GIS Strategy

We can assist you to define the direction of your GIS strategy. Our depth and breadth of experience in all aspects of GIS data and systems development, implementation and use allow us to see the 'big picture'. We can assist you in:

• Getting the most out of either your existing GIS solution(s) whether desktop, mobile, web or enterprise or all, or
• Putting forward proposals for new or remodelled solutions

We can provide high-level GIS strategic consultancy formalising GIS strategy documentation and presentations, so that you can communicate the benefits of what you propose to senior management and decision-makers.

This is part of our Complete yet Flexible GIS Solutions philosophy. We can also provide you with one or several of our individual services, tailored to your particular needs.

• Store and use data more effectively
• Better manage processes & methodologies to maintain data and systems
• More efficiently maintain software eg. updates etc
• Support your users better

Rep Territory Planning

We have significant experience in rep (customer service and sales representative) territory planning and re-organisation. GIS revolutionises the process of optimising the allocation of customers or outlets to sales or other types of reps, and in conjunction with journey planning can reduce the process to a fraction of the time and effort it previously required.

Rep re-organisations can be very disruptive to your organisation and we aim to minimise their impacts. External factors can be used to influence rep areas such as consumer or customer type and variable take up of products. We can also take existing or proposed regional reporting (political) factors into consideration.

While we use geography as a driving force to create discrete rep areas with the shortest possible drive times, we also need to consider the potential workload as some 'visits' may be scheduled to take longer, and some reps may have fewer outlets as a result.

It's a complex process but we can crack it!

Routing and Journey Planning

Efficient routing and journey planning can save you significant time and money, whether it is distribution vehicles or sales reps. We can supply routing and journey planning solutions or carry out complex journey planning on your behalf. We understand the complexities of call pattern variations, and visit cycles and can combine these with geography to solve very complex journey planning problems.

We can provide you with the journey plan to integrate into existing solutions or implement a solution for you.

We realise the importance of a collaborative approach to re-organisations and new journey plans, and we can supply the new territories and plans in a format that allows the reps to modify them, while maintaining the integrity of the complex business rules used to create them. This is critical to achieve 'buy-in' from the business.
