Globhe

Globhe runs an online marketplace for reality data. Customers order drone, robot, or camera captures of one or many locations, either once or on a recurring schedule. They define an area by uploading a file or drawing it on a map. Globhe invites local licensed capturers from a network it puts at more than 11,000 operators in about 150 countries. It checks the processed data against the requested specification, then delivers it to the customer's Globhe account or sends it to their own software through an API. The platform sends automatic status updates and supports messaging inside the platform. A separate Data Library sells imagery that has already been captured, for example for training AI models or comparing against new captures. Typical outputs include orthomosaics, 3D models, and terrain models. Typical uses include wind turbine and telecom tower inspection, construction progress tracking, flood modeling, and environmental monitoring. The service suits energy, telecom, infrastructure, and humanitarian organizations that need data from many places but do not want to hire pilots themselves. Pricing is quote-based for each order. Globhe says local capturers bid on jobs, which it claims can save up to 50 percent. A 2020 MIT Solve listing quoted data from USD 10 per hectare and subscriptions from USD 1,000 per month, but those figures are old. The main limitation is that Globhe is a data sourcing service, not analysis software. It does not offer work orders, maintenance, or defect analytics, so buyers will need separate tools to analyze the data they receive.
