CartoVistaIn today’s fast-paced business landscape, the ability to make informed decisions in real-time is paramount.
Introduced just a few months ago, CartoVista’s revolutionary live data feature empowers you to leverage live map data, fostering agile decision-making and effortless collaboration.
Let’s explore how this innovation can transform the way your business operate, backed by some compelling use cases.
Connect and Get Updates in Real-Time
CartoVista’s Live Data Stream bridges the gap between static maps and dynamic information by integrating live data updates.
Imagine tracking a fleet of vehicles or monitoring assets or project status. With real-time data flow, your maps become more than just visual aids—they transform into powerful decision-making tools.
Here's How To Enable Live Data
Getting started with live data is effortless. Just upload your data and toggle the “Live Data” switch in the data properties panel.
Any maps that integrate “live data” layers showcase a notification at the interface’s bottom, signifying the dataset’s dynamic nature—constantly updating as changes unfold.
Dynamic Data Changes: User-Driven and Automated Updates
Changes can first originate from end users modifying data in the platform UI.
Changes can also be seamlessly integrated through our versatile REST API, facilitating updates and the creation of new map features in real time.
For instance, this could involve an external Python Script or an ETL tool like FME that effortlessly updates map layers and associated data via standard web services. These automation scripts can either run on a set schedule or be activated by specific actions, offering you flexibility and control over how you streamline your processes.
Real-Time Insights for Strategic Advantage
CartoVista isn’t just about maps; it’s about tapping into actionable insights. By linking to operational data from IoT devices, assets, or vehicles, you gain real-time insights. For instance, optimize delivery routes by tracking traffic congestion, or adjust inventory levels based on live demand signals.
Stay Informed with Instant Notifications
Gone are the days of guessing when data changes occur. With CartoVista’s Update Notifications, you’ll receive user-friendly alerts the moment updates take place right in the map. Be it sudden shifts in market trends or alterations in field conditions, you’ll always be in the loop, ready to respond effectively.
The following is a typical use case of a simple map that shows development projects that are planned for a municipal district.
The map shows the projects using icons (project type) and color (project status).
See it in Action!
With live data, users receive timely updates on project changes. When changes occur in the project data, end users are alerted right in the map. Same goes for new projects additions or deletions.
Team Collaboration with Precision
Collaboration is key, especially when handling complex datasets. CartoVista’s Live Data Update and Collaboration feature ensures seamless teamwork. Imagine editing shared datasets with your team and witnessing changes in real-time.
This isn’t just data collaboration—it’s instant synchronization, making teamwork more efficient than ever.
The following example outlines how team member can witness the changes that are happening in a map. As a map creator is adding a new layer in the map, other users are notified of the changes and also see it in real time.
