Everything connected everywhere

Geographic information systems (GIS) and geospatial data empower businesses, governments and communities right across the world. Everything happens somewhere and, although this fact is often taken for granted, location data underpins hundreds of billions of global GDP activity every year. Geospatial data and the GIS which support it are so woven into the fabric of our societies that its importance sometimes goes under the radar, in effect hiding in plain sight. At SBL, GIS is central to our vision and part of our business DNA; we never lose track of the vital digital transformation role GIS plays in connecting societies. Our GIS & geospatial data services and solutions are designed to help make these connections. Indeed our large, multi-disciplinary GIS teams are on a constant mission to promote and deliver the benefits of geospatial data wherever possible.

At its core a GIS uses topographic, demographic, environmental, and spatial data along with interactive maps to provide key insights for critical decision-making. For GIS and geospatial data production and analysis the precision and accuracy of the data is paramount. As the maxim goes within the GIS community ‘rubbish in, rubbish out’. Our teams understand completely that one cannot ask intelligent questions of the spatial data, or expect answers which are precise, accurate and complete, if the data has gaps, is out of date or includes errors. This principle is fundamental to our GIS & geospatial data offering and will always be present in the services which you can expect from us.

Indeed, used effectively smart location data has become a potent asset for establishing points of difference and competitive advantage. By identifying geospatial patterns and trends organizations are better able to predict future opportunities or risks and expose actionable insights for how to maximise or mitigate them. Furthermore, in our experience this sort of spatial analysis also brings benefits in the here and now, in particular immediate operational cost savings through more accurate, less wasteful decision-making. 

Example applications where the use of GIS and geospatial data can have a transformative impact include land management, site selection, logistics routing, utility mapping, facility management, infrastructure projects, network analysis, customer segmentation, project monitoring, and development, but there are many others besides.

As you would expect, at SBL we provide a full spectrum of GIS services from 2D mapping to photogrammetry, LiDAR, BIM, and many more services to support your evolving business needs for precise location intelligence, trends analysis, demographics patterns and several key insights for visualization, interpretation and analysis. Our geospatial data services are software vendor neutral: we are equally happy using proprietary GIS technology such as ESRI as we are open source alternatives such as QGIS. This flexibility ensures two things: first that we can cater to the widest possible range of preferred geospatial data inputs, outputs and file formats; second that where appropriate we can develop GIS software applications in-house as part of the overall GIS project. 

Our services cover a diverse range of domains including mining, real-estate, logistics, infrastructure, transport, E-commerce, government, retail, forestry and agriculture. We are among the top 20 multi-disciplinary GIS service providers in India and are one of the very few companies offering integrated services and solutions using GIS, LiDAR, and BIM technologies. Leveraging the power of advanced technology and backed by extensive research, our GIS specialists deliver the requisite support and accuracy you require for your business’s critical decision-making and growth through smart visualizations, comprehensive insights, data analysis, and smart maps. 

We have been a prominent pioneer in the domain of UAV data processing and have successfully executed numerous projects for large insurance and mining companies in this sphere.
