How We Use Geospatial Applications
Have you ever heard the quote, "A picture is
worth a thousand words"? We take this idea and apply it to your business's data.
Market studies, sales numbers, and prospects are just a few examples of the
types of data we display on maps. These maps then allow executives to literally
see their sales environment. Like a general looking at a map of a battle field
you will be able to plan your company's movements.
What is GPS
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is the only fully functional
Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). Utilizing a constellation of at least
24 Medium Earth Orbit satellites that transmit precise microwave signals, the
system enables a GPS receiver to determine its location, speed, direction, and
time.
How we use GPS
In a traditional business much of the value of a company is held
in the assets they own. These assets therefore are centralized and monitored
carefully so the company can protect its value. Today it is common for a company
to NOT have its assets centralized. For instance a company may rent trucks,
tools, or waste removal bins. This decentralization increases the possibility
that assets get misplaced or stolen. The Catalyze Group, Inc. integrates custom
solutions that track assets on a map with existing accounting packages to make
sure assets are monitored.
