GIS

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) can mean different things to different people, but to us, it’s about more than just mapping. GIS is a powerful tool that brings together data sources, transforms it, and presents it in ways that improve understanding, decision-making, and engagement.

At the heart of our GIS offering is a combination of two essential technologies: Feature Manipulation Engine (FME) and the ArcGIS suite. FME enables us to extract and integrate data from a wide range of sources, ensuring that it’s clean, validated, and transformed into something truly ‘fit for purpose’. The ArcGIS suite allows us to take that data and deliver high-quality outputs – including detailed printed maps, interactive web maps, dynamic data dashboards, engaging StoryMaps and more.

In today’s data-driven world, having the right information at the right time is crucial. GIS allows us to distil complex spatial data into clear, actionable insights, helping businesses, communities, and governments make more informed decisions. Whether it’s visualising environmental trends, managing assets, tracking progress on projects, or improving community engagement, GIS is central to unlocking the full potential of your data.

We believe GIS should always be used with a clear purpose – to make processes more efficient, robust, and meaningful. It’s not just about technology for technology’s sake, but about making things easier, trustworthy, and impactful for the end user. From creating real-time field data capture systems to developing interactive dashboards that engage users, our GIS services provide tools to transform raw data into a valuable resource.

The benefits of this include:
Enhanced decision-making: Access to accurate, up-to-date spatial data empowers you to make well-informed, data-driven decisions.
Improved efficiency: Automate data integration, analysis, and reporting – saving time and resources while improving accuracy.
Better collaboration: Output apps from ArcGIS make it easier to share data and insights – helping to engage stakeholders and encourage collaboration across teams/organisations.
Real-time insights: With real-time field data capture and live dashboards, you can track progress, monitor conditions, and respond swiftly to changes.
Increased data accuracy: GIS helps identify trends and outliers, ensuring that your data is validated and aligned with your objectives.
Clear communication: Transform complex data into easy-to-understand, more visual formats – making it simpler to communicate findings and recommendations.
Customised solutions: Our GIS services are tailored to your specific needs, ensuring that your outputs are relevant and meet the unique challenges of your project or organisation.
Long-term sustainability: By building robust, scalable GIS systems, we help future-proof your data management and decision-making processes.

Whether you need simple maps or sophisticated data analysis, our GIS solutions provide the clarity and confidence you need to navigate the complexities of the modern world. If you have deliverables that could benefit from our input, please reach out to Kyle Dow, our GIS Services Manager.
