Adequate Training is vital to integrate geospatial instruments into your business for long term success

August 18, 2018 by apfadmn

Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today

During the first half of 2018, I attended six different UAV or geospatial sensor focused conferences. At my meetings with exhibitors and attendees, a common thread was new users unleashing the full benefit of their new UAS platforms. It became abundantly clear that getting new training to integrate this technology is critical to the long-term success of their business.

Commercial UAV systems and their payloads are expensive and require a great deal of planning and evaluation before integration into your current operations. Undertaking aerial work in the field without adequate training is not only risky but costs you unnecessary time and risks leaving the client unimpressed with your results. Basic UAV flight operation is becoming easier as flight planning software and ground control technology improves; however, performing your flight safely, efficiently and correctly recording the data is paramount to a successful UAV initiative.

In June at the Energy Drone Coalition conference in Houston, Dave Morris, Intel’s Senior Director of Global Drone Sales Enablement & Business Development said, “Adopting new technology is always exciting, however, differentiating yourself as a professional drone operator usually requires more than a Part 107 certificate. The best way to unlock the full potential of drones, while maintaining a safe operation, is to couple industry-specific training with practical flight experience.”

UAV flight training is only part of the equation. Getting the full value from your post-processing software is an area that can be underemphasized. Take advantage of your provider’s online training or webinars to access the latest modules for integration into your processes.

As you evaluate whether a UAV program is right for your business, be sure you are not underestimating the importance of a comprehensive and ongoing training program. And if new equipment is in your sights, please be sure to reach out if you are curious about what financing terms we can offer. You may be surprised how affordable and easy our process is!

I am so grateful for the opportunity for someone to trust in me to expand my business. They kept in complete contact with us from the start to the end, even when they were on a business vacation. At a point when we had to change vendors and purchase a different truck due to circumstances with the previous vendor, no one ever made us feel like it was a bother to reconfigure the paperwork and financing terms. It was a great experience and I would recommend others to do business with this company.

- William - Arborist, SC

My overall experience was great. I believe the funding is going to help us have the equipment we need to operate at a level that will help us grow. The team was great to work with.

​The first time I used AP was through a bucket truck dealer in Clinton Illinois about five years ago. I made the long trip over there and arrived late in the day. The team worked till eight o'clock at night to get things finalized and to get me on the road with my new bucket truck. They earned my business right there and have used your services numbers times since​.
- Matt - Arborist, IN

The reason why I come back and do business again is because of the fantastic AP team. In my business time is money and it’s nice to have someone do what they say there going to do and work quickly. Thanks!
- Keith - Trucking Company, CA

I give props to Todd Mickey and team!! Great guys to do work with. I'm located in upstate NY. I can get financed faster from AP EQUIPMENT FINANCING using Todd and team in California faster and more efficient than right here in my home town. This is out second loan being held with AP Financing and next year will be our third. Thanks Todd!!
- Walter - Arborist, NY

There were absolutely no issues at all! From Austin to Aubri and then Amanda, these folks are the ones that make the company what it is! They're all super professional, courteous, well-mannered and most of all... friendly as it gets! When I work with these professionals, I know my company can count on them to get all my equipment financed on time and on budget! THANK YOU for being a major part of my company's back bone!
- Tim - Parcel Delivery Contractor, CA

Great customer service and great people!! They really focus on helping you find the best equipment for your business. I've been working with this company for the past 6 years have purchased 8 trucks. Mike Helder and his co-workers have been excellent with prompt service for getting my vehicles financed with good follow up after purchase. Thank you guys.
- Tae - Parcel Delivery Contractor, WA

Working with Fred Williams to secure my company's new truck was a "no-hassle" experience. He was able to answer all my questions and provided timely customer service. I would not hesitate to recommend him, and AP Equipment Financing, to others in my service industry.
- Peter - Parcel Delivery Contractor, ME

Friendly staff always trying to make things go as smoothly as possible. Benefiting our company by supplying financing for equipment necessary to keep us on the road.
- Phil - Parcel Delivery Contractor, WA

The Chevys are working out well! Very good trucks, and they have helped out a lot. It was a pleasure doing business with you guys. Everything went very smooth and everyone I dealt with were very professional, kind, and knowledgeable. Definitely will use you again for any future purchases. Thank you so much for helping me grow my business.
- Christopher - Parcel Delivery Contractor, WY

Hey Jordan! I just want to tell you thank you for all of your help with getting me a new van! Pick-up last Friday went very smooth. The van will be a great addition to my fleet. If I ever need another vehicle you'll definitely be the guy I call! Thanks again for everything!
- Randy - Parcel Delivery Contractor, MN

You've been great to work with and I would without a doubt recommend you guys. You have been the easiest lender to work with and I am very grateful.
- Kelly - Parcel Delivery Contractor, TN

What was most noteworthy to me was that your company took the time to offer information that directly affects our lives as contractors. Moreover, the knowledge we’ve gained from your efforts has placed us in a position to more readily and effectively negotiate for the long-term viability of our company.
- Parcel Delivery Contractor, LA

We were having a hard time finding funding to purchase a truck through our bank. We learned about Allegiant and got approved in a couple days. It was smooth sailing from there! The honest, diligent, hardworking staff made the process a breeze!
- Arborist, CO

In business, you have to acknowledge what your time is worth. I’ve had offers from other financers who will beat Allegiant rates but I know I can count on Allegiant to provide great, timely service every time and for that I will continue to work with them and recommend them to other businesses for the same reason.
- Greg – Arborist, WA

I have been a FedEx Ground contractor for 14 years, operating out of Massachusetts. I just picked up my second Hino and could not be happier with them. I only wish I knew 14 years ago what I know now. Can I give a shout out for the team and all the people involved that made this purchase even more special? Austin, and the ladies at AP Equipment Financing. Thanks Again!
- John – Parcel Delivery Contractor, MA

I started using Allegiant for the relationship I have/had with Dave. This business is about building relationships and, when you find someone you work well with, you make sure to keep that relationship healthy. It’s just good business.
- Greg - Arborist, WA

I came to Allegiant with a time sensitive equipment purchase. A vendor was offering me a $5,000 discount on a soft content wash system if I purchased by the end of the month. There was only one business day left in the month, but due to the hard work from Dave, Janice, Sylvia, and Briana, Allegiant was able to get my equipment funded the next day!
- Greg – Cleaning and Restoration Contractor

Thank you so much for all your help on sourcing and financing my newest truck. It showed up today and it’s absolutely gorgeous and my drivers can’t wait to use it. I know I’m not the easiest person to get in touch with, especially when I’m driving, but thank you very much.
- Brian – Parcel Delivery Contractor

Using AP Equipment Financing has been such an easy and pleasurable experience, a year later I know there was no one else to call. The team helped me acquire the equipment needed at the price that was right. The equipment arrived ahead of schedule and as requested!
- Peter, Parcel Delivery Contractor - NY

It's great to have a lending partner who understands the rental business. A large bank won't understand the up and downs of cash flow for a rental yard like mine.
