From challenges in the field to smart positioning software

Your specific work calls for software that fits seamlessly with your day-to-day practice. That is why we develop positioning software that fits your work, processes and specific challenges. From the first inventory to implementation, we work together on a solution that works in practice.

Step 1
Assess
We map your work, wishes and bottlenecks to determine exactly what the software needs to solve. This gives a clear basis for a solution that fits your processes and goals.Outcome: a clear overview of requirements and goals.
Step 2
Design
Based on the inventory, we work out the required functionality and the structure of the software. The result is a concrete design that fits your processes and serves as the basis for development.Outcome: design and planning for approval.
Step 3
Develop
The design is turned into working custom software, with the functionality that fits your work. During development we test and refine the software so it performs reliably in practice.Outcome: a tested, working app.
Step 4
Deliver
The software is put into use and integrated into your existing way of working and systems. Your organisation then has a practical solution that contributes directly to more efficient work and reliable results.Outcome: custom software that fits your workflow exactly.

Benefits of custom software

Save time

With custom software your staff record survey data digitally on the spot, tailored to the work and with all the information your workflows need. Unnecessary steps disappear and data is available straight away for further processing.

  • Less manual entry
  • No unnecessary intermediate steps
  • Survey data available straight away

Work more efficiently

Custom software fits your workflows and processes geodata straight into the formats and systems you use. Your team works one way, and you see progress immediately.

  • Software tailored to your workflows
  • Instant insight into progress
  • Integration with your own systems

Improve quality

By tailoring input fields, pick lists and checks to your workflow, every staff member records data the same way. You get complete, consistent and reliable data.

  • Consistent recording
  • Checks on mandatory data
  • Option to add photos to objects

Reduce failure costs

By recording data directly and correctly and checking it automatically, you prevent errors that lead to rework, delays or extra costs. This reduces the risk of problems in processing and carrying out your projects.

  • Fewer delays from incomplete records
  • Fewer rejected as-builts
  • Less risk of excavation damage thanks to reliable location data
