How We Work

A structured GIS project workflow for clearly defined requirements.

NavGeo Services works on defined GIS tasks and project components where the required inputs, activities and expected outputs can be clearly established.

Our approach begins with understanding the requirement and available source information before processing starts. The scope, assumptions, expected deliverables and relevant limitations are then defined so that the GIS work can proceed on an agreed basis.

Each assignment is handled through a structured workflow appropriate to the type and scale of the requirement.

Our GIS Project Workflow

06 Deliver & Document
01

Understand

We begin by understanding the GIS requirement, its project context and the intended use of the outputs.

This includes identifying the required work, expected results and any technical or project-specific considerations that may affect the assignment.

02

Assess

Available source data, formats, coordinate systems, attribute information and other relevant inputs are reviewed before the work is defined.

This helps identify data conditions, dependencies or limitations that may influence the processing approach or expected outputs.

03

Define

The required GIS activities, client inputs, deliverables, assumptions and relevant limitations are established before substantive processing begins.

For project-based work, these requirements may be documented through an agreed proposal, quotation or scope of work.

04

Process & Build

The agreed GIS work is carried out using the methods appropriate to the assignment.

Depending on the requirement, this may include mapping, digitization, CAD-to-GIS conversion, coordinate system operations, spatial-data processing, ArcPy automation, topology cleaning, data validation or geodatabase work.

05

QA/QC & Validate

Relevant quality checks are incorporated into the workflow to verify the processed data and outputs against the agreed project requirements.

The specific validation procedures depend on the nature of the source data, processing activities and required deliverables.

06

Deliver & Document

Completed GIS outputs are prepared in the agreed formats and delivered together with relevant supporting information or documentation where required.

Any important assumptions, limitations or delivery notes applicable to the completed work are communicated as part of the project closeout.

Working With NavGeo Services

Remote specialist GIS support structured around the requirement.

NavGeo Services provides remote specialist GIS support for clearly scoped assignments and GIS components within wider projects.

We can work from client-provided spatial data, CAD files, spreadsheets, maps and other relevant project information where these materials are suitable for the agreed GIS requirement.

The exact workflow does not need to be identical for every assignment. A small data-processing task may require only a straightforward scope and delivery process, while a larger GIS work package may require more detailed inputs, validation and documentation.

What We Need to Get Started

You do not need to prepare a complete technical specification before contacting us.

A useful initial inquiry normally includes:

The type of GIS work required.
Available source data and file formats.
The expected output or deliverable.
Any known coordinate system or data requirements.
The required schedule, where applicable.

We can review this initial information and determine what additional details may be needed to define the GIS scope.

Have a GIS Requirement to Discuss?

If your project includes a clearly defined GIS task or specialist geospatial component, send us the available details and we can review the requirement.
