Frontier Precision, an employee-owned company, was founded in 1988 in Bismarck, North Dakota, and has since expanded to 17 offices across the US. The company provides solutions and consulting services to various industries, including surveyors, GIS technicians, engineers, contractors, and law enforcement. In recent years, Frontier Precision has expanded into new markets, including agricultural, construction, and unmanned (UAS) divisions.
The company has also explored the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in its operations, particularly in data management. AI is being used to automate the processing of large volumes of data, such as LIDAR data, to reduce the need for manual handling. The company has also noted the growing trend of integration between GIS and land surveying, with the two fields requiring increased collaboration and education for surveyors and GIS professionals.
Despite the emphasis on technology, Frontier Precision still values personal service, emphasizing the importance of one-on-one contact with customers. The company believes that personal relationships built over the years have been crucial to its success and will continue to prioritize this aspect of its business.
