GIS Integrated Field Data Collection
ScanControl, Inc delivers field data collection solutions to multiple specialised functions through a simple to use platform combining database technologies with central servers, desktop and mobile computing devices. This Trak product series provides a core database and integrated Geographic Information System (GIS) tools to provide a rich reporting capability. The software can be configured to keep track of almost any variable and deliver the output seamlessly to a map of the sample area. This approach allows decision makers to understand the magnitude and distribution of a problem without having to scan through volumes of tabular data.
Users can define their own set of variables for field measurement. The program has been extensively deployed in farming operations where it is used to track anything from yield estimates to which harvest crew completed a particular operation in a specific spinach field on a particular date - a particularly useful capability that is frequently referred to as geotraceability.
Distributed organizations can rapidly assess the status of their resource allocation, product quality, water usage and many other operational factors through the convenience of a geographic information system dashboard.
