Satellite imagery in field service refers to the use of overhead aerial photographs (from satellites or aircraft) to remotely assess and measure properties. High-resolution satellite images allow businesses to measure roofs, driveways, lawns, and building footprints without a physical site visit. This capability dramatically speeds up the estimating process and reduces the cost of quoting jobs that may not convert.
A roofing company receives an inquiry for a roof cleaning. Using satellite imagery, they measure the roof at 2,800 sq ft, identify that it is a single-story ranch with minimal pitch, and send a $980 estimate — all within 20 minutes and without leaving the office.
