Nimbus is a cloud‑native SaaS platform that streamlines flight coordination between commercial drone operators and airspace infrastructure owners. It offers an interactive geofencing map that automatically cross‑references AIP/NOTAM data, pre‑fills regulatory forms, and issues cryptographically signed certificates with a full audit trail, accessible via web dashboard or API. Tiered subscription plans provide pay‑per‑flight, unlimited, and enterprise aerodrome packages.

Problem
Drone operators and aerodrome/heliport managers must exchange information through disparate channels (ENAIRE portals, email, phone), manually complete regulatory forms, and track approvals across multiple systems. This fragmented workflow creates high administrative overhead, delays flight authorizations, and makes it difficult to maintain an auditable record of airspace usage.
Solution
Nimbus is a cloud‑native SaaS platform that unifies flight‑coordination between drone pilots and airspace infrastructure owners. Users select a flight polygon on an interactive map; the system automatically cross‑references official AIP and NOTAM data from ENAIRE, identifies required permits, and pre‑populates the submission form with the operator’s profile. Once submitted, the request is routed to the relevant aerodrome for review, and upon approval a digitally signed certificate with full traceability is issued and stored in a centralized repository. All interactions are logged in real time, enabling both pilots and infrastructure managers to query historical coordination data, monitor compliance, and generate audit reports through a web dashboard or API integration.
Target Audience
The primary customers are commercial drone service providers, freelance UAV pilots, and enterprises that operate drone fleets, as well as aerodrome, heliport, and other airspace infrastructure operators responsible for granting flight permissions.
