Spike plays well with others
We believe that Spike’s measurement capability is even more impactful when it’s integrated into wider mobile workflow applications.
Partner Program
The Spike Partner Program enables leading software vendors to integrate with Spike’s mobile app, and bring Spike’s robust measurement and location technology to mobile field solutions. We offer several types of software integration, including APIs, SDKs, and XML. Contact us to learn more.
Contact UsIntegration Partners
Spike is seamlessly integrated with Esri’s Survey123 for ArcGIS mobile app, enabling any field user to capture photos and measurements with Spike and a Survey123 mobile form. Spike measurements and photos are automatically populated into the form, and stored as GIS attributes in a geodatabase
Spike is integrated with AutoCAD by Autodesk, bringing Spike’s Photo Measurements to your day-to-day design work with AutoCAD. Instead of manually entering measurements into your designs, you can measure while designing using Spike’s Scaled Imaged.
Hardware Partners
Spike is partnered with OtterBox, the No. 1-selling smartphone case brand in the U.S. Their uniVERSE Case System helps businesses go mobile by enabling you to protect your smartphone or tablet and easily interchange important hardware tools like thermal cameras, bar code scanners, and battery packs.
