Project Goal
Or goal is to make a single repository for all geospatial information in the company and to create apps and dashboards that help decision makers use that information to make faster and better decisions. We are gradually achieving that goal one department at a time. Recent advancements are bringing GIS Business Analyst into our business development team to analyze potential markets and help with prospecting.Business Problem Solved
Before ArcGIS Rogers Group had a disorganized collection of maps and surveys in various forms from paper plats to pdf files to CAD files. With AGOL we now have a central location that hosts all property lines, permit boundaries, mine plans, and more. And, each feature has its associated metadata so we can see where a boundary is and have direct access to the associated deed or permit while being notified of any upcoming expiration dates.
Recently we have also been diving into market analysis using imported market data combined with Business Analyst and Living Atlas data.
Technology Implemented
AGOL, Business Analyst, and Web App Builder. We have a collection of web apps for quarry operations management, sales/market analysis, and land prospecting.
