Portal with Mapping Capability
Business Need
One of the primary concerns for many real estate professionals is the combination
of geospatial and informational services into one single, easy-to-use system that
would increase efficiency and quality.
To address this concern, Akvelon designed and developed a solution based on the
web portal with extended mapping capability (QuickMaps).
Solution
Our team created a unique software architecture to meet system requirements and
create a foundation for further extensibility.
The solution provides reach functionality, including:
- Up-to-Date, Detailed, Fully Routable Maps - Maps
contain full coverage of metropolitan and rural areas. They also contain detailed
information of highways, interstates, business and residential roads, and feature
much more.
- Interactivity - The map viewer allows users to
view multiple map services online. Their navigation is designed to browse the entire
chosen map with no page refresh required. QuickMaps includes multiple features:
- Display one or more map services in a singleview
- Perform simple operations such as measure a distance or calculate an area
- Identify attribute information of features in map service
- Smart Updates Feature - QuickMaps has unique smart-update
functionality. This feature loads data once, and automatically updates throughout
the entire map session.
Projected Benefits and Results
- Improved performance with new features, including: unique
"geographic engine" for accelerated interaction between servers and clients, multiple
map layers (over 30 to the moment), and automatic map updates.
- Reduced costs with use of integrated data storage and accurate
geospatial information.
- Increased efficiency and user experience due to convenient
navigation, easy-to-use functionality, and a rich geospatial library.
