Data plays a fundamental part in the success of surveying and geospatial businesses. But all too often business owners must rely on intuition and assumptions to make big decisions. When you’ve got no reliable evidence in front of you, it can feel like you’re driving in the dark. Data-driven decisions for surveyors are essential in today’s competitive geospatial industry.
We developed Kompass BMS to show you the light. With easily accessible real-time data and powerful analytics tools, you can see how every part of your business is working – and know you’re making the best decisions to push forwards.
Data, meet analysis.
Project performance. Financial health. Operational efficiency. Precise data helps us see what’s working – and what’s not. It’s why we love data analysts and strategic planners: they help us make decisions and reduce errors. Now we can help them too, by providing the tools to see further.
Bring Kompass BMS into your business and get the reports and analysis you and your people need to really get under the bonnet of your business. See how individual projects are performing and who’s recording the most and least billable hours. Assess where costs can be cut. Monitor staff turnover. Spot trends and patterns that show you problems before they happen. Kompass gives you full visibility and powerful evidence through analysis tools, all you have to do is act on it.
Learn from your mistakes. And your successes.
Our client Feldman Geospatial imported nearly 35 years of legacy data, totalling 22,000+ projects, into the Kompass BMS system. The lessons they learned on past projects could then help them make informed decisions on the work in play.
You could learn from your previous work too: Kompass’ data analytics reporting tools integrate and aggregate all of your project data – including information from past projects. We’ve made integration straight-forward so you can pull valuable information from what’s happened before – and use it to inform what happens next.

Dashboards to see further
It can take a little while to understand what kind of reports you need to get the most meaningful data for your business. With Kompass you get a headstart: we’ve designed our data analysis dashboard especially for geospatial and surveying firms to track their projects and see how their businesses are doing.
Kompass BMS allows you to measure any number of metrics – for example by employee or by project – across departments. You’ll learn to use data in new ways and see data you’ve never been able to quantify before.
Keep your KPIs close (not your accountant)
Kompass’ robust reporting dashboard doesn’t just give you end-to-end visibility of your project KPIs, it’s mission control for running your business.
Grow profits and scale with confidence with a real-time overview of key data, enquiries, projects won, and client revenues. We can’t stress how useful it is having this information up-to-date and on-tap. What’s more, you can stop bothering your accountant or finance manager to put together reports every time you need to make a decision.

Keep data up-to-date
Data is powerful. But the information you take from Kompass in your reports is only as strong as the data you put in. Make sure you regularly update your data. Kompass will do the rest.
Review your reports
It can be difficult making strategic decisions as your business changes. Projects end. New business begins. People leave. Make sure you continue leveraging the right data by regularly reviewing and adjusting your reports. As your business evolves, so too should your reporting.
Train your staff
It sounds obvious. But unless your teams are trained to use Kompass BMS, they aren’t going to understand all of the things it can do. We offer in-depth training sessions to make sure teams are completely up-to-speed with new features and data analysis tools. You just need to sign them up.
