They rapidly reviewed our system requirements and made recommendations on how we should proceed.” Rolf Boswell, Director The Challenge Existing REALMAP systems were mostly manual and complex which was restricting their ability to grow their business. The challenge was to review and understand an idea on what MAPIT wanted a system to do and design the solution flexible enough to allow for a future growth of the business. It was also important to implement a new system and to migrate all the existing clients and their data with no interruption to the continuous production process. 
www.realmap.co.nz The Solution Fern New Zealand proposed to build an online solution where property lists entered by the agencies at different locations are immediately available to the head office system administrators. The data sharing concept of the new solution was one of the defining factors in improving production timeframe management and communication efficiency. “The new system has made our production process much quicker. We estimate the time savings across the whole process to be approximately 40%/ This saving is additional to the improved quality and accuracy that the new system provides.” 
Proofs of the publication lists are released to the agencies as soon as completed by the administrators and confirmed by the clients with a final prove made at a click of a button. An easy to use application interface provides multiple views of submitted and prepared for the publication data which simplifies the collation process and brings possibility for errors in the map production down to zero. “Our clients have easily made the transition to the new system and many have made favourable comments. The ultimate accolade from a client was “my complements to the developer”. Rolf Boswell, Director Future Steps Flexible publication definitions implemented in the new system made it really easy for REALMAP to offer new publication products. “The improved efficiency of our production process has huge implication for our business as it increases our capacity significantly which in turn is enabling us to market our product into new areas.” Rolf Boswell, Director
