Anyone looking for a GeoAce alternative is usually not looking out of curiosity. The decision is often the result of concrete experience on the construction site.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t

Looking for a GeoAce alternative?<\/h2>\n

Many construction companies, municipalities and infrastructure operators are currently dealing with one question:<\/span><\/p>\n

Does GeoAce still fit in with our daily processes - or do we need an alternative?<\/b><\/p>\n

The desire for alternatives rarely arises without good reason. In discussions with site managers, foremen and digitization managers, we hear similar points time and again.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t

\n\t\t\t

Typical reasons why users reorient themselves<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Complexity in everyday life<\/b>
    \n<\/b>Although tools are introduced, they are hardly ever used on the construction site. If a system is not understood quickly, it is not used.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Lack of acceptance among polishers<\/b>
    \n<\/b>Frequent feedback from the field: <\/span>\u201eWe have - but nobody uses it.\u201c<\/span><\/i>
    \n<\/span><\/i>Without acceptance, even the best technology will not bring any added value.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Restrictions on export & further processing<\/b>
    \n<\/b>Measurement data, photos and documentation should be used flexibly - for CAD, invoicing or verification. If this is cumbersome, it costs time and nerves.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Requirements have changed
    \n<\/b>Many companies today are no longer looking for a special solution for individual projects, but for a simple tool that combines documentation, orientation on the plan and measurement in a meaningful way.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t

    What a good GeoAce alternative should do<\/h2>\n

    Clear requirements arise from practice:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Easy to operate, also for non-surveyors<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Reliable in daily use<\/li>\n
    • Open data formats & clean exports<\/li>\n
    • High acceptance on the construction site<\/li>\n
    • Short support paths<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t
