MoversSurvey in Field Use

How MoversSurvey supports you

MoversSurvey structures the field survey from the initial inspection
to export that is compliant with official requirements.

  • Capture geodata and photos directly in the field – even without a mobile connection
  • Individual questionnaires per object guide the team reliably through the survey, so the data gets from the site visit to the office quickly and quality-checked
  • Works standalone – no existing GIS system required

Roles & access for optimal collaboration between field and office work

  • Differentiated read and write permissions per project.
  • External employees, experts or authorities can be granted read access - securely and transparently.

MoversSurvey supports field data collection by

  • drawing and evaluating mounting surfaces and work areas directly on the map
  • documenting pole locations, line routes and environmental restrictions geo-referenced
  • creating approval-relevant evidence with timestamp and GPS coordinates
  • capturing photos, comments and questionnaires for each geo-object and exporting them immediately

How MoversSurvey works

  1. Create project: Configure map, users & data collection.
  2. Prepare map: Download map area before field deployment.
  3. Survey terrain: Annotate, photograph, document.
  4. Synchronize: Securely exchange local data with the system.
  5. Export: Provide geodata via GeoJSON, PDF report or Excel.
  6. Analyze & Decide: Work data-driven with current geodata.

FAQ

Questions & Answers

How does MoversSurvey work?

MoversSurvey is a mobile GIS app (iOS, Android, Web) for structured field surveys. Field teams record geo-objects, photos, and questionnaires directly in the field — even without a mobile connection. All data is automatically stored in the central project area and is immediately available as GeoJSON, PDF, or Excel.

Do users need GIS knowledge to use MoversSurvey?

No. MoversSurvey is designed so that field teams without a GIS background can immediately become
productive. Setting points, taking photos, filling out surveys —
all of this works in just a few clicks.

GIS know-how is helpful for project configuration and GeoJSON export, but not absolutely necessary.

Will MoversSurvey replace our existing GIS system?

No. MoversSurvey complements existing GIS systems such as QGIS or ArcGIS.
The app handles structured field data collection; the GeoJSON or Shapefile export
flows directly into the existing GIS workflow — without duplicate entry or
manual transfer.

How are data protection and data sovereignty implemented?

MoversSurvey is developed and operated in Austria. The platform is fully
GDPR-compliant.

Project data remains within the controlled infrastructure — no
forwarding to third parties.

Can custom questionnaires be configured?

Yes. Questionnaire templates are configured on a project-specific basis and can include
mandatory fields, display logic, and media uploads. Setup is performed in
collaboration with the MovingLayers team. A self-service option is under development.

Less paper. Faster processes. Data in the GIS the same day. Less effort for your team.

MovingLayers consolidates years of GIS experience in infrastructure construction into MoversSurvey —
for field teams who want to record data in a structured way, and project managers who want to evaluate it instantly.

Before and after in the geodata lifecycle

MoversSurvey sits in phase 1 · Capture, in the form of the site visit. The cycle continues from there:

  • Capture by data stream: VirtualShepherd – LoRaWAN sensors where mobile coverage cannot reach. Often it is the data stream that first shows a site visit is needed.
  • 2 · Validate and prepare: sample geodata – validated before it counts.
  • 3 · Understand and decide: Kermit GeoAI – answering spatial questions in plain language.
  • 4 · Implement and improve: the decision becomes a measure – and because the measure changes reality, it writes the capture brief for the next cycle.

Consulting and operation carries all four phases: tenders and procurement, requirements and migration, operations and maintenance. View the geodata lifecycle
