Interactive tools

An intuitive graphic interface can help a user get data, query data or enter data quickly and easily. 

We create custom-built websites and develop desktop applications to meet a wide range of needs.

For example, an online tool within a client's website can help members of the public seek out information about their area, on a map, graph or table.

We also integrate geographic information system (GIS) capability with specific data sets to enable a client to benefit from an easy-to-use desktop GIS without having to invest in extra resources, training and new software.

These systems particularly suit situations where similar but simple queries are made repeatedly. An example would be an address label system which enables the user to output sets of labels for areas they can indicate on a map.
