Location-Based Services - Handheld Devices Case Study
Total Onsite Management Solution
Background and Objectives
As a proof of concept, Magnasoft developed a scalable web-based GIS on-site management solution for utility applications. The
client is a leading design engineering and digital content provider with more than 5 million users globally. The concept of
connectivity was fundamental to the proposed solution. The inherent connectivity logic enabled network tracing and identification
of plant items that were linked together by several sources in a graphical environment.
The solution provides facilities for fault tracking, customer care, planning and efficient management of a large distributive network. More importantly it provides a framework for better integration and analysis of relevant facility information.
Key Aspects of the Projects
- Back office module - This application enables the office staff to update requests and keep track of the status of fault reporting using their desktop computers. All updates made by field staff are reflected in the Back Office database. This application also facilitates location of network elements/entities on the desktop mapping system.
-
Field crew application - This is a PDA application primarily for field staff to query and update status of job
allotted to each crewmember. This also facilitates tracing of network elements associated with each parcel.
Services rendered and Methodology
The application provides the following functionalities:
- Display of Network elements and report creation
- Spatial representation of MDFs and associated data
- Spatial queries based on Name or Telephone Number
- Location of queried parcel and creation of work order

About Magnasoft
During the past decade, our economic reality has undergone a dramatic
transformation and a fundamental shift. After years of economic expansion
fueled by unrealistic rates of consumption and unsustainable levels of
private debt, the global economy has reset at a lower baseline level of
activity. Today, people borrow less, save more, and spend with much greater
caution. This is the new normal and it will be with us for some time to
come. The issue now is how to respond!!!
At Magnasoft, we look at this phenomenon as a transformation that will
change the way we experience the world and share our experiences with
others. It's a transformation in which the barriers between technologies
will fall away so we can connect to people and information no matter where
we are. It's a transformation where new innovations will shorten the path
from inspiration to accomplishment.

other geospatial technologies with extensive subject matter expertise to
