Pathfinder
Pathfinder makes complex projects easier by combining spatial data and user know-how with our modelling on the cloud. Generate multiple scenarios and compare them quickly to find the best fit based on your parameters.
How it works
A simple workflow makes Pathfinder easy to use.
- Identify project data,
- Set project parameters
- Define multiple scenarios and generate results
- Compare route alternatives with a heat map
- 2D and 3D visuals
- Analytics
- Review, edit, and share routes with the team
- Export results
Benefits
Save up to 6 months in project process
Reduce project costs up to 30%
With 5× faster analysis
Fast
- Instant analysis of economic, engineering, environmental, human, regulatory data
- Quickly generate as many scenarios as you need and find the best option
