GIS and mapping

GIS turns location-based information into organised data, maps and repeatable workflows. Maplas helps clients define what should be captured, how features should be classified, which coordinate reference system should be used and how the final information will support a decision or operation. Services may include field-data collection, map digitisation, georeferencing, coordinate transformation, spatial databases, thematic mapping, utility or asset mapping, land-use mapping, web-map preparation, spatial analysis and conversion of survey data. Good GIS work depends on more than an attractive map. Source quality, dates, accuracy, metadata, naming rules, permissions and update responsibilities must be understood. Maplas reviews these issues before building the workflow and explains limitations that could affect interpretation. Agreed outputs may include printable maps, GIS layers, databases, dashboards or web-ready data, coordinate files, metadata and documented procedures. Support is available for one-off assignments and for teams establishing a sustainable mapping process.
