VITO Remote Sensing provides a processing platform for satellite data, allowing their community of Earth Observation experts to develop many interesting services that contribute across multiple industries on both a local and global scale.
Although VITO’s services provide a lot of added value to their clients, they lacked an easy way to increase their visibility. VITO wanted an online marketplace that would allow them to advertise services to a wider audience, helping the general public. They contracted Cyrex’s team to develop the perfect Remote Sensing Marketplace Platform.
Development
This extensive Marketplace with monetisation was built by Cyrex on top of their proprietary API Suite product framework, with a full open-source contribution. Using this project, VITO were successful in creating the perfect services offering, widening their reach with the general public by including resourceful features such as billing and reporting.
Results
The Terrascope Marketplace allows you to share an algorithm or workflow that you developed with the user community. It takes away the IT aspects of publishing a service so that you can entirely focus on the algorithm’s development. Publishing your algorithm as a service will give it greater visibility and expose it to a larger audience that can give feedback.
The Marketplace relies on standardized web interfaces, so users can access a service in an easy manner. A visual description of a service is published, to give an attractive overview of the capabilities.
Testimonial
“At VITO Remote Sensing, we love earth observation! By providing a processing platform for satellite data, we allow our community of Earth Observation experts to develop many interesting services that contribute across multiple industries on both a local and global scale. Although these services provide a lot of added value, we were lacking an easy way to increase their visibility.
By combining Cyrex’s expert knowledge of marketplaces and our expertise in earth observation, we have created a beautiful online marketplace where we can start advertising our services to the general public. During this project, Cyrex assisted us in tackling some of our biggest challenges, which resulted in extending our online service offering with features such as billing and reporting.”
