Field survey team struggles to map their GPS data tracks

A consultancy has a large amount of GPS data tracks from their field survey team. When they get these into their GIS they find that the tracks do not match precisely with their existing base road network. Their journey planning software will not take into account routes which are not attached properly to their base network. They have traditionally manually tried to snap these themselves but this has proved time consuming and with a large on-going project, could lead to a great amount of staff cost.

Basemap were able to quickly implement a solution into their existing GIS software that allows them to automate the process and snap any new tracks to their existing networks within a matter of seconds.

Investment company maximises their property portfolio

A large investment company wanted to understand where in the UK they should buy property so as to maximise their investment property portfolio.

Using car travel times to centres of population within 45 minutes, Basemap were able to provide maps showing a scoring for each 500m grid square in the UK. This scoring was then used to compare and contrast the potential for areas and therefore help to identify the best areas to further investigate for potential future investments in commercial property.

Outdoor advertising company wins new business

A well known large UK marketing company needed a system to allow them to best plan bus advertising campaigns and win new business.

Taking a full UK wide database for buses, Basemap were able to provide a system that could show bus routes in relation to user defined locations/areas. The ability to display bus service frequency along with different census variables, allows the sales staff to have valuable information to assist in implementing future marketing campaigns.

Accession helps to relocate staff

A company was looking to relocate their office to a different location in the same City. The main concern was inconveniencing staff due to poorer access to the new office from the local rail and bus stations. They needed to evaluate this change of location in relation to staff walking times.

Using Accession software, Basemap were able to provide travel time contour maps and walking time data so that the new location and old location could be compared visually and the difference in walking times quantified.
