About Skape
Skape provides B2B professionals with presentational 3D city and mapping data as well as high accuracy building data.
In order to help us give you the best possible service, we commissioned over 80 interviews with organisations using geo-information products (2D or 3D). These included:
- Architects
- Consultants
- Local Authorities
- Regional Development Agencies
- Civil Engineers
- Commercial Developers
- Visualisation designers
The results of these interviews were then analysed and used by our team in the ongoing development of Skape. This is central to the proactive partnership approach we take with everything we do.
Accurate, easy to use and excellent value
Skape is accurate, easy-to-use and excellent value. We offer instant delivery of high quality, accurate aerial imagery, height data and Ordnance Survey mapping that makes geospatial information even more accessible to you at the best possible price.
And we aim to be the first company to launch interactive textured 3D city models of the top 15 UK cities - online. Over the coming months, Skape will be rolled out to Birmingham, Brighton, Bristol, Bournemouth, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Newcastle, Nottingham, Sheffield and Southampton. Because it's our home city, we've selected Leicester to showcase Skape for our Alpha launch.
Skape is an opportunity to capitalise on a growing market
The world of 3D city virtual environments has progressed rapidly in B2B markets over the last two years. B2B professionals are quickly seeing the benefits of visualising complex data in 3D, and are changing the way their designs are presented and experienced. Much of this demand is client-led, as clients increasingly expect more than the traditional sketches and the like.
Skape directly addresses any pre-existing concerns about ease-of-use and value for money to provide you with a valuable, cost-effective way to capitalise on this growing market.
Our specially commissioned research clearly demonstrates that use of geo-information products is increasing all the time. Of the 80 + users of geo-information products we questioned:
- 39% say their use of geo-information products has grown in the past 12 months
- 34% say their use of geo-information products will grow in the next 12 months
Why 3D modelling is becoming the norm
At Skape, we know that 3D city modelling is rapidly becoming the norm for many industries. The growth in the use of 3D modelling is a direct result of ongoing improvements in data and technology. The amount and quality of information available to you is increasing all the time. And the tools to manipulate the information have become more powerful and user friendly.
We've designed Skape to give you the full benefits of these exciting developments in an easy-to-use and cost-effective way.
Making it easy to assess change in 3D rather than 2D
You'll soon discover how Skape makes it easy to assess change in 3D city modelling rather than 2D. Our service also gives you the potential of doing animations. Skape will really help bring your work to life, for you and your clients.
Skape helps make your working practices more efficient too. Our satellite imagery allows you to check out a site without having to go there.
How Skape helps keep your clients happy
At Skape we know how important it is for you to keep your clients happy. We are fully aware that clients are depending more and more on 3D city modelling. This is now seen as the industry norm- and submitting sketches and the like just won't cut it anymore. With Skape you'll be able to solve this problem, and keep even the most demanding clients happy.
