What is the Data Exchange?

The DroneDeploy Data Exchange is a powerful data solution designed to empower DroneDeploy’s most advanced customers. 

 

While the Analytics Dashboard is designed to answer many of the questions you might have about DroneDeploy, there will always be questions you have that are unique to your business, or require information that DroneDeploy doesn’t have access to. For all of those questions, we have the Data Exchange - a tool that gives you access to all the structured data we have about your organization so you can report on it the way you want and combine with other data sources.

 

 

What types of data are available?

The DroneDeploy data instance includes several tables that can be used to analyze your usage on the platform. The data provided can answer questions like:

 

  • When was the first and last activity date for my organization?
  • How often are my pilots capturing each month?
  • How many external users do I have in my organization?
  • What is the capture rate for each group within my organization?
  • How many active projects did my organization have this month?
  • What are my most viewed projects?
  • Where are my projects located?
  • … and many more.

 

The increased value comes from the ability to join DroneDeploy data with your organization’s own internal data. Combining data from different sources can expand the analytics possibilities and enable you to answer more advanced questions like:

 

  • What level of drone usage has Department X (e.g. as defined in MSFT Active Directory) done to date? 
  • What is the latest reality capture data for Asset ID 1234 located at X,Y? 

 

For example, here is a chart that shows activity count by employee department (as defined in the company directory)

How is this different from the GraphQL API?

  • While our GraphQL API is great for automating workflows and querying/mutating data for individual objects (plan, annotation etc..), the Data Exchange is designed to pull all data on all objects (annotations, maps, projects, users, activity, and more) into your data warehouse.
  • The GraphQL API returns documents (No-SQL), where as the Data Exchange is designed to be integrated with SQL.
