Why Choose Fagerman Technologies?

We are an aggressive team of pioneers in geomatics searching for new, innovative, and affordable solutions.  We build economical mobile mapping systems, that push technology to the edge using the latest tools for scanning, imaging, and navigation.  Jeff Fagerman founded Fagerman Technologies and LiDARUSA in 1999.

​We are provide solutions for GIS, surveying, civil engineering, agriculture, forensics, BIM, heritage mapping — all things 3D and beyond. We develop solutions for indoors and outdoors. The key technologist and principal investigators are Daniel and Jeff Fagerman (son and father, respectively). Both are graduates of Purdue University with Master’s degrees from the School of Civil Engineering. Jeff is a PLS #22408 in Alabama and Daniel is an EIT. Photogrammetry has long been a specialty of ours, particularly regarding the cutting edge technology for photo triangulation. Of course, we have done land surveying and photo control work with conventional total stations, levels, etc., and also with the latest GPS technology. We consider software development a particular interest and hardware integration something we excel at. We seek out ways to improve workflows using existing technology in an unconventional way. Recent focus for our company has been on ground—based LIDAR with particular emphasis on building an economical mobile mapping system, ScanLook. ScanLook has fully involved both Daniel and Jeff as they have pushed technology to the edge using the latest tools for scanning, imaging, and navigation.

It's about YOU!

We focus on your problem by listening to you. We don't offer just one system - we offer a system built for you. Tell us your application market, your requirements, and generally what you want and we'll build a system specifically for you. This is the bonus of being a small, dynamic, customer driven business. You have our attention.

Customer Support

No business with thousands of customers can survive and profit if they are consumed by customer support issues. We are keenly aware of this from our other company selling medical software. Our products are designed to be easy to manufacturer, maintain, train, and support.

Our Design Ideas

We are often asked where we get our design ideas. We get these from on-hands, real-world experience with our existing systems. There is nothing like using the system for real projects to drive improvements. When we started mobile LIDAR in 2010 all of the systems were very big except MDL.  We quickly set about building a smaller system with much more functionality. Years later we are still doing the same thing - making it smaller, lighter, and more affordable. We also know that with today's technology it is not quite possible to make one tool do everything and still be small, light, and affordable - so we have our pre-defined packages and custom packages as well.

Decades of Experience

Our team at LIDAR USA brings a sharply focused group of individuals together, allowing us to stay abreast of the latest technologies, to rapidly transition from R&D to field ready products that enable our customers to do their jobs quicker, more efficiently, and at an increased profit.

Of course, having a lifetime interest in our particular fields of study is a major bonus as well whether it is software, engineering, or surveying. It is safe to say our people love their jobs and that is absolutely necessary to develop a good product.

Best Value

Our prices are more than competitive. All of the major manufacturers products with similar functionality are typically 1.5 to 5 times more costly to purchase. Even more, their products are set in stone with very little configuration and customization possible. Of course, there's also the unspoken cost - very high yearly fees.
