TORONTO, Dec. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ZenaTech, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZENA) (FSE: 49Q) ("ZenaTech"), a technology company specializing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) drone solutions and enterprise SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) solutions, announces today that it has signed an LOI (Letter of Intent) to acquire its first land survey company, part of a larger roll-up strategy to disrupt the land survey industry by accelerating the use of drones for speed, accuracy and innovation benefits. The signed agreement is with a US company, which will form the base of the DaaS (Drone-as-a-Service) business in the Southeast US region.

“This is a crucial step in the establishment of our DaaS strategy, which includes the disruption of an established land survey business ecosystem. We have a unique opportunity to significantly disrupt the land survey business through drone technologies and the DaaS business model. This is analogous to the way Uber disrupted the taxi industry. We believe these acquisitions have the potential to add significant revenue and power the roll-out of our DaaS business in the US and globally,” said CEO Shaun Passley, Ph.D.

The US Surveying and Mapping Services industry is estimated at $10.3 billion according to Business Research Insights, growing at least 3% annually.  Remotely piloted and autonomous drones with an array of sensors and cameras, LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), and GPS systems for capturing high-resolution pictures and data are revolutionizing the land survey industry. Aerial data across expansive terrains can be gathered and analyzed in a matter of hours instead of the typical weeks or months required using traditional methods.

Accurate land surveys are essential for the planning, design, and execution of roads, bridges, and building projects for cities, commercial, and residential projects, and are required for legal purposes. ZenaTech is focused on smaller land survey engineering firms with an overseeing licensed Surveyor-in-Charge, a valuable designation that takes years to achieve. The use of drones requires FAA licensing and drone expertise, hardware, and software that ZenaDrone will bring to the transaction.

ZenaTech’s DaaS business model allows governments, farmers, oil and gas companies, environmental firms, etc. to utilize a complete drone solution for a specific application─ i.e. land surveying, crop management, inspection, safety, or compliance application, and purchase it on a pay-as-you-go basis rather than having to buy the entire drone hardware and software solution. This business model provides cost-effective access to the enhanced productivity benefits and AI capabilities offered by drone technology to optimize time, improve precision, and eliminate outdated or manual processes.

ZenaDrone’s multifunction AI drones will be offered in the DaaS business model both directly by the company and through its business partners.
