"If you can't describe what you are doing as a process, you don't know what you are doing."

The
Process
TopoDOT offers a comprehensive process designed to realize the full value of modern geospatial point cloud project data. The TopoDOT process (green) essentially fills the gap from data acquisition through product delivery. Each step is critically important to executing a quality-controlled process meeting the requirements of downstream planning, design, engineering, maintenance and other operations.
"For well over a decade, I've run successful geospatial operations employing TopoDOT as the primary point cloud project processing solution. TopoDOT's intuitive process has proven critical in assuring the highest performance standards. It's also made it relatively easy to supervise quality-controlled digital twin production."
-- Paul DiGiacobbe - BBGeomatics
Productivity
TopoDOT tools are optimized to effectively execute the process with the right balance between automation and quality. Quality assurance capability has been integrated into almost every automated extraction tool. Thus highly automated tools extract features quickly, while quality is assessed immediately and corrections made efficiently within the same tool. This integrated approach to TopoDOT tool performance allows TopoDOT to push the limits on extraction speed while avoiding time and liability associated with extraction anomalies and errors.

"TopoDOT is integral to the success of our production team. TopoDOT has helped streamline traditional survey practices and brought them into the future with automated tools that give the capability to make changes quickly and efficiently. The best part is the tools keep getting better and better!"
-- Justin Cary, Mobile LiDAR Manager - GPI Geospatial Inc.
Profit
TopoDOT's process contributes directly to your bottom line!
It's pretty simple! Your operational profits are determined by the
difference between product revenue and cost of executing your process.
Technician time is a primary cost driver in your process. TopoDOT's
high productivity dramatically reduces technician time and consequent
production cost. But that's not all! In addition to increased profit
margins, TopoDOT's high productivity contributes significantly to:
Accelerated schedules
Higher production capacity
Increased equipment utilization
The TopoDOT® process is typically at least 10 times faster than competing extraction software. An investment in TopoDOT® yields high returns quickly!
"Profit is the result of the success of your business and
customer support. TopoDOT plays a key role in our
Geospatial Service's LiDAR workflows.
It allows us to exceed our customers' expectations by
utilizing efficient and advanced tools to provide a
quality final product in an impressive amount of time."
-- Joe Di Benedetto, PLS Vice President/Director of Surveying and Mapping/Geospatial - DRMP
