Geographic Information Systems
GIS is an emerging technology that enables businesses and city leaders the ability to link databases with geography. This, in turn, yields a visual management system that you can see in an interface similar to Google or Bing maps, electronically. However, there is so much more to it than meets the eye.
A GIS lets you see, explore, and analyze data by geographic location, which enables users the power of revealing patterns, relationships, and trends not readily apparent in simple spreadsheet form. Imagine being able to draw a circle on a piece of Earth and being able to query its contents. With just a few clicks of the mouse, you can see all the water mains in that location, the utility poles, crime statistics, property inventory, landowner information, business sales with nearby competitors and consumer expenditures in the area, population demographics, and so much more. How would your business operations be enhanced if you had GIS in your workflow? Jared Carey is TSE's premier GIS Specialist. |

TSE has completed GIS projects for numerous government entities and private corporations alike with exceptional results. Let us help you determine how GIS can improve the accuracy and efficiency of your existing services as we did for the following clients:
City of Diamond
The City of Diamond hired TSE to develop a plan for water system improvements both for the City and rural unincorporated areas. As part of that plan GIS services included some water system mapping as well as ensuring that deliverables for the engineering portion of the project are GIS compatible.
Cartographic Services for Missouri American Water Company
Missouri American Water Company (MAWC) selected TSE in 2004 to design water system improvements and extensions for an EPA superfund project to supply a clean drinking water solution to rural homes south of the City of Joplin. A major contribution to this project included providing cartographic services in order to help plan and develop a water distribution system for contaminated well sites.
Precious Moments
TSE has enjoyed a good relationship with Precious Moments in Carthage, MO for a number of years. In 2002, Precious Moments hired TSE to develop a facilities GIS. The goal of this project was to develop a more efficient way to manage property holdings using GIS technology.
City of Joplin
TSE was hired by the City of Joplin for two GIS projects; updating the parcel base map in order to allow the parcel map to be joined to the county CAMA database and installation of MS SQL 200 Server and ArcSDE software for improved GIS compatibility. In addition to the parcel map updates, TSE also completed a city zoning layer map.
Jasper Co. PWSD #1 Water Inventory
Our most recent GIS application, led by new GIS project manager, Jared Carey, involved raw GPS data collection by PWSD Technicians to locate in detail the positions of service points, valves, fire flows, tees, and other components of a since-outdated water map. From the data collected, distance and bearings were keyed in to closely approximate buried water mains without having need to collect further data. This allowed the district to better inventory and maintain their growing network of pipe as service demand continues to flourish in the area. A site suitability study was also tied to this project for the proposal of a new water tower.

Mobile GIS
Do you currently implement mobile GPS data collection using ArcPad? If not, you might think about adopting it into your workflow. Mobile GIS, when used with a Trimble data collector and ESRI's ArcPad software, can capture and maintain city assets, utility networks, environmental field records, and much more... but often, Mobile GIS Users find themselves needing something tailored to their industry.
TSE can program and customize ArcPad to expediently and simply assist with the collection of mobile GIS data in the field. With fewer clicks and keystrokes, field technicians collect data faster and make less mistakes in the process, yielding a greater ROI for your GIS implementation. We can also import fast, hi-resolution aerial imagery into your data collector to “see” your location as a basemap reference. Custom symbology, labeling, toolbar buttons, queries, and workflows are all a part of what we offer our mobile GIS clients.

Business Mapping
With the power of spatial business intelligence being harnessed from GIS technology, there comes forth a new way to tie geography to market insights. With business mapping, TSE can provide you with detailed reports that illustrate market share of certain products and services in any given demographic profile of the nation.
Not only are these reports affordable, but they are also a vital component of any successful business model when it comes to site selection, marketing campaigns, competition, serviceability, sales territories, routing and fuel efficiency, customer prospecting, and extracting the most dollar from any location in any given geography.
