Use case 04
Environmental monitoring and inventories
Environmental monitoring, wildlife and plant inventories, station readings: Enviro plans each campaign on the site map, sends it to the field team's mobile app and links every observation to its station, its plot and the requirement it serves.
Today
A field campaign produces data sheets, photos, coordinates and notes. The maps, meanwhile, live elsewhere: in GIS software, at a consultant's office, in a version printed last year. In between, someone re-enters, renames and relocates. And at the next campaign, someone has to find exactly where each plot was.
Readings re-entered at the office
Paper sheets, spreadsheets and photos on personal phones reach the office at the end of the week. Every re-entry is a chance to lose a value or a station.
Maps cut off from monitoring
The up-to-date layers sit in a GIS file few people open. Task tracking, for its part, does not know where the station it refers to is.
Inventories that start from scratch
From one year to the next, protocols, plots and teams change. Comparing two campaigns means reconstructing the previous one.
Map management
Every station, every plot, in the right place
Site layers are imported once: sampling stations, inventory plots, sensitive habitats, lease boundaries. Each map feature is linked to its requirements, its tasks and its history. You plan a campaign by selecting points on the map, and the team sees exactly where to go.
The mobile app
In the field, even without a network
The team opens the day's tasks on the map, goes to the point and fills in the protocol form. Geotagged photos, coordinates, species observed and site conditions are entered once, offline if needed, then synced when the network returns.
- Forms built around your inventory and sampling protocols.
- Navigation to the station or plot, GPS position recorded with every reading.
- No re-entry: the data reaches the office already linked to its requirement.
Inventories
From one campaign to the next, the inventory can be compared
Because every reading is tied to the same point on the map, campaigns stack up instead of replacing one another. Trends by plot or station emerge on their own, gaps against targets are flagged, and the monitoring report starts from data that is already located and verified.
Show us your next field campaign
The demo starts from your layers and one of your protocols. We place your stations on the map and fill in a reading in the app, the way your team would.
