- BG-BASE to ArcGIS Real-Time Sync
Mobile First Design
Blue Raster understands the importance of using an application at the source. For public and staff workflows that often is outside amongst the gardens and collections. Whether designing an experience for an App Store application or a mobile browser, how the application functions in a mobile setting is key. Blue Raster designs and develops powerful yet intuitive applications optimized for mobile use.
BG-BASE Synchronization, Field GIS and Real-Time Workflows
BG-BASE
Blue Raster works with multiple gardens to implement a live sync between BG-BASE and ArcGIS. Using the API developed by BG-BASE, certain plant record updates or new accessions appear in GIS immediately. Using ArcGIS Field Maps, changes to plant location, condition or measurement information can be pushed to BG-BASE directly from the field. This reduces data entry in multiple platforms, reduces error in entry, and allows data to be live in both systems in real-time.

Work Order Assignments
For internal use at public gardens and cemeteries, Blue Raster has developed a workflow to capture work order assignments in the field and push on a schedule to ArcGIS Workforce for assignment and completion. Whether it is plant maintenance or monument restoration, assignments on individual trees or headstones, or at the garden or lot level can be created in minutes. Email notifications can be configured based on assignment priority or due date. Related table structure in GIS shows the work order history of a plant or monument.
Real-Time Dashboards
Knowing the status of completed or in-progress work orders at any moment is key insight. Blue Raster can help take your work order assignments and configure ArcGIS Dashboards to filter the records by assignment type, maintenance crew, date completed, and more. Indicators, lists, charts and graphs, along with an interactive map make these dashboards valuable for real-time reporting or generating weekly, monthly or annual reports.
