Revelo, the Spatial Decision Support System, is a proprietary software product developed by the Nagpur based 6Simplex Software Solutions Pvt. Ltd. It was designed and developed completely at the Nagpur, Maharashtra development center of 6Simplex, by software developers and engineers native to the state of Maharashtra. It will continue to be maintained and further developed by the team at Nagpur.
In order to collect data and then be able to use it fruitfully for decision making, an organization must know what data they already have and what data to collect, in the context of their business domain. Prior to this, they must have a clear definition of that business domain. When artifacts such as the business domain definition, the data they already have and understanding of data they need are all in place, a clear picture of the real data needs and gaps that exist in those data emerges, and that too in context of their business domain. Based on these determinations, the organization can then plan and acquire more data, if needed, and use all of those data meaningfully.
There are many web and mobile apps in the market that let you collect data and view them, but none that help you plan, acquire and use data in the context of your business domain.
This is where Revelo comes in.Revelo provides cloud based visual tools to
thereby providing a platform for managing the entire data lifecycle of planning, acquisition, use (analysis, visualization, reporting).
Revelo helps organizations define their domain model, understand what data they already have from the domain model’s perspective and then plan acquisition of the data they don’t currently have. This helps build a bird’s eye view of the state of data in the entire organization and evaluate their data needs with this high level reality in mind.
In addition to managing the data lifecycle, Revelo also provides intelligent mechanisms to deal with inevitable changes that happen to the business domain. As and when the domain evolves over time, Revelo adjusts itself to those changes and helps the organization maintain their data lifecycle in sync with the real world, without requiring any extra software development effort.
Revelo provides a process driven workflow for the complex and iterative process of data collection related work assignment, actual field data collection, data management, and subsequent data archival. This includes assigning tasks based on the geography of the survey area and easy transfer of tasks from one surveyor to another
This is especially useful in scenarios where there is considerable churn in data collector personnel ranks. Standards based web and mobile security ensures that only authorized personnel collect and access just the right amount of data.
The business domain model defined earlier in the data management lifecycle trickles down to Revelo’s downstream components such as web and mobile applications and drives the data collection effort, thereby ensuring that basic data validation rules are baked into the platform and yet remain configurable at any time. This saves time and effort during manual data validation.
Other features such as automatic data validation, data domains, geofences, task delegation and control, etc for surveys help prevent fraud and allow for quick completion of surveys. Revelo also monitors high level state of the survey, thereby providing a quick overview of Survey status, in terms of cost, schedule, and overall progress. The data integrity remains intact and web based validation/editing tools provide means to weed out avoidable mistakes as well as unintended errors in the data, even when field surveys are ongoing.
The automatically higher quality data thus collected reduces time and effort required to validate the data manually and also helps reduce back office activities of cleansing the data collected so far. These together bring down data acquisition costs. Couple this with the change management capability of Revelo, and the user has a powerful tool to make critical decisions faster.
As the data is collected in online or offline mode and uploaded, Revelo’s real time analytics engine builds up a realistic picture of the state of the Survey, in form of charts, graphs etc, and also allows Survey owners to start asking questions to the data for Report generation and making decisions.
GIS users demand user friendly, scalable yet economical solutions. Keeping this in mind, Revelo’s open source mobile application is capable of interacting with commercial GIS platforms such as Esri’s ArcGIS, thereby providing users an option to leverage the commercial platforms, save on licensing fees and still take advantage of their investment in those platforms.
So, Revelo provides users a choice between ArcGIS Server/ArcGIS mobile and ArcGIS Server/Open source mobile combinations.
Revelo provides configuration of geofences for surveys, thereby preventing fraud and ensuring data was indeed collected on location (web and mobile apps). Thus data collected becomes more reliable.
Revelo provides standard map tools which includes standard analysis and viewing tools such as:
Revelo provides
Revelo provides one canvas to visualize the large amounts of data and convey information in a way that’s more powerful than just words. Revelo gives modern visualization tools for better analysis of your data, making complex data visually rich yet easy to understand the context. It also helps to discover and communicate meaningful patterns in your data.
The better you understand the data, the more you can learn. With Revelo, you can get even more information by enriching your locations with additional data.
Revelo’s real time analytics engine builds up a realistic picture of the state of the Survey, in form of charts, graphs etc, and also allows Survey owners to start asking questions to the data for Report generation and making decisions.
Revelo provides a facility to generate data reports of the existing and newly collected data. The end user accessing the web application will be able to choose any layer and attributes from that layer, and generate a report in Excel, DBF or text format.
