Asset Identification Systems

Use Cases:

• Municipal Government - a County engineering agency in Oklahoma is using Wolf GIS to document the geolocation of county-maintained assets (roads, bridges, easements, culverts, signage, manholes, fire hydrants) as well as some private assets (storm shelters, driveways, well heads, private roads)
• Utility Company - a public Utility firm is using Wolf GIS to geolocate power transmission lines and to document ongoing maintenance and improvement projects.
• Public Works Dept. - a municipality in North Carolina is using Wolf GIS to geo-locate their network of water and sewer lines, including their legacy data from previous paper-maps. (hydrants, valves, master network) Data security is a major priority for many government projects.

Land Management and Information

Use Cases:

• Private Landowner - permits owner or manager to capture the location and reference data for various property improvement projects and related tax depreciation requirements.
• Park Manager - can document the location of trails, streams, plant species, parking areas, etc. Allows the notation of maintenance schedules, improvement projects, and a visual presentation of the park’s master plans.
• Hunting Club Director - provides an easily shareable record of all the attributes associated with a given parcel (roads, fences, streams, lakes, food plots, structures, deer stands, remote cameras, animal trails, etc.) Allows the Director to properly document the condition of the property relative to the lease requirements for the property. Records are easily shared, thus improving hunter safety and reducing liability.

Project Documentation and Compliance

Sample Use Cases:

• Forestry - foresters can quickly access parcel data to identify/contact property owners and gather the information they need to prepare contracts. Location-based data (roads, structure, SMZ’s, protected-areas) can easily be recorded and shared with timber crews to streamline the harvest process. Wolf-Tek’s patented Tract-Lock feature insures that timber crews harvest only on the designated property, and not on adjacent tracts.
• Oil & Gas - a pipeline maintenance firm is using Wolf GIS to document their maintenance schedule on 1200+ well head locations over a two-county area. Technicians gather time-stamped data entries at specific geo-locations which satisfies client reporting requirements.

Data Gathering and Collection

Sample Use Cases:

• Agriculture - collect and view multiple layers of field data, including soil histology, weather/rainfall data, satellite images of crops, crop histology. Allows user to timestamp entries , including images of crops or farm assets.
• Real Estate - provides easy-to-use GIS tools that brokers can use to identify potential owners on a Listing or adjacent parcel. Record inventory by location and type using Wolf GIS to display aerial views of property attributes (structures, roads, natural resources, and developed improvements, etc.) Users can define different colors or shading for easy identification of different types of property listings.
• Research - whether tracking the nesting locations of migratory bird species in Montenegro, or collecting geology data in a mining environment, Wolf GIS provides the GIS tools field technicians need to complete their jobs.

Geographic Information System

GIS is simply putting data, notes, and information over a specific map to make an informed decision, solve a problem, and track progress. GIS today is done through software, but one of the first instances of “GIS” occurred in 1854.

Dr. John Snow used data and overlaid that data on a map of London to solve the Cholera outbreak. He solved the problem using this original form of GIS to find out that the water in specific pumps was contaminated.

Typically, the data and mapping occurs on a desktop using computer software. Geography plays a major role in business, science, government, and a multitude of fields to solve problems.

Geography is comprised of endless layers of information. GIS organizes this data, for specific purposes, and this makes maps easy to read for a variety of people and use cases.

GIS Definition: A geographic information system (GIS) is a system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present all types of spatial or geographical data.

GIS uses all the tools, maps, and data you need to analyze and understand how “location intelligence” can affect you and your business, thus providing the context to make better business decisions.

What is Wolf-GIS? Wolf-GIS has put GIS in the hands of mobile users. Anyone can use this system, and you do not have to be familiar with GIS.

Wolf-GIS APEX is GIS on the go. It has the ability to work in the field, at the desk, or on the road while storing your data on a server. Wolf-GIS has given the everyday person the ability to work in GIS.

FAQ - Wolf-GIS APEX

What devices do APEX Personal and APEX Pro use?
At least an iPhone 5S, iPad 2, or iPad Mini.

What is the difference between APEX Personal and APEX Pro?
Personal is intended for individual use, and does not include data sharing capabilities (QuickShare and Shapefile uploading), or the Tract-Lock function.

Do I need Wi-Fi or cellular connection to operate APEX?
No, while you do need an Internet connection via Wi-Fi or cell service to initially view your data, APEX allows you to cache the maps and data you need for off-line use in the field. It does require an Internet connection to complete the caching process.

If I purchase APEX Personal, can I upgrade to APEX Pro later?
You may change your subscription level, and your billing cycle (monthly vs. annually), at any time.

How do I make payments?
Payments are made automatically via your valid iTunes account. When you start your subscription, the first charge is made after the 30-day free trial, and will continue until you choose to end your subscription via iTunes. All management of your subscription account, once created within APEX, is through your iTunes account.

What information do I get when I buy parcels and does the pricing change the bigger the parcel?
The Feature Data associated with a property parcel shapefile will include all of the information the original creator of the shapefile chose to include.

Are there any locations that are limited and/or do not have parcel files?
Not all areas of the United States have chosen to create GIS-based property parcel file data, typically very rural or sparsely populated areas. Coverage of the country is over 80% and growing daily.

If I miss a payment or skip a month will I get to keep my old files when I log back in to Wolf-GIS?
Yes, we do not immediately delete a customer’s data because the subscription lapses. We will periodically perform such cleanup operations. If you plan to suspend your account, we recommend that you download your data from your Repository to your pc. Contact support@wolf-tek.com if needed.

Can Wolf-GIS customize the APEX app for me?
Wolf-Tek will personalize and/or add specialized functions to APEX for your specific needs. Contact Sales (apex-customer-support@wolf-tek.com) for more information.

Do other employees/friends need to buy the app in order to view files?
Yes, if you intend to QuickShare the data with them. You may also convert your data into standard GIS data files and share them, where they may be viewed with any desktop GIS platform.

Why do my maps take so long to load?
Poor Internet service may cause maps or files to download slowly. Maps are provided by companies that specialize in those services, via their servers. Wolf-Tek cannot control circumstances they may be experiencing, such as abnormally high traffic.

Why can’t I send a certain file in an email?
QuickShare, in the Pro version, allows you to email a complete Layer, including Notes and Photos, to a colleague. Given that various email services place some limit on the size of an email attachment, if there are too many photos attached, the email may be rejected. Please try removing unnecessary photos.

Where are my files stored?
Your data is stored in a password protected Repository on a secure server.

Does Wolf-GIS provide Cases for rugged field use of my mobile device?
Yes, please visit our store at wolf-tek.com to look through our tablet and smart phone cases.
