Collaboration tools and commenting system

With Pathfinder, we have found an ideal tool to be able to calculate corridors or potential route paths for our clients in the preliminary planning of infrastructure projects. Our GIS experts appreciate the many configuration options and fast computation times, our partners the ease of use, and our customers the web access and timely results with comprehensive outcomes for decision-making.

Thomas Schierbaum

CEO

We had the great opportunity to test and use Gilytics Pathfinder in our large-scale transmission line projects in Germany. The software is intuitive and offers great advantages in corridor identification and routing, especially if you work with multiple geodata. Gilytics’ Pathfinder definitely speeds up planning processes for several weeks up to months depending on the existing know-how and the project requirements. In particular, for users who do not program themselves, the software represents an enormous benefit, as the nocode environment is easy to handle. So Gilytics’ Pathfinder provides almost every team member with a possibility to calculate corridors as an estimate for optimal routing in planning phases. Results can be visualized, documented and easily exported. This way, team capacities can be distributed much more flexibly, and a lot of time can be saved.

Head of Digital Solutions

The 3D Decision Support System improves public involvement in grid expansion projects because it quickly computes alternative routes for new power lines. It makes line planning more efficient and more transparent which may lead to a better acceptance of the projects.

GIS and Routing Expert

Pathfinder provides the potential to improve and accelerate planning saving costly time. The more modern 3D visualization is very useful for 3rd party communication

Head of Data Analytics, DSO

Gilytics allowed us to challenge our current way of working in our digitalization process. The close collaboration helped us to build up knowledge and improve our engineering services. This is another step forward to drive the transition to a clean energy future.
