Why teams hand monitoring to us

The outcomes our customers come back for

Our monitoring services exist to give your team back its time, decrease risk, and drive transparency across your portfolio.

Less time monitoring

Don't carry the weight of constant monitoring. Our team performs the analysis so you don't have to staff up or slow down.

Risk reduction & early detection

Lens runs continuously in the background for early, accurate detection of landscape changes. We catch risks before they become liabilities.

Reduced costs & increased ROI

A fraction of the cost of field monitoring — with better coverage. Lens lets you monitor more land for less, so expensive field visits are reserved for only the moments that need boots on the ground.

Transparency with continuous oversight

Every change is documented, located, and explained. We provide the insights so you can report with confidence and back every commitment with evidence.

Ways to work with us

Custom monitoring programs built around your work

Every engagement is scoped to your land, your team, and the decisions you need to make. A few of the shapes our programs take:

Recurring monitoring & reporting

Consistent coverage. Actionable visibility.

Establish a monitoring program tailored to your sites, priorities, and operational cadence. Whether you need support for annual compliance reporting, portfolio-wide risk screening, or ongoing land stewardship, Upstream Tech delivers recurring monitoring and clear reporting so your team can stay focused on decision-making instead of coordinating data collection and review.

Custom agentic monitoring

AI-powered monitoring configured for your workflows.

Work with our team to deploy a customized monitoring agent tuned to your land, assets, risk profile, and operational priorities. From identifying specific change types to surfacing the highest-priority issues across large portfolios, we help automate monitoring workflows while keeping humans focused on the decisions that matter most.

One-time projects

Targeted support for a specific monitoring need.

Need remote sensing expertise for a discrete project or short-term initiative? Upstream Tech can support diligence efforts, landscape analyses, environmental studies, historical change assessments, and other scoped engagements without requiring your team to build in-house monitoring capacity.

Custom engagements

Not seeing what you need? Let's scope it together.

Many of our partnerships start with a unique monitoring challenge that. Whether you are exploring a new use case, integrating remote sensing into an existing program, or combining monitoring with analysis and reporting support, our team can work with you to design a customized scope tailored to your goals, timeline, and budget.

Lens and Upstream Tech staff are a critical tool for our Family Forest Carbon Program. Their data, people, and platforms helped us identify changes across hundreds of small landowner properties so we can support our landowners and accurately account for forest carbon changes.
