The map is changing faster than most businesses can. We sit down with Aerometrex CEO Robert Veitch to unpack how a leaner operating model, smarter products, and disciplined sales are turning a complex geospatial portfolio into a growth engine with real operating leverage.

Robert breaks down the three pillars: MetroMap, a high‑resolution aerial imagery subscription updated up to six times a year in major cities; LIDAR, delivering precision terrain and asset intelligence for sectors like environment, energy, mining, and infrastructure; and hyper‑realistic 3D meshes that power digital twins and scenario planning. We explore why MetroMap’s ACV now has outsized margin impact, how oblique imagery, elevation profiles, contours, and hillshade reduce site visits and accelerate approvals, and what a cleaner interface means for enterprise adoption. On the LIDAR side, we go inside recent wins with the Queensland Government and Shell QGC, the 52% revenue lift, and the importance of asset utilisation without extra capex. For 3D, we dig into international momentum, practical use cases that justify spend, and the path to scale as digital twins move mainstream.

The strategy pivots on “One Aerometrex”: a unified organisation where product, production, PMO, and sales work as one, breaking silos so customers get solutions rather than isolated services. That shift, paired with more than $2 million in cost reductions and two quarters of zero cash burn, sets the stage for profitable growth. Robert also shares highlights from the Q1 trading update, the renewed Landchecker partnership with a multi‑year commitment, and a measured stance on M&A, partnerships, and licensing to maximise shareholder value.
