Field evidence arrives without usable context
Photos, forms and notes exist, but the office still has to reconstruct the asset, location, status and decision they belong to.
Field systems and geospatial
Keep location, work, evidence and status connected.
Strataflow creates GIS-led field systems that carry the right context and controls from planning through site activity, audit and office decision-making.
Recognisable symptoms
The map, the job record and the evidence tell different versions of the work.
Status advances before the gate is genuinely complete
Missing evidence, failed audits and blocked references are discovered after downstream work has already started.
Spatial systems show assets but not operational truth
The GIS is disconnected from live service, permit, job or evidence data, so teams switch between tools to understand one situation.
What Strataflow can deliver
Practical capability tied to a controlled outcome.
Utilities, telecoms, infrastructure, logistics and evidence-heavy service organisations where location and proof affect the next accountable decision.
Capabilities
- Bespoke GIS and map-led operational applications
- QGIS, ArcGIS and IQGeo integration

Strong fit
Use this route when...
- Location, assets or routes materially affect the workflow
- Evidence or approval quality changes what can happen next
- A field and office owner can validate the same process
- One bounded workflow can be isolated for the first release
Outside scope
Not the right route for...
- Supplying or managing field labour
- Site-specific traffic-management or construction design
- Replacing a complete enterprise GIS or ERP
- Safety or compliance guarantees without the responsible appointed parties
Questions before a fit call
Enough detail to decide whether this is your route.
Is geospatial broader than GIS?
Yes. GIS remains an important tool and buyer term, while geospatial also covers spatial databases, topology, location matching, imagery, routes and the use of place inside operational decisions.
Which GIS platforms can you work with?
QGIS, ArcGIS and IQGeo can form part of the working environment, supported by PostgreSQL/PostGIS data models and API-led integration where appropriate. The review establishes what should be retained, connected or changed.
Do we need to replace our existing field platform?
Usually not. The first option is to connect or improve the workflow around the systems already in use. Replacement is considered only when a bounded layer is genuinely the source of the failure.
Can you work with telecoms network data?
Yes. Laurie's background includes fibre planning, PIA evidence, PostgreSQL/PostGIS and GIS-led delivery systems. Access and confidentiality boundaries are agreed before representative data is reviewed.
Field systems and geospatial
Bring the field workflow where location and evidence keep falling apart.
Start with one job type, one handoff and the records needed to make the next decision safely.
