“With GeoPal, we are not just recording information, we can analyse that information andimprove the outputs on site. That compares with the record sheets that we were using before: you could analyse them, but it is a tedious process, you have to get someone to manually input all the data onto a spreadsheet or a database, so that you could then run reports on it. The additional problem we had with paper records is that they get stuck into a folder, they get put into a box, they are moved out into a container for archive and then they get dumped in 7-8 years’ time. Whereas, with the information that we now have, it is there forever more and it can be accessed and assessed as often as we want for as long as we want.”
