NIKA use case
NIKA for Construction & infrastructure
See progress and catch deviations using the reality-capture tools US contractors already deploy.
For GCs and project teams — track progress and inspect assets without another truck roll.

Everything you need exists — just not in one place.
Project teams capture reality with drones and 360 cameras, but the data sits unused in separate apps — so progress disputes and missed deviations still cost truck rolls and rework.
What NIKA does
How NIKA helps construction & infrastructure teams.
Track progress
Compare each capture to the design model and flag deviations automatically.
Measure earthwork
Compute cut-and-fill volumes over time from drone surveys.
Inspect remotely
Find the assets that actually need an on-site visit from imagery.
Products that power this
From the old way to the NIKA workflow.

How it works
From your data to a decision.
- Step 1
Connect your data
Files, folders, and the platforms your team already pays for.
- Step 2
Ask in plain language
No query language, no technical expertise — just the question.
- Step 3
NIKA reasons across location
It reads, searches, and runs the analysis grounded in real coordinates.
- Step 4
Get the decision
A report, map, or answer you can act on and share.
Data connectors NIKA uses
NIKA plugs into the platforms construction & infrastructure teams already pay for, then reasons across them in one place.
- Procore
- Autodesk Construction Cloud
- DroneDeploy
- Propeller
- OpenSpace
- Trimble
- Bluebeam
What you can ask NIKA
- Compare this week's DroneDeploy capture to the design model and flag deviations.
- Track cut-and-fill earthwork volumes over time.
