Basemaps, Geocoding, Routing, Coffee; How GIS Improves L&I Inspections
Track: Logistics and Manufacturing
Authors: Winston McKenna

The Department of Labor & Industries is developing a new application that creates customized travel routes for our electrical inspectors. By making it easier and faster for our inspectors to drive from site to site, they will be able to complete more inspections in a day. The application leverages geocoding, routing, and customized basemaps to create the individual staff routes. Last year our staff performed over 195,000 inspections; using the new application, they expect to complete many more.
