| Spottitt leverages A.I. and access to the images from more than 200 satellites to offer satellite analytics that unlocks low-cost maintenance and operations for transmission and distribution utilities.Problem We live in a world where critical assets e.g. transportation and communication infrastructure, is in constant danger while governments andconsumers are expecting rising levels of security, reliability and performance. Despite the fact that more than 80% of asset failures are due to external factors including climate change-induced weather, less than 10% of assets are digitally inspected once a year or more because of recurring associated costs yet incurring even higher costs when disrupted. This is a core barrier to asset managers' and owners' towards digitalization and predictive maintenanceSolution Spottitt is the solution to monitor the external environment around critical assets, at scale in real time. Organizations use Spottitt throughout an asset's lifecycle to maximise their performance. Our platform automatically transforms the widest variety of satellite and other geospatial data into a stream of metrics to monitor 90% of the causes of asset failure with high accuracy. Our clients enjoy attractive pricing without the need to spend on in-situ operators or sensors.Market Opportunities The Geospatial Analytics market is worth $61B in 2021 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 13.1% over the next 10 years. Spottitt’s current market focus is the $11.4B utility market segment, where the main growth drivers are ageing assets and climate change, digitalization for improved asset performance, safety and reliabilityRevenue Model and Traction A transparent pay-per-km2, subscription is in development.
