Office software for people who fly drones for a living.

• Quotes

  Set your prices once, by the acre, roof, listing or hour. Clients sign and pay a deposit from their phone, and a signed quote becomes a job.

• Leads

  Requests from your form, order page and phone land in one list, down to the flyer's QR code. Tower drafts a priced reply, and nothing goes out until you send it.

• Scheduling

  One calendar for pilots and jobs, with the forecast for each site at each hour, so a bad day shows up the evening before.

• Airspace and TFRs

  Every booking is checked against controlled airspace and TFRs until the morning you fly. For LAANC, DroneCRM prepares the request and opens the app you already use.

• Client email

  Email from your own domain, with replies filed under the right job, so the whole thread is there when someone asks about their photos.

• The day of the flight

  Address, gate code, shot list and preflight checklist on your phone, with flight time logged to the job as you go.

• Invoices

  Built from the quote. Clients pay by card or bank transfer, reminders go out on your schedule, and everything exports to QuickBooks or Xero.

• Agreements and documents

  Terms, image license and property permission from drone-specific templates, agreed before a quote is accepted. Templates are a starting point, not legal advice.

Works with what you already use

QuickBooks and Xero

Invoices and clients download as files in QuickBooks' and Xero's own import formats, ready to import there. Connect your Stripe account to QuickBooks or Xero and online payments show up there to match.

Your own domain

Client email goes out from your company's own address once you add a few DNS records, and replies come back into DroneCRM filed under the right job.

Your calendar

Bookings show up in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook through a private feed link each person subscribes to.

Stripe

Clients pay deposits and invoices by card or bank transfer, and the money goes straight to your Stripe account.

Your own tools

Send new clients, jobs, quotes, invoices and payments to your own software with signed webhooks, or use the API. On Pro and Fleet.

Your LAANC app

Jobs in controlled airspace come with the request details ready to paste into the LAANC app you already use. You file it there and record the answer in DroneCRM.

FAA flight restrictions

DroneCRM watches the FAA's list of temporary flight restrictions and flags any that touch a booked job.

DataDelivery™

Send a job's photos to National Drone Services for maps and 3D models. The finished files and the client's delivery link come back to the job. How the DataDelivery™ integration works

Pricing

One price per company, with everyone on your team included. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial.

Questions

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Every plan starts with 14 days free. You choose a plan and add a card when you sign up, and if you cancel before the 14 days end, you won't be charged.

Can I bring over my clients and past jobs?

Yes. Import clients from an Excel file or a CSV, including a list exported from Jobber, HubSpot, QuickBooks or Xero as it is. Past jobs can come in from a spreadsheet too, and if yours is a mess, send it over and we'll sort it out.

Does it replace QuickBooks?

No, and it isn't trying to. DroneCRM handles quotes, invoices and payments, then exports your invoices and clients as files ready to import into QuickBooks or Xero. Connect your Stripe account to QuickBooks or Xero and online payments show up there to match.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. It works in any phone browser, and the flight-day screens are built to be used with one hand in bright sun.

Does DroneCRM file LAANC requests?

No, you do, in the LAANC app you already use. When you book a job in controlled airspace, DroneCRM works out what the request needs from the site, the time and the assigned pilot, checks it against the altitude the FAA pre-approves there, and opens your LAANC app with the details ready to paste. You file it and record the answer, and Tower reminds you if you haven't. If a job needs more altitude than the facility map allows, it's flagged for further coordination along with the filing deadline, which is 72 hours before the flight.

Can I rely on the TFR alerts?

Treat them as an early warning, not a clearance. DroneCRM checks the FAA's TFR list through the day and re-checks every job the evening before and the morning of, but restrictions can go up minutes before a flight. Keep checking airspace in your LAANC or B4UFLY app as part of your preflight.

Will Tower send things without asking?

Not unless you switch that on for a specific kind of email. Out of the box it only writes drafts.

Do I need DataDelivery™?

No. DroneCRM works on its own. If you already use DataDelivery™, you connect it from Settings.
