Desktop App
for Geospatial Survey
Mapping & Reporting

A dedicated offline desktop application built for a confidential mining and geosurvey contractor. Automates line and station generation from survey angle and coordinate data, previews locations live in Google Earth, and produces client-ready reports and proposals — all without touching the cloud.

Key Challenges

Manual survey file handling

Survey data (KMZ/PLY files) processed manually

No visual line/station generation

No way to generate line and station imagery from survey angles/coordinates

Confidentiality constraints

Data confidentiality required a fully offline, on-premise solution

No team assignment structure

No structured way to assign teams to survey stations

No standardized reporting

No standardized reporting or client-ready proposal output

Why It Mattered

“The client's survey and mining contracts required precise, confidential geospatial reporting. Cloud-based tools weren't viable due to data sensitivity, and manual file handling slowed down team coordination and client reporting.”
