Alliance Homes has chosen Cadcorp for its cloud-hosted geographical information system (GIS) and web mapping.
The contract includes Cadcorp’s SIS Desktop, SIS WebMap, SIS WebMap for Power BI and a hosted spatial database, all within a fully cloud-managed service. Cadcorp is also providing a full onboarding service, including project management, training and database configuration.
Cadcorp’s self-service GIS and web mapping with Ordnance Survey data will be available to all of Alliance Homes’ staff, enabling them to visualise and analyse property information geographically.
SIS Desktop will be used for creating and preparing geographic information and analysing property stock, repairs scheduling, grounds maintenance, portfolio reassessment and new development sites. The Cadcorp platform can also be used for monitoring environmental trends and their connection to specific problems such as damp and mould.
SIS WebMap is an interactive website for sharing maps and business data over intranets, web sites and mobile devices. Multiple maps can be created to meet the department-specific requirements of Alliance Homes’ teams spanning business intelligence, development, tenancies, repairs, maintenance and neighbourhoods.
Alastair Sneddon, head of data and business insights, Alliance Homes, said, “We wanted a self-service GIS system that would let our various teams leverage geographical information for faster and more accurate decision-making. Cadcorp’s software, services and data, combined with its experience in social housing, was the best overall match for us.”
