Software for drone business owners

Keep the client deliverable distinct from the flight plan.

A property photo brief, a roof imagery request and a site progress visit have different commercial expectations. Microtra organizes general client, appointment and invoicing records, while aircraft operation, airspace checks, flight planning and specialist processing stay in the qualified tools and procedures your work requires.

The everyday details

You know the work.
The admin adds up.

The client asks for a result, not only a flight

Image views, delivery format and review expectations should be agreed before work is priced. A broad request for drone footage can mean different things to a property agent, building professional or business ordering marketing material.

A site appointment is not flight authorization

The client may be available on a date when other operating conditions still need assessment. Keep the commercial booking separate from professional flight decisions so a calendar entry is never mistaken for permission or operational readiness.

Capture and editing are different effort

Preparing the assignment, collecting images and processing the agreed deliverables each use time. If the quote describes only attendance at a site, the owner may find it difficult to explain additional editing requests or revised outputs.

Equipment spending crosses several jobs

Batteries, storage media, maintenance and hired accessories contribute to the business even when not purchased for a single assignment. An owner needs those expense records alongside invoices rather than scattered among flight preparation notes.

Quote the outputs you have agreed

Use separate estimate items for agreed capture services, editing and approved additional deliverables. Enter your own quantities and prices. Microtra does not plan flights, process imagery, create maps or produce survey measurements.

Arrange business visits without implying clearance

Add job appointments and assigned staff after discussing practical site access. Use your qualified flight-planning process for operational decisions. The schedule records the commercial arrangement and does not determine whether an aircraft operation may proceed.

Record the effort beyond site attendance

Track time for preparation and agreed processing, then enter expenses with receipt photos for business costs. Stock starts off in Other; enable it in Modules & terms before using stock tools for countable supplies.

A day in the life

From the first quote to paid.

  1. Translate the request into deliverables

    Discuss the views, outputs and intended commercial use with the client. Establish what the service includes and identify requests that need specialist assessment or professional qualifications beyond general image capture.

  2. Assess the operation separately

    Follow relevant official aviation guidance and your qualified operating process for permissions, safety and suitability. Agree the business appointment only with a clear understanding that practical access and operational readiness need their own checks.

  3. Confirm a change to the output brief

    If the client requests more editing or a different deliverable, discuss the commercial effect before promising it. Update the estimate or job description while keeping technical processing and flight information in the specialist workflow.

  4. Close the assignment's business records

    Review supplied deliverables and approved additions against the invoice, share its PDF through your device and record payment received elsewhere. Enter time and expenses without presenting those general records as flight logs or technical certification.

A few useful answers

Questions from drone business owners.

Does Microtra control aircraft or plan flight paths?

It does not control drones, plan flights, assess airspace or determine operational permissions. Use appropriate specialist software, official aviation sources and qualified professional procedures for those decisions.

Will it process survey or mapping data?

Microtra does not process imagery into maps, measurements or survey outputs. It provides general business administration around the service you agree, and does not establish the suitability or accuracy of a technical deliverable.

Can the app keep a fleet record for each aircraft?

Other starts with linked records off and has no specialist aircraft record type. Maintain flight logs, maintenance and operational records in suitable systems. General item or expense records do not replace those professional controls.

How should I separate capture work from editing?

Use distinct estimate and invoice descriptions for the agreed services and deliverables. Record time where useful, review what the original package includes and obtain approval before adding work that changes the commercial agreement.
