Simplifying File Movement for the Built World

Enable architects, engineers, construction, and geospatial teams to work faster and smarter — anytime, anywhere.

Geospatial businesses, like AEC and terrain surveying companies, often rely on traditional transfer methods such as FTP services, shipping physical hard drives, or web-based tools like Google Drive, Dropbox, and WeTransfer. While these tools may serve general business purposes, they are ill-suited for large data payloads, file integrity requirements, and tight deadlines when capturing geospatial images. This mismatch frequently results in project delays and higher costs.

Wrangle Large Dataset Transfers

As geospatial projects grow in complexity, so does the volume of files, the resolution of scans, and the intricacy of 3D models. These advancements can create significant data bottlenecks, delaying critical workflows. By enabling rapid, reliable data movement, teams can quickly access high-resolution scans, detailed 3D models, and other large files without interruptions.

Seamless Collaboration Across Stakeholders

Exchange large files like point clouds, CAD designs, and final 3D models across firms, construction sites, and client offices. A reliable file transfer solution ensures real-time collaboration, faster approvals, and smoother project execution, eliminating delays caused by incompatible systems, slow or unreliable transfers, or manual physical deliveries.

Reduce Time to Access Data

Quickly move large datasets from remote scanning locations to processing platforms. This enables faster analysis, immediate feedback, and quicker decision-making. By reducing delays in accessing critical data, teams can avoid costly site revisits, streamline workflows, and keep projects on schedule, ultimately improving overall productivity and efficiency.

Backup/Archive Project Data

Maintain easy and secure up-to-date backups of work-in-progress files. Using cloud-based solutions, teams can automatically back up large datasets, BIM models, and source imagery in real-time. This ensures that no progress is lost due to hardware failure, human error, or site disruptions. Reliable cloud backups also allow teams to restore files instantly, keeping projects on track and reducing downtime risks.

Safeguard File Integrity

Ensure the integrity of geospatial-centric files and projects by eliminating file corruption during transfers. With advanced technologies that maintain file accuracy even over unreliable networks, organizations can guarantee files arrive intact and unaltered. This minimizes costly rework, reduces downtime, and enables seamless collaboration among teams, partners, and clients, keeping projects on track and workflows efficient.

Secure & Control Your Data

Protect valuable datasets with advanced security features such as end-user permissions, granular access controls, comprehensive reporting, analytics, and end-to-end encryption. By utilizing your own storage rather than passing data through a third-party vendor’s possession, you maintain complete control over your data, reducing exposure and ensuring it stays within your secured environment. These safeguards provide peace of mind while enabling seamless collaboration across teams and partners.

What Signiant Does for Your Business

Patented Acceleration

  • Patented Acceleration

    Signiant’s proprietary acceleration technology transfers data up to 100 times faster than traditional methods. It excels in efficiently handling large files or volumes of smaller file common in design workflows. By minimizing the effects of latency and packet loss, teams can maintain momentum, meet deadlines, and streamline collaboration across locations.

Rock-solid Reliability

  • Rock-solid Reliability

    With checkpoint restart, interrupted transfers automatically resume from the point of failure, ensuring no data is lost during transmission. Combined with advanced integrity checks, files arrive intact and uncorrupted, even across unreliable networks. Receive real-time notifications when transfers are complete, eliminating guesswork, and ensuring confidence in the reliability of field operations.

Storage Independence

  • Storage Independence

    Signiant’s storage independence enhances security by allowing organizations to transfer and access files directly within their own storage environments. With no need to pass data through third-party storage, businesses maintain complete control over sensitive files, reducing exposure risks. This approach ensures data stays secure while enabling seamless collaboration across teams.

Scalability for Your Business

  • Scalability for Your Business

    The Signiant Platform’s scale-out architecture automatically adjusts to increased data volumes and complexities. By distributing workloads across multiple nodes, it ensures efficient, reliable file transfers without manual IT intervention, supporting seamless growth and maintaining productivity.

Customized Portals for Projects & Clients

  • Customized Portals for Projects & Clients

    Set up unlimited portals that can be customized and branded to different workflows, teams, and projects, including foreign language support and branding, making it adaptable to the diverse needs of today’s geospatial businesses.

Robust Access Control

  • Robust Access Control

    Add users, restrict permissions, control access to content, and track activity so you always know who has access to which files. Get real-time feedback on the state of active transfers, ensuring peace of mind and enabling you to focus on your next project.

In the architecture, engineering, construction, and geospatial industries, innovation depends on the seamless exchange of data at the fast pace of business.
