Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

Eliminate guesswork, apply consistency and deliver greater accuracy of route information with One Geographic Information Systems (GIS).

Simplify distance measurement

Support admission allocations and home-to-school transport assessments quickly, easily and accurately.

Provide quicker answers

A more responsive method to identify the nearest schools or nearest childcare providers.

Rely on accurate and consistent measurements

Based on Higher Mapping Solutions’ RouteFinder, currently working in conjunction with either MapInfo or ESRI systems, measurements and routing can be delivered more quickly and efficiently with a higher degree of accuracy and consistency.

Save time, increase consistency and provide greater clarity

Home-to-school distances can be measured instantly in One GIS, eliminating the need for staff to do this manually and freeing them up to carry out more important tasks.

Decisions made on the allocation of school places or provision of school transport are based on using the same roads and footpaths when calculating measurements, making them easier and more consistent.

By integrating with RouteFinder and external GIS, data within One can be extracted to provide visually engaging and informative maps that inform decisions on entitlement to support, as well as display information geographically, such as incidences of truancy, which can help explain particular trends or patterns.
