A Wealth of Information
We face great risks as a mining company. Inadequate data regarding remote sites can literally sink a mining operation, costing us time, resources and a lot of money. Our solution: Visit every site and capture as much critical data as we can from geography, maps and sub-surface findings to detailed site notes and analysis from our scientists. As they are gathering information, they can upload it using Global Phototrack's simple upload application using high speed internet. Our data collection and site tagging can also be done using the camera and GPS we already have. This gives us a living, growing, objective document to use as a foundation for our project. Accurate and detailed exploration and reconnaissance depends on Global Phototrack. It gives its users an indispensable tool that not only saves money, but may one day save our entire operation.
Notes from a Disaster
Our research takes us to remote parts of the world. Often times, we act as the eyes, ears and sometimes voices of otherwise under-served causes. Our ability to accurately capture these voices, faces and stories is crucial. Cost consciousness is vital to many not-for-profit and advocacy organizations and Global Phototrack acts as a valuable partner in helping save time and money. More importantly, we have found that phototracking gives us unprecedented power in documenting the living conditions and realities we experience. The stories we capture can be brought to life with Global Phototrack’s visually objective format. Once we collect and upload our data, we can return to it again and again to inform policies, push for change and to remind ourselves of our most important purpose. Global Phototrack makes it easy to preserve the realities of the worlds we experience. This makes Global Phototrack very powerful.
Immersed in a Virtual Crime Scene
Our ability to build solid cases begins the moment we encounter a crime scene. It is critical that we gather, log and capture as much information as we can as quickly as we can because the clock is ticking. Time is our enemy and crime scenes face any number of problems including contamination by outside influences. We use Global PhotoTrack to create a virtual crime scene using crime scene photography, witness statements and detective observations to capture key moments in time. As information is captured and logged, it can be uploaded and then processed to get our detectives working immediately toward solving the crime and apprehending the suspects. And, as new evidence and information becomes available we can add to our document giving us a comprehensive record of the investigation. Our ability to revisit the scene of crimes is indispensable to us and has helped us solve many cases.
Redefining Oil & Gas Reconnaissance
Finding new and abundant oil and gas reserves can take us to some pretty remote locations. While the potential rewards are vast, the risks and costs can quickly escalate reducing profitability and wasting time and staffing hours. Chartering helicopters, covering liability insurance and staffing requirements grow exponentially if we have to make repeated field visits because all the technology in the world is only as good as our ability to observe and report our findings. Our solution: We phototrack everything. Every site, every inch of terrain, geographical findings, scientific opinion and other field notes. Using our current equipment: a simple digital camera and a GPS we then upload the data using our high speed upload. The document we get in return then gives us a virtual landscape to return to again and again as we make painstaking decisions about which sites to pursue and which to avoid. Global Phototrack is figured into projects as a key time and cost saving tool.
More Reliable Risk Assessment
To determine real risks associated with personal or corporate insurability, we need to consider a wide range of potential variables including: environmental factors, business factors, lifestyle variables, site location and design, municipal resources, crime and demographic data and other valid risk profile indicators. With so much data to mine and manage, we initiated a relationship with Global Phototrack based on the merits of their convenient objective reporting service. Our partnership allows us to focus on collection and end game analysis while Global Phototrack tags, processes and assembles the data into a rich, visually objective format that makes our final decisions significantly easier. We also save critical time by only having to gather this information once. We then archive all phototracked reports giving us an easy to reference collection of our work. We think this service makes our job easier, our reporting more accurate, and our bottom line a bit healthier, making Global Phototrack a very safe bet.
