Browser-based GIS for council teams
Earthlight provides maps and spatial data through a browser so more council teams can use GIS without needing locally installed desktop GIS for every routine task.
Specialist GIS users can still work with desktop GIS where that is the right tool. Earthlight gives wider teams a controlled web mapping environment for viewing, querying, editing and using spatial data in service-specific workflows.
What Earthlight supports
Layer management
Organise and publish spatial datasets so teams can work with the right information.
Spatial editing
Support controlled editing of spatial records, boundaries and operational layers.
Thematic mapping and styling
Present datasets clearly with map styling, thematic views and visual analysis.
Service-specific applications
Create focused GIS applications for departments, workflows and operational teams.
Data access and permissions
Configure access so users see the maps, tools and datasets relevant to their role.
Reporting and dashboards
Use spatial information in summary views, reports and operational decision-making.
Workflow integration
Connect web mapping with case management, documents and address-led processes.
Public and portal options
Support public-facing mapping and customer access where those services are required.
Designed for corporate use
Corporate GIS needs to work across departments without becoming a separate tool for every service. Earthlight can provide shared access to mapping and spatial data while still allowing service-specific tools and permissions.
Gazetteer and addressing
Use spatial data alongside LLPG, LSG and addressing workflows.
Local Land Charges
Support search areas, constraints, property context and map-led checks.
Planning
Use GIS to support development management, constraints, boundaries and public information.
Building Control
Support property, inspection and service data with spatial context.
Traffic Regulation Orders
Connect highways order management with map-led editing and publication.
Data Services
Use hosted OS mapping, addressing and spatial data services alongside Earthlight.
Earthlight and the eVO platform
Earthlight is part of StatMap's wider eVO platform for browser-based spatial applications, data services and case-management workflows.
The same platform approach helps councils connect maps, address data, documents, workflow and public-facing services. eVO Flows can also support configured applications and map-led workflows where a service needs a focused process rather than a general GIS screen.
