What is AiDash?
AiDASH is an enterprise SaaS company that provides satellite-first AI applications for remote inspection and monitoring of critical infrastructure. The platform uses satellite analytics and AI to monitor geographically distributed assets at scale, helping core industries including electric utilities, gas utilities, energy, water and wastewater, transportation, and mining become climate resilient and better prepared for the energy transition.
The company offers four main products: Intelligent Vegetation Management System (IVMS) for utility vegetation management, Biodiversity Net Gain Management System (BNG AI) for biodiversity and carbon programs, Integrity and Encroachment Management System (IEMS) for pipeline surveying, and Climate Risk Intelligence System (CRIS) for weathering storms and wildfires. IVMS helps utilities find vegetation risks in real time, optimize cycle trimming, inspect transmission rights-of-way, and mitigate current and future risks including wildfire classification.
AiDASH serves 185+ customers across 50 U.S. states and 5 continents, including 135+ utilities of every size. The platform delivers measurable outcomes: 10% improvement in grid reliability, 20% lower vegetation management expenses, and 70-90% reduction in land and air sustainability costs. Customers realize ROI within the first year of deployment.

Pricing model: Freemium
AiDASH does not publish public pricing on its website. The company requires interested customers to get a demo by talking to an AiDASH product expert who discusses pricing, implementation, and how the platform can help. The service is enterprise-focused, serving 185+ companies including 135+ utilities. One alternative source indicates pricing starts from $3/month with a free forever plan, but this is not confirmed on the official AiDASH website. All customers realize ROI within the year of deployment.

Frequently asked questions about AiDash
What is AiDASH?
AiDASH is an enterprise SaaS company that provides satellite-first AI applications for remote inspection and monitoring of critical infrastructure. The platform uses satellite analytics and AI to monitor geographically distributed assets at scale, helping core industries including electric utilities, gas utilities, energy, water and wastewater, transportation, and mining become climate resilient and better prepared for the energy transition.
What data inputs does CRIS use?
CRIS (Climate Risk Intelligence System) fuses satellite imagery, real-time weather data, vegetation data, and historic outage and resource usage data. Specific inputs include historical weather data from the service area, historical outage data from the utility (up to 10 years), current utility company asset data, live weather feed refreshed four times daily at six-hour intervals, vegetation data from AiDASH's satellite imagery, LiDAR data, and miscellaneous data that utilities wish to provide.
What is the Intelligent Vegetation Management System (IVMS)?
IVMS is AiDASH's flagship product for utility vegetation management. With satellite data, ground truth, historical data, and pre-trained AI models, IVMS helps utilities plan, optimize, and execute vegetation management. It finds vegetation risks in real time before they damage the grid, optimizes vegetation management programs years in advance, increases efficiency of pre- and post-trim inspections, calculates natural prune cycles at circuit levels, and detects wildfire risk areas.
How many customers use AiDASH?
Globally, over 185 companies of every size use AiDASH products across 50 U.S. states and 5 continents. More than 135 utilities of every size use AiDASH products specifically, and the platform monitors 1 million+ miles of transmission and distribution lines while processing 3 million+ miles through its AI engine.
What outcomes can utilities expect from AiDASH?
AiDASH delivers measurable outcomes including 10% improvement in grid reliability, 20% lower vegetation management expenses, and 70-90% reduction in land and air sustainability costs. Customers realize ROI in the year of deployment. National Grid unlocked millions in efficiencies saving over $5 million per year and decreased routine maintenance line miles by 16%. Entergy achieved its lowest vegetation customer interruption levels in history.
What industries does AiDASH serve?
AiDASH serves core industries with geographically distributed assets including electric utilities, gas utilities, energy, water and wastewater, transportation, and mining. The company's focus is on helping these critical infrastructure industries become climate resilient and better prepared for the energy transition using satellites and AI.
How does AiDASH help with storm and wildfire preparedness?
AiDASH's Climate Risk Intelligence System (CRIS) helps utilities predict storm and wildfire incidents before storms hit. It uses real-time weather data and span-level vegetation data to mitigate risks, predicts outages to support critical decision-making, and allows utilities to safely assess damage remotely to prioritize responses. The system helps harden the grid against storms and wildfires and restore faster after events.
What is the Biodiversity Net Gain Management System (BNG AI)?
BNG AI is AiDASH's product that enables organizations to manage their own biodiversity and carbon programs. It uses satellite analytics to support sustainability initiatives with accurate results metrics, helping companies achieve their biodiversity net gain goals and transform sustainability initiatives.
Does AiDASH have a mobile app?
Yes, AiDASH offers IVMS 2.0 as a mobile app on Google Play for ground personnel and their managers. The app allows workers to identify, log, plan, and execute work on vegetation risks around assets. Work for all vegetation risks such as danger trees, hazard trees, tree trims, vine trims, and TR application can be organized, prioritized, and carried out through the mobile app.
When was AiDASH founded and who founded it?
AiDASH was founded in 2019 by serial entrepreneurs Abhishek Vinod Singh (CEO), Rick Juneja (Chief Customer Officer), and two other entrepreneurs. They saw that satellites and AI could transform remote monitoring of geographically distributed assets and identified electric utilities' critical need for more effective vegetation management. The company has since expanded to serve all core industries and now has 201-500 employees with headquarters in Santa Clara, California.
