Hey Jon, hope my response helps you some.
We looked hard and long at this in my industry (Global O&G company). Every solution seems to have advantages and challenges. The opportunity is that imported data from your drone can save time and provide a standardized way to collect flight-related data related to the vehicle and its systems. You will still need non-vehicle information for UAS operators. Ideally, most of your UAS program data can be married at the right level, and organized to give the UAS coordinator a quick view of the status and health of their overall program (people, plastic, paper).
Example of UAV flight log data problem: AirDATA and similar systems cannot get accurate battery usage statistics with DJI systems using 2 or more batteries. The DJI Standard development kit does not expose the batter data of secondary batteries (M210, M300, etc.). Not sure if its the same with other OEMS.
The existing auto-loggers read the OEM electronic flight log files when connected. If you're using UAV manufacturers who do not expose their internal flight log files, then plug-n-play 3rd party systems wont be able to read it or parse it into info you can use.
Another challenge may be related to if your company would allow access to a 3rd party flight logging site from behind your company's firewall.
Ultimately, I would guess you're looking for a system to manage all your UAV resources; people, plastic, and paper. Not sure that exists...yet.
People: Pilot info (names, qualifications, certifications, flight hours per system, use cases, etc.)
Plastic: Vehicle info (name, serial numbers, tail numbers, maintenance schedule, maintenance performed , active/quarantined batteries, etc)
Paper: Program documentation (procedures, instructions, checklists, OEM manuals, training material, receipts, warranties,
Back as far as 2018, we looked at AirData, Kittyhawk (Aloft), DroneLogBook, ESRI...even ANRA Technologies who are a big player in UTM development for North America.
We opted for spreadsheets for local use, with a lightweight web-based, internally-built central reporting system to aggregate location-specific total flight hours by vehicle type + general use case descriptions (inspection, emergency response, mapping, etc.)
