Rethinking how we deliver drone jobs - looking for feedback

[NDS-Success]

I’m looking for some honest feedback from other commercial pilots on a new client job portal / dashboard we’ve been working on.

We’ve been experimenting with a client-facing “job portal” instead of traditional PDFs or Drive folders — basically a single link where a client can see and interact with everything that they want to. The idea is to move away from “here’s a folder of photos” and toward something that feels more like a structured job deliverable, especially for inspections, roofing, and construction progress.

I put together a demo of what a client would see (no login required) for anyone willing to take a look and share thoughts:

Not selling anything here — genuinely interested in:

• Would clients actually use this?
• Is this overkill for most jobs?
• What would you remove or simplify?

Appreciate any feedback.

I have clients that want the assets to be delivered to Dropbox, some that want Google Drive, and none that have required a Physical USB.

I'm pretty much exclusively working in civil stuff for now, where I work, this would be massive overkill. They see stuff like that as something they are paying extra for. Most of the time on the rare occasions I do photo or video for real estate type work, it's going to someone who is just going to drop it in a powerpoint. This unknown end user might appreciate that site for a presentation, but the 3 layers of middle management don't know exactly what it's for or what the person getting it actually desires, and they aren't going to explain.

I appreciate it, how cool it is and professional looking. But any time I do anything I'm just asked to put photos in a folder somewhere someone can download them. Sometime they just want them "emailed" and fuss if it's not a normal attachment, then I have to go through explaining their minimum cost email server does not want to send attachments more than 20MB.

But, do not despair, as I am very confident my experience is not representative of your target customers. I feel like the people I usually work with don't want anything better because it would require them to learn that there is something better.

I admit that program looks awesome and professional. Like others I am not sure the customers would be interested in that, yet. I think its great for moving forward and addressing the needs of construction customers. I say keep moving forward and establish a standard.
