Kittyhawk Secures $3M Funding from Travelers
Kittyhawk, a supplier of enterprise drone operations software, has announced a strategic investment from The Travelers Companies, Inc.. The investment will help the company bring unified drone operations to new markets.
Travelers has been a pioneer in adopting the use of drones within the insurance industry. The company was one of the first to integrate drone operations into its claim inspections when it launched its drone program in 2016 and conducted its first large-scale deployment after Hurricane Matthew. Today, Travelers has nearly 600 dedicated Claim professionals that are FAA-certified drone pilots.
As the drone program has grown within Travelers, so too has the opportunity to leverage the data and the task of managing compliance and safety requirements. Kittyhawk has supported the growth of Travelers' drone operation by streamlining the data, hardware and software into one single system of record.

No longer do companies have to contend with a wide and ever-changing array of apps, license agreements, support procedures and data security concerns of having multiple vendors. Designed for drone operations that perform business-critical tasks, Kittyhawk makes it easier for companies to manage, track and fly drones safely and effectively.
