WE CAN INTERROGATE THE DATA EARLIER IN THE PROJECT AND DEVELOP SOLUTIONS QUICKER THAN EVER BEFORE
EDi - The First Environmental Data Intelligence System in SA
Paper records a thing of the past"
The development of EDi in 2016, our system to capture electronic data in the field and communicate in real time to our project management team, has proven to be a game changer for us. We can interrogate the data earlier in the project cycle and develop solutions quicker than ever before.
According to CEO and co-founder, Kylie Bishop, LBWco is the first in South Australia to implement a paperless, streamlined data intelligence system to significantly reduce the waiting time between getting data from the field and processing it into useable intelligence. “We’ve named it EDi and it is both a philosophy and a system”, she says.”
“EDi is how we solve our clients’ problems and includes a software system for collecting highly organised field data on rugged tablets and transferring it rapidly to our server via the cloud. We create plans for field events in EDi, overlay electronic information we already hold, such as site plans and testing data, then upload the plans to the tablets.
“EDi securely centralises our investigation data; enables the efficient development of environmental intelligence; and allows us to create the solution faster than any system we have worked with before,” says Bishop.
“All of our staff can now send and receive real time data between the office and the field, rather than having to wait for the consultant to return from site and type up hand-written field data. The time and cost savings in regional and remote areas is particularly significant, and our risk for loss of paper records is significantly reduced.
“It also enables our Project Managers to interrogate data collected in real time, to video chat with field staff, and make immediate adjustments to the field program or communicate important information to clients in real time.”
