How does it work?

Our team will work with yours to determine which project tools you consider important in your day to day resource management. Virtually any part of your operation can be integrated into your customized version of IPCConnect. Digitize your contractor or in-house crews daily site sheets so that you can visualize, download and print reports in real time. Track chemical usage and costs on a daily basis.

Create maintenance tools on your handheld device to eliminate costly down time while in the field. Use it as a data collection tool designed for running transects, gathering plot data, or taking photo points, capturing all the information needed to create a detailed report all in one mobile device. The options are endless.

While this tool is optimal for reporting critical data that will be utilized to control invasive species, it’s not just for plants; IPCConnect can be customized according to the desired specifications of your project.

Each project may have various protocols according to the results required. With IPCConnect, the land manger can manipulate the input parameters based on the protocols. For example, when gathering invasive plant data the administrator first sets up the data fields. Once in the field, the collector chooses a plant species from a drop-down menu and verifies the plant identification from the photo and plant description. If it is a positive ID, the collector can create a photo point, enter the density level, the estimated acres, etc. With all the data collected in your smart phone or tablet, it can now be uploaded via a 3G/4G network or WIFI to your customized, password protected web interface.

What you get…

IPCConnect is dynamic and changes according to the needs of the user. This smart tool can provide species lists, time stamps, photos, maps (.kml that can be imported to .shp), individual species points, area polygons, species population area or of the entire survey or work area, infestation density, and other valuable data.
