Before we decided to develop the new applications, we reviewed existing applications such as Smart Parks, Earth Ranger, Cybertracker and others.
For various reasons, the existing applications did not meet our needs. Our biggest concern was data security. In addition, there were complicated applications with outdated programme structures. The biggest obstacle, however, was that all applications only work with a data line.
In certain areas, however, this is only possible with a very high financial outlay. In our opinion, all these reasons are responsible for the fact that so little data is collected.
So, we decided to develop an application that meets professional standards. High reliability, high data security, and easy to use for local staff.
All data in real time
Simple operation
Paperless
Data available over long time
CSV-File Export of all data
Independent of own system defects
Very high data security
Cloud application - no programme installations
The application has a modular structure.
Different modules can be subscribed to depending on requirements.
Depending on the module, authorisation of the device and the employee is required.
Modules, devices and employees are activated by Digital Reserve Management
The rights of the individual users and tablets are allocated by a sophisticated distribution system according to the client's specifications.
Intuitive operation
Logical sequence of inputs
One-to-one buttons
No paperwork
Low source of errors
QR code enables quick and easy data capture
Every employee can operate this tool. We speak from experience: The oldest employee of a Reserve had the best target values!
The applications have been in use since April 2022. First as a project, then as a professional application. The test phase was successfully completed in May 2023. The system was operated for 6 months without any downtime. The acceptance among the employees is very high, as the operation is very simple, and easy to master.
The application is built as a cloud application.
Simply explained, the data collected is stored in a secure cloud. The administrator has access to this data via his desktop. The systems of collection and analysis are separate. This massively increases the security level.
Another advantage of the cloud application is that no programmes need to be installed.
As a unique selling point, the application also works when there is no data line (WiFi or Mobile). The data is captured and stored. As soon as a data line is available, the data can be synchronised. This means that work can continue even if the data line fails at short notice. This is a significant advantage with Gate Security!
The app makes it possible to record and compare data over a longer period of time. Another huge advantage of the app is that the data is still there even if the manager changes or the computer is "lost"!
Create user-friendly apps that provide valid data on wildlife populations in the Reserve. The analysis of the data is expected to make a significant contribution to making informed wildlife management decisions.
Creation of a security system that enables the reserve to minimize the security risk to his valuable wildlife populations.
Data encryption when sending and receiving files.
Only authorised devices can collect data.
Authorised devices can be blocked at any time.
High security server in Switzerland.
Access to data only for authorised persons.
Password protected login area.
Programming and data handling according to ISO 27001 standard.
Our apps are not fully automated. We need humans to collect data. The use of the apps is not intended to save labour. The aim is to collect data in order to analyse it, which will provide important insights in the short, medium or long term. Employees should be able to perform their duties with a higher quality. Until now, data remained in the brains of isolated people, and one had to rely on experience to make decisions. With our app's, the data can be evaluated objectively, and scientific conclusions can be drawn. Human experience is still needed to interpret and implement the findings.
