Cansel to Distribute Microdrones Fully Integrated Drone Systems Throughout Canada


Vaudreuil-Dorion, QC Canada- Leading geospatial solutions provider, Cansel, signed an agreement to distribute Microdrones integrated systems. With 23 locations and a strong reputation dating back to 1966, Cansel is firmly positioned to help customers adopt drone technology for geospatial applications.

Martin Trudelle, Vice President of Geospatial Business for Cansel, explains “We were looking for a reliable and accurate UAV solution to expand our offering. We took a careful look at some existing customers who were already working with Microdrones. All were impressed by how fast, accurate and reliable the systems are- so we decided to make Microdrones systems available to all of our customers. The mdSolutions lineup from Microdrones meets the need of busy professionals who demand field to finish productivity.”

Phil Kern, Trimble Distributor Manager for Microdrones, added “Cansel is a highly respected leader, with a growing and dynamic organization. They work hard to offer a complete, end-to-end solution. Cansel is exactly the type of distributor that we want to have representing Microdrones.” 

For more than 50 years, Cansel has helped organizations in the engineering, surveying, construction, mining, architecture, manufacturing, printing, utilities, forestry, and government sectors. Cansel's national team of professionals combine software, hardware and services to improve workflow. According to Trudelle, “The mdSolutions lineup from Microdrones will provide a huge benefit and cost savings to our clients in the field. Take the mdMapper1000DG system, as an example. It uses direct georeferencing to improve processing workflow. Plus, Microdrones systems are compliant with Transport Canada; that makes it easy to apply for a Special Flight Operations Certificate.”
