GeoPal for Engineering & Surveys

GeoPal is so flexible in deployment it can be used to manage just about any data collection

requirement for your staff out in the field. Currently used by engineering companies for:

• Mobile Data Collection for BIM and GIS systems

• Telecommunications Quality Audits,

Mobile Cell Tower Surveys

• As-Built Surveys, Snag Reports

• Water and Energy Metering –

Surveys and Installation Workflows

Problems Solved by GeoPal

VisibilityLack of visibility of staff when they leave the office

ProductivityLow productivity due to inefficient scheduling or time-theft

EfficiencyHigh admin costs due to manual processing of paper forms & data re-entry

Proof of Delivery Lost, incomplete, or delayed paperwork = no proof of service delivery and inaccurate records

Compliance with Regulation & LegislationNo efficient way to monitor worker performance & safety, Vehicle Inspection Checks,Risk Assessments

There are two parts to GeoPal, a mobile app and a web management system.

The mobile app is used to replace paper-based survey forms

allowing field employees to work smarter and faster.

Capture text, photo, video, barcode/RFID, geospatial data, and more, collated instantly

and accurately transferred between field and office with no need for data re-entry.

GeoPal mobile apps are available for Android and iPhone.

How it works – Mobile App

How it works – Web Management System

There are two parts to GeoPal, a mobile app and a web management system.

The online management system streamlines scheduling and operations,

providing visibility, detailed data and real-time reports

for improved business insight and decision making.

• Used to create mobile forms and workflows, manage assets, schedule and dispatch jobs.

• Track the location of field workers, assets, customers on an interactive map.

• Customize, schedule and analyse reports and data collected in the field in real-time.

GeoPal creates significant efficiencies in managing field work, which often introduce

operational improvements in other areas of the business.

Increased accuracy and speed of transfer of information collected in the field to the office

allows real-time visibility and control of operations.

“Using GeoPal decreases returns to the job site – engineers don’t have

to go back and visit the site if they missed something, because all the

information is captured accurately first time and reported instantly.”

“With GeoPal, we can monitor the progress of all work in real-time

and reschedule work if there are any delays.”

Streamline Operations

Page 8: Geo pal engineering_surveys_jan2014

GeoPal ensures all information is verified with time, date and location-stamps, providing

detailed records for monitoring or auditing work completed, to enhance performance and

compliance of all field workers, internal or outsourced.

“On the initial survey our own surveyors used paper to capture the data and

then keyed it in to their laptops - this was very slow. For the second batch we

used agency staff and GeoPal - it was much quicker. We had the additional

benefit with GeoPal of being able to look over the route-replay history of the

agency staff – we could see where they were, handy to check compliance”

Improve Productivity & Compliance

GeoPal enables real-time reporting and analysis of data captured accurately in the field.

Benefits to businesses include:

• Increased visibility and operational control, to support critical decision-making.

• Faster report and invoice creation, improving cash flow and revenue.

• Real-time progress updates, increasing customer satisfaction.

“GeoPal gives us a direct feed of data collection as it is happening in the field.

We get to see immediately if there are issues. It speeds up both data collection and

the processing of information, and allows us to give a better product to our clients.”

Real-Time Reporting & Data Analysis

Page 10: Geo pal engineering_surveys_jan2014

GeoPal helps field and office employees to work faster and smarter, increasing productivity

and revenue for your business, and keeping customers happy.

GeoPal significantly reduces administration time and costs associated with:

• data collation and re-entry from paper forms or spreadsheets,

• printing and distributing work orders and job assignments,

• deciphering handwritten forms,

• searching for lost or delayed paperwork.

“GeoPal has reduced our costs, and the time between job completion and creating the

customer report, which means we can issue invoices faster and improve our cash flow.”

Reduce Admin Time & Costs

Page 11: Geo pal engineering_surveys_jan2014

Enhance the investment in your office systems by adding mobility to these systems,

providing a communication channel between your back office and the front lines, to

improve the quality of data capture and reporting for your business.

GeoPal’s flexible and open API suite enables you to integrate with

almost any existing IT system, including:

• GIS, BIM systems,

• Databases for snag surveys and project documentation,

• CRM, ERP, HR, Finance systems.

“GeoPal is being used a lot for surveys and the results are stored on the cloud, making it

much easier to extract data for analysis. We make extensive use of GeoPal APIs. This has

enabled us to add mobile functionality to our in-house CRM system.”

Seamless Integration

Success Story

Murphy Surveys provides surveying, laser scanning, GIS and modelling services

for the Utilities, BIM, and Engineering sectors. GeoPal is used to replace inefficient

paper forms and specialized IT solutions previously used to complete engineering

surveys in the field.

With GeoPal, Murphy Surveys can:

• Accurately capture data in multiple formats,

• Update assets and GIS information,

• Analyse field data in real-time, for faster creation of reports,

• Integrate with EBOSS Project Management System.

The key feature of GeoPal is the flexible form design. Our Surveyors can then fill out the surveys on their

android devices and the data is sent in real-time to our back office systems. This dramatically reduces the time

from carrying out the survey to creating a professional, customised report for our clients.

KTL group is recognised as a leading provider of civil, structural and electrical engineering

services to the telecommunications and utility sectors. GeoPal is saving KTL surveyors

approximately two hours of data collation and re-entry for each quality audit completed.

With GeoPal, KTL engineers can:

• Accurately capture and collate data in multiple formats,

• Increase productivity with faster data transfer between field and office,

• Analyse field data in real-time, for faster creation of reports,

• Monitor safety and provide protection for lone workers.

“Another problem GeoPal is solving for us is the ability to track field staff movement and provide lone worker

protection. With GeoPal, we can see where all workers are – not just the ones whose vehicles are tracked.

KTL has many lone workers who do a quality audit/survey – these workers need to check-in regularly, and

GeoPal can support this.”
