Whitepaper: Mobile Field Data Capture with MoversSurvey | MovingLayers 2026

Target Audience: Infrastructure planners, energy suppliers, planning offices, project developers

  • Practice-oriented
  • 16 pages
  • Applications

How are leading infrastructure companies digitizing their field survey processes — and why isn't traditional GIS enough? Our MoversSurvey whitepaper has the answers.

This whitepaper shows how mobile GIS-based field data capture fundamentally changes data collection, assessment, and documentation in infrastructure projects — from the site walk-through to the authority-compliant export document.

Download the whitepaper free of charge and learn how to:

  • fully digitize analog field processes
  • make geodata available on the same day as the site visit
  • significantly reduce documentation effort and post-processing time

The turning point in field documentation

Rising regulatory requirements, fragmented data collection processes, and a structural shortage of skilled workers are putting organizations in the energy and infrastructure sector under increasing pressure.

At the same time, the complexity of field surveys is growing: route planning, area assessments, permitting documentation — all of this still largely runs on paper forms, Excel spreadsheets, and manual re-digitization. Traditional desktop GIS solutions reach their limits here because they primarily support office-side analysis, not end-to-end field processes.

Mobile GIS field data capture as a strategic lever

A new generation of mobile survey platforms enables, for the first time, the end-to-end digitization of complex field processes — offline-capable, georeferenced, and directly exportable.

The whitepaper shows how:

  • geodata capture and structured documentation converge in the field
  • questionnaires, photo documentation, and map annotation run in a single workflow
  • results are delivered in a reproducible, audit-proof, and authority-ready way

The focus is on the transition from isolated tools to seamless, field-driven data processes.
