About

Our Story

We started out as a commercial drone company (South West Aerial Surveys Ltd) specialising in drone mapping and infrastructure inspection working across southwest England and beyond. We expanded into providing enhanced prop-tech digital solutions built on our technical knowledge in geospatial data and imaging, both in the air, as well as on the ground and inside buildings. The company became InViewAssets to better reflect the broader activities and precision data-capture focus of the business. 

Our Mission

To support businesses through their digital transformation of asset management, maintenance and remote inspection by providing high-resolution immersive imagery and a range of digital data.  At InView, we bring a unique “turnkey” capability by integrating high-resolution internal and external 3D visual scans and data.

We help bring about positive change through complete asset intelligence.

Our Vision​

To continue to be a dynamic prop-tech company that embraces creativity.  With one eye on the future, we are constantly looking for new ways of working with customers in order to make their operations more productive, safer and help improve sustainability. We want to continue to show how digital twinning technology can be used as a source of expert evidence which always puts us and our clients above the competition.

Our Values

  • Listening, hearing and collaborating through strong partnerships. 
  • We are always learning and trying to understand more about technology and its impacts on client productivity.
  • We develop long-term relationships built on trust, transparency, creativity and problem-solving.
