  • Municipalities and Governance
    Municipality and local self government GIS provides right information to perform the diverse functions of any local self government like municipalities, city government or industrial towns etc

  • Public Health Engineering and Environment
    Almost all public health engineering services such as sewerage management, drinking water, drainage are linked to geographical locations. Using Geo-Informatics any Organization can map all installations under a zone and retrieve information related to them at the click of the mouse. GIS plays an important role in monitoring the environment more efficiently and cost-effectively. For instance, GIS helps you to comply with the multilateral environmental regulations by providing you with attribute data.
  • Urban and Rural Planning
    GIS allows the planner to integrate a wide variety of data into one common format, a map. Using a map, the planner can accurately draw a development plan of a new township or rural settlement with due consideration of transportation, landscape and demographic distribution.

  • Land Revenue and Cadastral Records
    Maps should be the heart of any land related records. Any administrator, who has anything to do with land records, land use or land revenue, can do nothing without the use of maps. Naturally, LIS (Land Information Systems) will be an valuable technique for them.


  • Oil and Gas
    Petrochemical business is essentially location based. One has to constantly think about where to drill wells, route a pipeline, or build a refinery. Geo-Informatics can help in understanding and analyzing geographic information using maps. But GIS does more than create micro maps, it lets you integrate raster images; link CAD, scanned image files to discover new alternatives.


  • Pipelines and Utility Networks
    Geoinformatics will help a organization with management of related data with a geographic component and allows managing pipeline integrity and efficiency. Maintenance management of the pipeline valves, fittings and accessories becomes easier as the data is stored related to each of the component and can be used dynamically from the utility map to plan your routine and preventative maintenance, emergency maintenance, and various inspection activities.


  • Transportation and Freight Movement
    Geoinformatics is all about location based information handling; it can be a valuable tool for any organization to monitor Traffic Management Systems and road conditions, find the best ways to deliver goods and services, track fleet vehicles, or maintaining transportation networks.



  • Highways and Traffic
    Any organization can use GIS Solution to improve its decisions about design, construction, or maintenance of roads and highways. Particularly at the design stage, it will help immensely by providing the surveying and leveling data in a dynamic environment.

  • Education and Social Welfare
    GIS can be used very effectively for planning primary education and literacy programs for developing nations such as Pakistan. Spatial population information based on literacy percentage, economic condition of the community may be stored in different layers of maps.



  • Hydrology and Water Resource
    GIS helps by mapping the affected layers, modeling the watershed coverings, all possible known factors and answering simple queries based on some forecasting tools.



  • Telecommunication and Media
    It is important in the telecommunication and media industry to know where their customers and facilities exist and information about those locations. With the help of Geoinformatics and Remote Sensing, an Organization can easily help itself plan for the location of its strategic installations and also to install and maintain them efficiently.



  • Service and Supply Chain Management
    An Organization can use Geoinformatics to find where a particular vendor or customer is located and focus on the location with respect to the location of its service network.


  • Forestry and Land Degradation
    Geoinformatics provides with powerful means of analysis and decision making against these backdrops. GIS can help in determining the harvesting options, to capture, analyze, and model ecosystem processes and functions.

 

  • Crime Control and Security
    Crime control and enforcement bodies like police and investigating agencies can tremendously benefit from the use of GIS Solution. The entire map of the command area can be viewed on the computer screen and analysis can be made on crime rate or incidents of particular.


  • Disaster Management and Risk Assessment
    A Map is a vital need for disaster management. Geoinformatics supports various aspects of disaster management, Planning, response, relief, and recovery. All these activities can be efficiently handled using Geoinformatics and Remote Sensing.

 

  • Agriculture and Agri-Business
    For advanced applications in agriculture engineering and agronomy, Remote Sensing and GPS collected field data can be used with GIS for more cutting edge analysis required in crop assessment, agricultural planning and agri-business decision making.
