Win the contract before you take off

❌ A classic PDF quote

A price and a few specs on paper
At best a single reference photo
Looks like every other quote
The client compares on one thing: the money

✓ An interactive project page

Your branding, your logo — professional at a glance
Interactive orthophoto, 360° views and thermal imagery
The report laid out next to the images
The client sees exactly what they'll get, up front

What if your client already saw what they'll get?

Picture this: alongside your quote you attach a link to a real project page. Your branding, your logo. The client clicks and sees how an interactive orthophoto works — zooming right down to a single roof tile; what 360° views look like; how thermal imagery is presented with its temperature data; how the report sits neatly next to the images; how professional the whole thing looks.

The competitor promises "high-quality imagery and a detailed report". You show it. That's no longer a quote — that's proof.

Why this works

Trust is the real product. A client ordering a drone inspection isn't buying photos. They're buying certainty: that the work will be done professionally and that they'll be able to act on it. An interactive demo removes that doubt before the sales conversation has even properly begun.

You shift the conversation away from price. Someone who can only compare a PDF compares euros. Someone who has already seen your delivery compares value. You prove professionalism instead of claiming it. Everyone writes "professional" in their quote. Almost no one shows it.

How to do it

Build one demo project with representative work: an orthophoto, a few images, a sample report and, optionally, a 360° tour.
Attach the link to every quote. One sentence is enough: "This is how you'll receive your results — feel free to take a look already."
Deliver through the same environment after the job. The client returns to the platform that already convinced them. From first impression to final delivery.

DronePortal doesn't replace your tools — it connects them

You keep working with the tools you already know. DronePortal replaces neither your processing software nor your viewers; it brings the results together on one branded page your client trusts. It doesn't replace, it connects.

Tested and compatible: WebODM Lightning, Pix4Dcloud, Kuula 360°, Sketchfab and Matterport.

From the field

DronePortal was built by a drone pilot, not by a software company. The approach above isn't theory — it's how Droneview.be, the inspection company behind DronePortal, sends its quotes today. Ever since clients can see what the delivery looks like right at the quote stage, the whole sales conversation changes: it's no longer about the price of a flight, but about the result.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to build a separate project for every quote?

No. One good demo project is enough for all your quotes. For large jobs you can optionally build a tailored demo — it takes fifteen minutes and makes an impression.

Can the prospect see other clients' projects?

Never. Every client and every prospect sees only what you open up for them.

Does this work for tenders and public-sector bids too?

Especially there. A read-only demo environment for evaluators leaves a strong, verifiable impression alongside your written submission.

What does it cost?

You can start with a free trial, no credit card. After that from the Starter plan — less than a single won contract brings in.
