Flycom Technologies (Slovenia)

Flycom Technologies is a Slovenian geospatial and remote sensing company based in Ljubljana. It specialises in the aerial and mobile capture of LiDAR and photogrammetric spatial data, and also conducts ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) thermography surveys to assess and monitor infrastructure objects. The company describes itself as one of Europe's largest providers of remote sensing data, combining spatial data capture with advanced analytics and software so that clients can efficiently manage, visualise and maintain geospatial data. Flycom's work spans three main areas: remote sensing, geospatial solutions and spatial software solutions. Its proprietary geographic information system, LIFT (Local Intelligence by Flycom Technologies), merges geospatial and business intelligence, supports 2D, 3D and 360-degree views and point-cloud display, and offers advanced analysis and simulations such as flooding, noise, visibility, traffic and climate-change impact. LIFT is offered in domain-specific variants including LIFT Smart City, LIFT Roads, LIFT Live, LIFT Mobile and LIFT Insurance, and is compatible with CAD, ERP and BI systems. Users and subscribers include public-sector bodies such as municipalities, ministries, the Slovenian Geodetic Administration (GURS), faculties and institutes, the European Space Agency (ESA), as well as energy companies (ELES, Petrol), telecommunications firms, utilities, surveying companies, logistics and transport operators (DARS, Slovenian Railways), banks and insurance companies. The company traces its origins to 2001, when Flycom was established and began helicopter services to mountain huts. It moved into aerial surveys of infrastructure using RGB, UV and IR technologies in 2002, added LiDAR and orthophoto remote sensing in 2006, and started dedicated GIS application development and implementation with clients in 2014. A 2018 reorganisation structured the business into remote sensing, operations, consultancy and GIS software. In 2019 the company was split into Flycom Technologies and Flycom Aviation, and its GIS work expanded into the insurance, telecommunications and energy sectors. It acquired its first remote sensing aircraft and deployed an MLS system for scanning road and rail infrastructure in 2020, and in 2021 began developing AI and machine-learning algorithms. Sustainability and the circular economy are presented as cornerstones of Flycom's strategy. The company states that it follows ESG (environmental, social and governance) standards and pursues goals including nature conservation, protection of natural resources, ethical business conduct and efficient cooperation. Operationally it cites the use of energy-efficient aircraft, helicopters and recording equipment, flight optimisation, use of unmanned systems, CO2 emission reduction, staff training and investment in new technologies. On the social side it describes a corporate social responsibility policy, health promotion, flexible working and teleworking, equal treatment of genders, non-discrimination, and community engagement through donations, sponsorships and the Social Entrepreneurship Programme. Flycom Technologies is a private company headquartered in Ljubljana, Slovenia, and is active in Slovenian and wider European geospatial markets.

Flycom Technologies traces its history to 2001, when Flycom was established and began operating helicopter services to mountain huts. The following year, in 2002, the company carried out its first aerial surveys of infrastructure facilities using RGB, UV and IR technologies, marking its entry into remote sensing for infrastructure assessment. In 2006 the company launched remote sensing using LiDAR and orthophoto technology, broadening its data-capture capabilities beyond thermography and visible-light imaging. In 2014 it began dedicated GIS application development and implementation with clients, moving from data capture into software and analytics. A period of growth and reorganisation followed in 2018, when the company was restructured into remote sensing, operations, consultancy and GIS software. In 2019 the company was split into Flycom Technologies and Flycom Aviation, separating the technology and software business from the aviation operations. In the same year, its GIS activities expanded into the insurance, telecommunications and energy sectors. In 2020 Flycom purchased its first remote sensing aircraft and deployed an MLS (mobile laser scanning) system to scan road and rail infrastructure. In 2021 the development of AI and machine-learning algorithms began, extending the company's analytics capabilities. By its own account, the company has been creating success stories and working on sustainable development for more than two decades. It describes itself as one of Europe's largest providers of remote sensing data, offering spatial data capture, advanced analytics and tools that let clients manage, visualise and maintain geospatial data. Its stated objectives are to maintain and strengthen its role as a key global player in remote sensing and to become a leading regional player in GIS systems and geospatial data analysis, providing comprehensive, tailored and integrated geospatial solutions while contributing to sustainable development. Sustainability and the circular economy are presented as important cornerstones of the business and its strategic choices. Flycom states that it follows ESG (environmental, social and governance) standards, and it lists goals including nature conservation, protection of natural resources, promotion of a circular economy, ethical business conduct and effective, efficient cooperation. Operationally, it cites the use of state-of-the-art, energy-efficient aircraft, helicopters and other recording equipment, flight optimisation, use of unmanned systems, reduction of CO2 emissions, staff training and investment in new technologies. Socially, it describes a corporate social responsibility policy, a health promotion programme, flexible working hours and teleworking, emphasis on employee growth and company culture, equal treatment of genders, zero tolerance of discrimination, and engagement with the local community through donations, sponsorships and participation in the Social Entrepreneurship Programme. On the management side, it says it continually adapts and improves business processes and manages and prevents risks on an ongoing basis. The company is headquartered in Ljubljana, Slovenia, and remains active in the geospatial and remote sensing sector.
