The problem
Covering projects that cover tens or hundreds of thousands of parcels brings considerable operational challenges.
Field teams often traverse tens of thousands of parcels across isolated regions with little to no mobile coverage.
Our solution
An integrated platform tailored to large-scale mapping, data collection and processing.
Our field-tested software enables consistent and compliant land mapping and processing by eliminating operational challenges and speeding up the process.
We offer a working solution, including a software licence, setup and configuration, and a training and support package.
It performs under the most rugged conditions in the most remote regions.
