Improving location-based services by enabling the integration of geographical context metadata

The company develops a collaborative planning system allowing users to create, preserve and share any kind of data on any kind of map. Working with any mapping technology, the service integrates with current TMSs, CRMs, and other management systems. Users can add tags to describe locations, record notes about work completed and equipment placed, or add notes about who to contact if trouble arises at a particular site. These functionalities allow employees to share insider knowledge with other stakeholders, key to leverage employees' personal experience and to optimize relations among stakeholders for businesses with transportation needs. The ample security between the application overlay, the mapping app, and external cloud-based systems, makes the service suitable for the USAF (e.g., in logistics and supply for bases and personnel). It can be integrated into existing USAF systems and leverage data already held by experienced operators. With the workforce aging, in-house information is at risk of disappearing if it is not formally codified and passed on to the next generation. This service stores information in a solid way, easy and natural to access from common smartphones; it can make information live on maps for as long as it is relevant.
