GIS Solutions

There are many ways in which GIS can improve your profitability, business processes, competitiveness, market share or customer satisfaction.  Companies that make effective use of GIS systems are able to reduce the cost of logistics, better understand their customer needs (and the cost of doing business with them) and manage the performance of key operational activities.  In some industries such as transport, forestry, utilities, logistics or engineering the relationship is very clear.  In others, such as insurance, retail or legal services the impact of geography can be less clear, but equally beneficial.

We understand that there are also a bewildering range of technologies and GIS systems available to help you make the changes you need to make to meet your business requirements.  The rate of change in technologies is getting faster all the time and data choices and data volumes continue to grow.  Our aim is to understand what you do, why and how you would like to improve your business and then to suggest the most relevant application of GIS to help you achieve your business goals.

Consultancy

We offer a comprehensive suite of GIS consultancy services that help you appraise, design and implement solutions that are targeted on your needs. As an independent consultancy, we provide impartial advice on technology and data options with informed views about what you will need to do to make the most of it.

So whether you need help with developing a business case, appraising technologies, improving data management, improving business processes, delivering business applications or getting more from your existing GIS investment, we can help transform your GIS use.

Hosted GIS

Businesses quite often do not have the time or resources to consider an in-house GIS implementation. Others that do may be struggling to keep apace with industry changes and the continual investment. Either way, we offer innovative hosted GIS services that provide you with a fully managed service that reduces the cost and complexity of doing it for yourself. Complemented by a suite of technical and support services, a hosted approach to GIS could provide you with a fast track approach to realising the business benefits from GIS at a reduced cost.
