Bentley Systems has expanded its asset analytics capabilities through the strategic acquisitions of Talon Aerolytics and the technology assets and expertise of Pointivo. The move reinforces Bentley’s long-term strategy of advancing digital twin–driven infrastructure intelligence using artificial intelligence and automated analytics.
The acquisition of Talon Aerolytics enhances Bentley’s ability to support large-scale asset inspection, survey and lifecycle management workflows. Talon’s platform is designed to automate recurring inspection processes, enabling infrastructure owners and operators to capture, analyse and manage asset data more efficiently. Its no-code workflow environment and collaborative digital twin framework help reduce manual effort while improving consistency and visibility across distributed asset networks.
Pointivo’s technology adds advanced capabilities in drone-based data processing and AI-powered analytics. The platform specialises in transforming large volumes of unstructured visual and spatial data into accurate, geolocated insights that support condition assessment and damage detection. By integrating these capabilities into Bentley’s ecosystem, asset owners can gain deeper intelligence from aerial imagery and spatial datasets, improving their ability to identify risks early and prioritise maintenance actions.
Together, the combined technologies strengthen Bentley’s asset analytics portfolio across industries such as telecommunications, utilities, transportation and energy. The expanded offering supports continuous inspection and monitoring of critical infrastructure, helping organisations manage increasingly complex networks while maintaining safety, reliability and operational performance. These capabilities are particularly relevant as infrastructure operators respond to challenges such as network densification, grid modernisation and the growing demand for resilient, data-driven operations.
The acquisitions align with Bentley’s broader focus on infrastructure digital twins as the foundation for predictive analytics and informed decision-making. By combining automation, artificial intelligence and scalable analytics, Bentley aims to help asset owners move beyond reactive maintenance toward more proactive and predictive asset management strategies.
With the addition of Talon Aerolytics and Pointivo technology, Bentley Systems positions itself to deliver more comprehensive, AI-enabled asset intelligence solutions, supporting infrastructure owners as they seek greater efficiency, reduced lifecycle costs and improved performance across critical assets worldwide.
