What is Soarvo?
Your introduction to the platform — what Soarvo does and who it's for.
Overview
Soarvo is a geospatial data management platform for teams to upload, view, and collaborate on location-based data — drone surveys, point clouds, 3D models, orthomosaics, GIS layers, and more.
The Two Environments
Soarvo has two core environments:
Web Portal
The web portal handles most data management, review, and administration. From here:
- Organise data into Projects and Locations
- Upload geospatial datasets —from Drones, Terrestrial Laser Scanners, Mobile Mapping systems, GIS data, CAD data, and BIM Models
- View data in an interactive 2D/3D map viewer
- Create and manage Features — point, line, and polygon annotations
- Measure distances, areas, and volumes
- Manage your team — invite users and control access per project and location
- Project Dashboard — a configurable board summarising project activity, inventory, and to-dos
Mobile App
The Soarvo mobile app (iOS and Android) captures GPS features, fills data forms, and syncs with the portal.
ℹ️ Note: This Knowledge Base covers both the web portal and the mobile app. Mobile workflows are in the Mobile App section.
How Data Is Organised
Data lives in a two-level hierarchy:
- Projects — top-level containers for related sites (e.g. all sites for one client)
- Locations — specific sites within a project, each with its own datasets
User Roles
Every user is assigned a role controlling access. Seven roles exist: Administrator, Project Manager, Project Supervisor, Editor, Viewer, Mobile-User, and Mobile-Only. See User Roles Explained.
