Estimating instead of measuring
In practice, stock is rarely measured exactly. Usually it's a walk around the site, an estimate based on experience, or the weighbridge. But that only knows the incoming and outgoing flows, not what's actually there. This creates a structural uncertainty on the stock that can easily run up to 15%. Invisible, until it goes wrong.
Uncertain on the balance sheet
Your stock is one of your largest assets. If the value is 15% off, a substantial amount sits 'in uncertainty'. And your accountant raises questions about it.
Mistakes in operations
Half-empty loads, saying 'no' while it's actually there, or overcommitting on stock you don't have. A few wrong trips quickly cost thousands of euros.
Disputes and surprises
Customers contest quantities without an objective measurement. At the year-end closing, a difference turns up between the records and reality, missing stock you have to write off, straight out of your profit.
Sound familiar? One reliable measurement takes that uncertainty off the table, along with the money tied up in it.
Estimating isn't free
A deviation of around 15% sounds abstract, until you work it out on your own stock. Slide the value to your situation and see how much uncertainty you take off the table.
Slide to the estimated value of the material on your site.
This isn't cash in your account, but the stock value you don't currently know for sure: working capital and risk that you control with AiroMap instead of estimate.
And then there's the year-end closing. If the records differ from what's actually there, whether more or less, that difference has to be corrected. Such a correction comes straight off the bottom line instead of revenue, and therefore often weighs more heavily than the amount itself.
Calculate your ROI in a free demoOne figure everyone trusts
Measuring by hand only captures part of the stockpile. AiroMap records the complete stockpile in millions of 3D points, with a margin of error of 1 to 3%. What you get back is one reliably substantiated report, ready to share with your accounting, your customers and your planning.
Powered by the AiroMap platform
What you get
Complete 3D model
Every shape, height and depth of the entire batch is captured. For sand, gravel, rubble, asphalt and mixed flows.
Automatic report
As soon as the measurement is in, the volumes are calculated and your measurement report is compiled automatically.
Everything in the cloud
Your measurements and reports are stored securely online and open directly in the browser. There's nothing to install.
Easy to share
Export to PDF or Excel, or share the full 3D model via a unique link. Everyone works with the same figures.
What accurate measuring delivers
With reliable figures instead of estimates, the uncertainty disappears from your decisions. That pays off on several fronts.
Better planning, lower costs
Plan on what's actually there. Load trucks and ships optimally, with fewer trips and fewer mistakes or unfulfilled orders.
No surprises on the balance sheet
A reliable stock value prevents large write-offs, unexpected fluctuations at the monthly closing and differences at the year-end closing.
Control over your working capital
Your stock is working capital. If you know exactly what's there, you also know how much capital is tied up and can steer on it.
Substantiation at audits
Independent, reproducible data your accountant and your client can build on.
Measuring you control yourself
AiroMap makes highly accurate stock measurements something you do yourself, on your own schedule, as often as you like. No waiting time, no appointments, no specialist. That changes not only how you measure, but how often you really know what's there.
Immediate results
No days waiting for a report. Within ~20 minutes of the flight your volume figures are ready. You know it that same morning.
Fully automatic
The drone plans and flies the measurement entirely by itself. Anyone on your team can operate it, without prior knowledge or experience.
Measure whenever you want
No calendars or appointments with third parties. You measure on demand, on your own schedule. Today, next week or every month again.
Cost-effective with frequent measuring too
One fixed monthly fee, unlimited measuring within your budget. The more often you measure, the lower the cost per measurement. Built for periodic counts.
Always the same method
Every measurement follows exactly the same validated process. Figures that are comparable month on month and that your accountant accepts without discussion.
For a single project stockpile too
Whether you have a temporary stockpile on a construction site or dozens of fixed piles: you measure where and when you want. One location or several, the measurement works the same everywhere.
One platform, one fixed subscription, unlimited users. Stock measurement becomes a fixed part of your work week instead of a one-off job.
Everything in one package, up and running within half a day
In one package you get everything you need: drone, software, training and everything around it, so you get started easily. The drone flies fully automatically. Thanks to our professional training and the simple software platform, everyone on your team is up and running within half a day, without prior knowledge or drone experience.
And the measuring itself is fully automatic, in three steps:
AVG measures its entire stock every quarter
AVG, one of the largest recycling and raw materials companies in the region, chose AiroMap to measure accurately on all its locations itself.
AVG deploys AiroMap every quarter at all five of its locations. The drone autonomously flies a preset route and accurately maps each site. This way AVG always has an up-to-date and reliable picture of its stock, instead of an estimate by eye.
- A measurement every quarter at all five locations, for up-to-date and comparable figures
- Detects stock differences that remain invisible to the naked eye
- A reliable basis for stock valuation and the monthly deliveries
“A great step towards more reliable inventory management.”
AiroMap's measurement process has been independently reviewed and validated as a basis for stock valuation in the annual accounts. Dated, documented and reproducible.
See what's really on your site
The annoying thing about stock differences is that you don't see them: as long as you don't measure, they build up unnoticed. Book a free demo and discover how much difference there really is on your site. We come by, fly your site and deliver a sample report with your actual volumes.
