Hear how Sheffield City Council cut data correction time and empowered non-specialist staff with easy-to-use GNSS technology. Ed Coveney (MGISS) and Gavin Brooksbank (Sheffield CC) share practical insights for council departments.
The challenge councils face
Many councils struggle with inaccurate field data that requires constant correction and manipulation, wasting valuable officer time. Complex equipment often means only specialist staff can collect spatial data, limiting deployment across departments.
Sheffield’s solution

– How sub-metre accuracy GNSS eliminates time-consuming data correction workflows
– Why ease of use matters: getting devices into the hands of non-specialist staff
– Applications across council departments: Rights of Way, highways, street furniture, parks, environmental services
– Integration with your existing GIS systems and workflows
– Budget-friendly options for cash-constrained councils

- Steps to prepare your organisation for a smooth transition to NGD
