Understanding Contenders vs. Pretenders in the Drone Industry

Drone Insights & Technology

On this episode we are joined by Vice President of Sales at Measure, Abigail Lacy.

We explored some nuanced topics in the ever-expanding drone industry—how can you distinguish the contenders from the pretenders? And how can drones be presented in a way that avoids overpromising and underdelivering in an industry that undergoes constant growth and innovation?

“There’s a lot of fluff in the industry that makes people believe that delivery with a drone is going to become commonplace tomorrow,” Lacy said. “That’s actually not the reality. It’s still very much in the R&D phase. That’s just one example of the kind of misinformation that’s been built up around drones.”

Lacy also shared key questions to ask a drone or software provider, along with best practices for brokering successful partnerships and making sure your business needs are met.
