Data integration

Data integration

Data integration

Bring spreadsheets and common GIS formats into a single source of truth. Keep layers organized by project or region, apply simple filters and control visibility.
  • Load points, lines and polygons
  • Tag layers by department or theme
  • Use clear naming and metadata fields

Interactive mapping and dashboards

Interactive mapping and dashboards

Interactive mapping and dashboards

Build maps for land use, transport and services. Create dashboards that highlight KPIs per area, such as access to parks or distance to public facilities.
  • Toggle layers to tell a clear story
  • Search and filter assets by attributes
  • Share view-only links or invite editors

Geospatial analysis

Geospatial analysis

Geospatial analysis

Use practical tools to answer core questions. Measure distances and areas in metric units, define buffers and compare scenarios.
  • Draw trade areas around stations at 500 m or 1 km
  • Overlay hazard zones and population layers
  • Capture notes and decisions on each map view

Collaboration and governance

Collaboration and governance

Collaboration and governance

Work across departments without version chaos. Keep records of who changed what and ensure everyone sees the latest map.
  • Role-based access and audit history
  • Comments on layers and features
  • Project folders for districts and programs
