What is GIS

What is GIS

A Geographic Information System (GIS) allows us visualize, query, analyse and interpret spatial data in order to understand relationships, patterns and trends, leading to modelling a potential future.

Among others GIS is commonly used for:

  • Cost savings – schedule and daily fleet movements. 

  • Better decision making (about location) – site selection. 

  • Improved communication – visualization greatly assists in understanding situations.
