Geo Compliance is a methodology utilized by Baseline Business Geographics Inc. that combines asset management and compliance processes, such as field audits and inspections, with Location Intelligence principles. The policy and standards compliance audit process for distributed assets, such as business sites, business units, properties and retail locations is automated to manage the workflow of field resource and inspection activity scheduling, as well as the results analysis, with the utilization of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and mobile technology, creating an efficient management system. Organizations with distributed retailer or site networks achieve store-level compliance with operational, sales and security standards to minimize risks and maximize sales.
When we say “Location Intelligence,” we’re referring to the combination of spatial data (captured via GIS) and business data to gain insight into a specific organization and enhance business operations.
Our solutions use Location Intelligence to analyze relationships within your business data and use maps as visual tools for viewing, communicating and evaluating information.
Baseline has made it easier for our staff to collect information in the field and is saving hours of data entry time when they return to the office. It has vastly improved the efficiency of our staff.
There are three versions of Encom Discover: Encom Discover, Encom Discover 3D and Encom Discover Mobile.
Encom Discover
Since its first release in 1994 as the premier GIS package for geoscientists, Encom Discover with MapInfo Professional has maintained the mantle of GIS of choice for Natural Resources businesses. Developed by a dedicated team of practicing geoscientists and software engineers with skills in geology, geophysics, groundwater, petroleum, coal, gas and engineering, Encom Discover integrates data from multiple sources, in a unified geospatial environment, and provides specialists with leading-edge tools in a powerful, yet easy-to-use, framework.
More than in any other industry, Natural Resources businesses rely on their technical data to successfully locate, evaluate, and develop their primary assets. And they spend a lot of money to acquire this business-critical data. So make sure that you get the full value from your investment by using the right software!
