Procore to Acquire DroneDeploy, Creating Next-Generation Platform That Sees, Understands, and Acts on the Jobsite

Key Terms

reality capture technical

Reality capture is the use of cameras, lasers or other sensors to create precise digital copies — often 3D models or detailed maps — of real-world places or objects, like making a high-resolution digital clone. For investors, it matters because those digital replicas speed up planning, reduce costly surprises, improve asset tracking and maintenance, and can unlock new services or efficiencies across real estate, construction, manufacturing and mapping businesses.

rfis technical

RFIs (Requests for Information) are formal inquiries sent by regulators, investors, or counterparties asking a company to provide specific documents, data, or explanations about its operations, filings, or proposals. They matter to investors because RFIs can signal closer scrutiny or missing information—like a landlord asking to see repair records before renting—which may lead to delays, additional disclosures, or changes in valuation as more facts come to light.

multimodal perception technical

Multimodal perception is the ability of a system or organism to combine information from different types of inputs—like sight, sound, text, or sensor data—into a single understanding of a situation. For investors, it matters because products or services that fuse multiple data streams (for example, combining images and speech or medical scans and patient records) can be more accurate and useful, potentially creating competitive advantages, new markets, or regulatory considerations.

The proposed acquisition will bring DroneDeploy’s unified aerial and ground reality capture and robotics capabilities into the Procore platform, transforming jobsite imagery into AI-powered insights and actions

CARPINTERIA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Procore Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: PCOR), the leading global provider of construction management software, today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire DroneDeploy, Inc., the robotics and visual intelligence platform for the built world that is used on over 3 million jobsites across more than 180 countries. Procore will acquire DroneDeploy for approximately $845 million in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments.

As a leader in reality capture and robotic automation, DroneDeploy delivers the visual intelligence that bridges the built world—from active construction sites to operational assets—and the digital world, providing critical, real-time visibility into daily operations. Today, construction teams collaborate in Procore, documenting observations and driving actions within the platform. DroneDeploy captures visual information, and when combined with Procore AI, that visual data can be translated into information and observations that can drive autonomous action within Procore.

That connection between project data and jobsite reality is foundational to Procore’s AI strategy as it evolves from the system of collaboration and record to the system of intelligence for construction. DroneDeploy provides perception through three-dimensional ground and aerial imaging, spanning drones, ground-deployed robots, and mobile, fixed, and wearable cameras. Together with Procore AI, we will create the ability to see, understand, and act within Procore—allowing construction teams to automatically document observations, identify issues earlier, and take actions to improve how projects get built. This new layer of visual intelligence is the next step in Procore’s AI journey.

"I am very excited to bring DroneDeploy’s outstanding team, technology and track record of customer success to Procore,” said Ajei Gopal, President and CEO of Procore. “Once the acquisition closes, we plan to immediately cross-sell DroneDeploy’s solutions into our broader customer base and vice versa. For the longer term, adding DroneDeploy’s technology into the Procore platform will enable us to accelerate our AI strategy and deliver digital coworkers that track what's happening on a project, make sense of it, and then take action to change the outcome.”

"DroneDeploy was built to give people who build, power, and feed our world a source of truth about the physical site. Over the last decade, our customers have consistently told us the same thing—they want reality capture to be a native part of how they work, not another tool bolted on,” said Mike Winn, CEO of DroneDeploy. “Joining Procore accelerates that mission. Going forward, we remain committed to delivering the best ground and aerial reality capture solutions—deeply integrated into Procore to drive automated action—while building on our early investments in AI and robotics. We're excited to build what's next together."

By pairing DroneDeploy’s technology with Procore, manual jobsite inspections and observations will be replaced by multi-modal perception capabilities. A range of cameras, drones, and robots will regularly evaluate the construction site and automatically initiate appropriate responses securely, compliantly, and in context. Amid the acute labor shortage in the construction industry, this practical automation helps support overscheduled field teams.

Once completed, the transaction will bring together two extensive, domain-specific datasets: Procore's record of construction decision-making—encompassing nearly 400 million photos, over 126 million drawings, and over 10 million RFIs, submittals, and inspections in the last year alone—and DroneDeploy's visual record of physical builds, spanning approximately 20 trillion square feet of visual data for the built world, tens of millions of user-generated annotations, and more than 100,000 labeled safety issues. Access to the right data separates a proof-of-concept from a mission-critical AI offering.

In the future, Procore will incorporate a seamless integration of capabilities purpose-built for construction: real-time perception, advanced reasoning, and a secure, collaborative, and auditable platform where actions are taken. Such a system will enable Procore to deliver digital coworkers for the field and the back office, saving both time and money.

The transaction is expected to close later this year, subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of required regulatory approvals. Procore’s financial outlook issued today represents its organic business, and does not reflect contributions that may come from DroneDeploy.

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC is serving as the exclusive financial advisor to Procore on the transaction, and Citi is serving as financial advisor to DroneDeploy.
