Nearmap captures its own high-resolution aerial imagery, refreshed up to three times per year, and analyzes it with a proprietary AI model that generates 130+ semantic property layers such as roof condition, tree canopy coverage, and land use classification. The intelligence is delivered through workflow applications, direct system integrations, and APIs, serving insurance, architecture/engineering/construction, and government customers across the property lifecycle.

Heap automatically captures every user interaction — clicks, form submissions, swipes — so you can analyse behaviour retroactively without pre-planning events. Loved by product teams at Twilio, Freshworks, and HashiCorp.
