Safer. Cheaper.
Nobody walks the paddock with a backpack or drives a rig into wet ground. A licensed local operator flies it, at a price you see before anyone leaves the shed.
A paddock on one side.
A licensed operator on the other.
Tell us the block, the product and the window. The licensed operators who cover your region see the enquiry, quote their own price, and contract with you direct. Fly already, and those enquiries come to you first.
Drones, planes and helicopters. Tell us the job and we match it to a licensed operator with the right aircraft.

Drones, planes and helicopters.
skysolutionX is Australia's marketplace for commercial aerial services. It connects licensed fixed-wing, helicopter and drone operators with customers who need spraying, mapping or monitoring at a defined time and location. Operators list their service types and coverage; customers post requirements that are pushed to operators in the relevant region, so supply and demand can be matched and the customer contracts with the operator direct.
Drones
Spraying, seeding and spreading, survey and mapping, scouting and inspection.
Fixed-wing aircraft
Spraying, spreading and seeding over large areas, and baiting on flat country.
Helicopters
Spraying, mustering, baiting and cherry drying.
A paddock that needs covering, and a licensed operator who can cover it. We put the two in front of each other. Nothing more.
Four things you get before anyone drives to your place.
The operator sends you a written quote: a rate per hectare, travel stated separately, and the minimum job charge if your block is under it. You see the number first. Nothing starts until you accept it.
We check the licences and the insurance certificates before an operator can take enquiries in your region. Remote pilot licence, the operator certificate with the aircraft listed, the chemical licences for your state, and public liability that covers chemical drift.
Coverage map, the volume that actually went out, the wind and temperature at the time, the product and the batch. It is formatted for your spray diary and it is yours to keep, send on, or hand to an auditor.
You take on the operator and you pay the operator. We never hold your money and we never take a cut of it from you. We bill the operator our fee once a month, separately, and it does not sit between you and them.
Run a spray drone business?
Enquiries from your region come to you first. You set your own price and the grower pays you direct.
One job, two views.
The same five steps, from each side of the fence.
The grower
You post the block. Boundary, crop, area, the product and the window you are working to. A dropped pin and a photo of the label is enough.
You see an indicative range straight away. It is a guide, not a quote.
You see the licences, the insurance and the price before you see a name. You accept the quote you want, or none of them.
You take on the operator direct and the work is booked. The agreement is between the two of you, not with us.
You get the job record: the coverage map, the volumes, the conditions and the product. If the window closes, the job reschedules at no charge.
The operator
The enquiry lands with you first if it is in your region. Scope, area, crop, window and the guide range. You look at it and decide.
You quote your own price. The guide range is a reference, not a ceiling and not a floor. Travel from your base is stated separately.
Your credentials go to the grower before your name does. You are free to decline, and declining costs you nothing.
The agreement is between you and the grower. They pay you direct, on your own terms. We never touch that money.
You upload the logs within 48 h. Once a month we bill you our fee: 20% on jobs we sent you, 2% on jobs you brought in yourself.
The operator is the operator in command and makes the go/no-go call on the day. We do not make that call and we never override it.
Three regions first. Three states live.
We are live in New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland, and we are starting in three places where the work repeats and the licensing is clear.

The same standard on every recorded job.
For growers
- Licences and insurance checked before an operator can take enquiries in your region
- Drift control and label compliance on every job
- A job record on every job, and a written dispute path
For operators
- A service menu and a quote format you follow
- A pre-job checklist: weather, buffer zones, label, licences
- Chemical handling to the label and your state’s law, PPE, drift control
- Logs within 48 h and a post-job report
If an operator does not follow it, we suspend their access to the platform. We never touch the aircraft, and never mid-job.
