All Blog Articles

From revolutionizing the productivity and efficiency of field operations, to seamlessly integrating with existing GIS systems, mobile technology is reshaping the geospatial landscape. The hosts of our recent webinar, ‘How Mobile Technology is Changing the Geospatial Game’, dove deep into this dynamic and evolving topic.  

Here are the top 5 takeaways from the session that you need to know: 

1. Revolutionizing Field Operations with Mobile Technology 

Mobile technology is turning the geospatial game on its head by drastically transforming field operations. With capabilities such as real-time field data collection and verification, and consolidated data sources, mobile tech increases the efficiency of field service crews while delivering customizable applications that suit specific business needs. 

2. Overcoming Challenges with Traditional Maps and Web Applications 

Traditional paper maps and legacy web applications both come with limitations that include obsolete data, information overload, accuracy issues, and dependency on stable internet connections. These hindrances impede efficient field operations and decision-making. Mobile technology provides an effective solution to overcome these challenges. 

3. Success Stories: The Transformative Impact of Mobile GIS Solutions 

Testimonials from customers like Roseburg Resources, Stadtwerke Jena, and Caltrap illustrate the transformative power mobile GIS solutions offer in real world situations. They show how mobile applications can standardize reporting, boost data accuracy, enhance decision-making, and streamline field operations. 

4. VertiGIS Studio Mobile: Customized Applications for Field Workers 

VertiGIS Studio Mobile enables organizations to create fantastic applications that can be accessed and used on a mobile device from anywhere.  With offline access, real-time data sharing, and user-guided interfaces, productivity, accuracy, and usability for field employees are significantly enhanced, leading to quicker decision-making and improved operational efficiency. Finally, the value of an organization’s spatial data and the problems it can solve is not limited to the walls of an office. 

5. Live Demonstrations: The Real-World Application of Mobile GIS 

Our live demos showcased the practical use of mobile GIS applications in the field for tasks such as inspecting utility poles, updating maintenance work orders, and conducting environmental surveys. The demonstrations highlighted guided user interactions, offline data access for remote areas, and seamless data synchronization with central databases, illustrating the tangible value and convenience of mobile GIS solutions in actual field operations.
