Aerometrex Signs Four MetroMap Partners as Landchecker Deal Hits Uncapped Revenue

By John Zadeh -

Aerometrex expands MetroMap Partner Program with four new industry partnerships

Aerometrex (ASX: AMX) has signed four new partners to its MetroMap Partner Program, spanning solar, property intelligence, urban canopy management and environmental due diligence. The announcement positions MetroMap as the embedded aerial intelligence layer across Australia’s most data-reliant industries. Critically, the company’s existing Landchecker partnership has now exceeded its minimum licence threshold of $1.5 million per year, triggering uncapped upside revenue for the remainder of the contract term.

The partner model creates recurring revenue that scales with partner platform growth without proportional cost increases for Aerometrex. Landchecker exceeding its minimum threshold validates this commercial structure in practice, demonstrating that as partner platforms expand their user bases, MetroMap licence usage — and revenue — grows automatically.

How the MetroMap Partner Program works

The partner distribution model embeds MetroMap imagery and data directly into third-party platforms used by industry professionals. This allows Aerometrex to extend its market reach beyond what direct sales could achieve by leveraging partners’ established user bases.

The commercial mechanics work as follows:

  1. Embed: MetroMap is integrated into a partner’s core platform
  2. Partner grows: As the partner platform scales its user base, MetroMap usage increases automatically
  3. Revenue grows: Licence revenue compounds alongside partner growth, with minimal incremental delivery cost to Aerometrex

This contrasts with traditional direct sales models by creating a low-friction, scalable distribution channel. Revenue compounds as partner platforms scale, without requiring Aerometrex to build parallel sales infrastructure for each vertical.

Landchecker triggers uncapped revenue upside

The Landchecker agreement, announced on 27 June 2025, was structured with a minimum contracted amount of $1.5 million per year over two years for a fixed number of licences, with an option for a further two years. Landchecker has now exceeded that minimum licence threshold.

The upside mechanism works as follows: additional licences are acquired at an agreed price per licence, with no cap on volume. This means revenue from the Landchecker agreement will continue to grow in direct proportion to Landchecker’s own platform expansion.

Rob Veitch, Managing Director and CEO

“This is the partner model working exactly as intended. As Landchecker has grown, their customers have grown, and our revenue grows with them.”

Landchecker provides proof of concept for the partner model at scale. The uncapped upside means revenue from this single agreement can now grow in proportion to Landchecker’s platform expansion, without Aerometrex needing to renegotiate contract terms.

Four new partners across solar, property and environment

Aerometrex has welcomed four new partners to the MetroMap Partner Program, each representing a distinct use case for high-resolution aerial imagery across different industries.

OpenSolar is the world’s first free, end-to-end solar design and sales platform. Used by more than 28,000 solar professionals globally, OpenSolar integrates MetroMap for rooftop solar system design, shading analysis and site assessment. Every new system designed on the platform represents a MetroMap data touchpoint.

InCanopy uses MetroMap aerial imagery and LiDAR data for its Tree Ledger platform, tracking urban tree canopy cover for city planners and government authorities. The use case has growing relevance as urban heat and green infrastructure policy accelerates across Australian cities.

Lotsearch integrates MetroMap imagery into environmental due diligence reports used by lawyers, conveyancers and environmental consultants. Every property transaction moving through the Lotsearch platform carries MetroMap data with it.

Propedia embeds MetroMap imagery within its property transaction analytics platform for valuers and real estate agents, bringing MetroMap into the Australian property market at scale.

Partner Industry Use Case Scale Indicator
OpenSolar Solar Rooftop design, shading analysis 28,000+ users globally
InCanopy Urban planning Tree canopy tracking Government/council clients
Lotsearch Environmental Due diligence reports Property transaction volume
Propedia Property Transaction analytics Valuers, agents

The diversity of industries reduces single-sector concentration risk. Each partner brings an established user base, creating multiple parallel growth channels for MetroMap licence revenue.

Why breadth matters for the investment case

MetroMap is becoming a common visual layer across solar, property, environment and urban planning. The strategic significance lies in the breadth — embedding MetroMap across multiple high-growth industries creates compounding distribution channels that operate independently of each other.

The company continues to evaluate further partnerships across additional industries and geographies. The MetroMap Partner Program is expected to be a material driver of annual contract value (ACV) and revenue growth into FY26 and beyond.

Rob Veitch, Managing Director and CEO

“The breadth of industries now represented in our partner program is a real strength. Solar, Property, environment, urban planning — MetroMap is becoming the common visual layer across all of them. This isn’t a one-off result, it’s the model compounding.”

What this means for Aerometrex investors

The strategic architecture is straightforward: each partner embeds MetroMap into their core product; each partner grows their user base; growth translates to incremental licence revenue without proportional cost increases. This is a distribution model that becomes more powerful with every partner added and every platform that scales.

The Landchecker agreement provides validation that the model works at scale. The company’s existing partner exceeding its minimum threshold demonstrates proof of concept, whilst the addition of four new partners across distinct industry verticals shows the forward growth pipeline is active.

The partner model is structurally designed to compound. As partner platforms scale their user bases, MetroMap licence usage — and revenue — grows automatically, creating a low-friction expansion mechanism that extends market reach beyond what direct sales could achieve alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Aerometrex MetroMap Partner Program?

The MetroMap Partner Program is Aerometrex's distribution model that embeds its aerial imagery and data directly into third-party industry platforms, allowing partners' existing user bases to generate MetroMap licence revenue automatically as those platforms grow.

Which four new partners has Aerometrex signed to the MetroMap Partner Program?

Aerometrex has signed OpenSolar (solar design with 28,000+ global users), InCanopy (urban tree canopy tracking), Lotsearch (environmental due diligence reports) and Propedia (property transaction analytics) as new MetroMap partners.

What does it mean that Landchecker has exceeded its minimum licence threshold?

Landchecker's agreement with Aerometrex included a minimum contracted amount of $1.5 million per year for a fixed number of licences; by exceeding this threshold, any additional licences are now acquired at an agreed per-licence price with no volume cap, meaning Aerometrex's revenue from this deal can grow without limit for the remainder of the contract.

How does Aerometrex generate revenue through its partner model?

Aerometrex earns licence revenue each time a partner's platform user accesses MetroMap data; as partner platforms grow their user bases, licence usage increases automatically, allowing Aerometrex to scale revenue without building separate sales infrastructure for each industry vertical.

What industries does the MetroMap Partner Program now cover?

Following this announcement, the MetroMap Partner Program spans solar energy design, urban canopy management, environmental due diligence, property transaction analytics and the property intelligence sector through the existing Landchecker partnership.
