GIS or Geographical Information System is a software system that is used to create, manage, analyse and map all types of spatially related data. It works by layering and displaying location data in a digital map format.
The system allows you to organise and analyse locational information by mapping it on the world’s surface in its actual position relative to other features,
GIS connects elements and features within a map, to a database and by coordinating locations can help reveal patterns and relationships within a geographic context.
GIS is a great way to record and locate assets for management and planned maintenance purposes from grounds maintenance to plant.
Using a GIS improves productivity by providing faster access and analysis of information enabling more informed decision making. It also enables the sharing of key information and improves communication with an easily understood visual format.
