Spatially Aware and Spatially Enabled 

 

What is around...  What was around...  What will be around.

 

Being aware of your surroundings is to be spatially aware.  Choosing to incorporate business  mapping technologies and innovations for your business, your data and your applications, means to spatially enable them.

 

What does that mean?  All businesses work with rich and valuable databases of information.  It is known that over 85% of that data contains an address element that can be located on a map, displaying a variety of relationships that can tell you a compelling story. 

 

“I have always found that when people understand the principles of geocoding, proximity, near, along, within or touches, they start to understand the business benefits and opportunities for mapping”, Laurie Edwards, Managing Director.

Lessons from Europe drive industry

 

European standards have become the focus for improvements to road utilisation and freight efficiency.  At the recent Intelligent Transport Systems Summit speakers from a number of European countries emphasised the experienced they've gained from implementing improvements throughout the European Union and how they have led to significant efficiency gains.

 

MDS' route optimisation technology was developed in France and is used extensively across Europe by major organisations to improve fleet utilisation, reduce costs and improve service delivery to customers.
