Solutions

If you are wanting a location based application, look no further. We have the data and in many cases the tools that you need. If we don’t, we probably have partners who do.

There are so many applications that can benefit from geospatial components and there is a popular misconception that this is a very expensive industry requiring highly skilled and expensive specialists. We have those specialists, but a lot of the time we engage them in breaking down the components into relevant chunks that you can mix and match to meet your needs.

We support a huge range of environments including GIS, database, internet, software, mobility, web, intranet, photography and much more. Some of the applications we cover include:

• Car Navigation used to be for wealthy people or essential services. It is now available for the masses, business and consumer. We have the best national database available, read further to find out why.
• Route Optimisation . Any business that has people making multiple stops on a journey can benefit from Route Optimisation. In effect this savesvehicle travel and maintenance costs and time, thus improving productivity and profitability. In the past this involved purchasing expensive software and hiring an engineer to run it. With the latest Route²GO web service, these tools are available to everyone on a transaction payment basis, making it economic for fleets of only 1 vehicle as well as large companies with big fleets.
• Digital Maps . We provide maps for a wide variety of purposes from crime scenes to tourism. Maps for sporting events to waste collections. We can provide maps in most formats, for viewing on any device or printing. We can provide images that you can add your own proprietary information onto.
• Fleet Management . There are many systems available today. Leading suppliers use our data and we always welcome inquiries from new entrants to the market.
• Hard Copy Maps . We have been the supplier for many years of hard copy maps from specialist niche markets through to the major household brands. You probably have one of our maps in your car. If you need hard copy maps, ask us.
• Mobile Mapping . We have been providing maps for PDA’s and mobile phones now for a number of years. We can also provide custom maps for mobile devices.
• Location Based Services and Games . We are regularly talking to advertising and marketing companies about games, events, mobile permission based marketing, geo-caching, treasure hunts and more. Don’t miss out.
• Web Map Solutions . One of our flagships is SmartFIND which is a set of API’s which can allow a web developer to add simple to complex mapping functionality to the Internet and Intranet. If you want maps or anything related to them on your web site, whether you are a small business with one location or a large portal, we have what you need.
• Biosecurity. Aerial photography, remote sensing, mapping as well as our Points of Interest (POI)  databases allow you to use disparate systems and databases to come up with quality information. Often things become apparent much more quickly and easily when viewed spatially. This can make a huge difference when things go wrong.
• Forest Mapping. We have a wide range of patented solutions for forest mapping which is a speciality. If you have needs in this industry, please ask.
• Land Development. If you need mapping information, aerial photography or other spatial information, you should be talking to our specialists.
• Personalised Directions. When we found there was no quality database that could be used for routing and directions, we went and drove every public road in New Zealand, more than 94,000km and collected a huge range of attributes including a full turn-restriction database which not only includes roads where it is illegal to turn left or right but an even greater number of places where legally you could turn, but we don’t consider it safe or advisable. We also have all the one way roads and dual carriageways and continually update this data. We do not show paper roads so we will not send you up a road that doesn’t exist or the wrong way up a one way street. You see, maps are not all created equal, if they were, we could have saved ourselves a lot of time and money. We can save you a lot of money and disappointment.
• Property Information. We have a full database of property information which we process from the government monthly so that we can give you good up to date data for your projects or developments.
• Text Messaging and Multi Media Messaging (MMS). Our databases can be queried by the most basic phone using a TXT message query and we already supply maps and directions as well as a huge Points of Interest (POI)  database to users of Vodafone Live mobiles. The future will also offer web to MMS and other services which will further bring our data into the anytime, anywhere world.
