Greener Future

Struggling to meet project timelines?

Leveraging comprehensive automation, Pathfinder transforms time-consuming calculations into a swift process, delivering results in seconds. This efficiency significantly enhances project performance, with up to 50% faster execution.

Need to expedite the evaluation of alternative scenarios?

Our bespoke technology and SaaS Platform allows for quick evaluation and differentiation of various route options, effectively navigating the complexities of technology choices and regulatory constraints. The ability to quantitatively compare route alternatives and provide path analytics for KPIs greatly streamlines the decision-making process.

Face challenges with inefficient communication and transparency?

We transform the way you collaborate with stakeholders. With enhanced communication channels and tools for quick conflict resolution, our solution fosters effective dialogue. Pathfinder SaaS brings a new level of transparency, including the ability to post geo-comments directly on project maps.

Seek better control over your cost estimates?

Pathfinder offers multiple and custom cost calculation models, including CAPEX, cost per layer, and kilometre, environmental and other custom cost models. Designed for precision, it provides flexibility to generate more accurate financial forecasts, thereby minimizing the risk of budget overruns and cutting down project planning costs by more than 50%.

Have to deal with social opposition & NIMBY syndrome?

By utilizing 3D interactive navigation, Pathfinder allows you to visualize projects in their actual environments, greatly improving understanding and perception. We further reinforce this by prioritizing transparency throughout the project lifecycle, keeping stakeholders informed and involved.

Project Manager

Pathfinder is a wonderful tool that allows us to search for an optimal route for a new project in a few mouse clicks. On the top of that, its flexibility and visual representation option makes it easy to enter into dialogue regarding alternatives with external stakeholders.

Chief Public Acceptance Officer

We had the great opportunity to test and use Gilytics Pathfinder in our large-scale transmission line projects in Germany. The software is intuitive and offers great advantages in corridor identification and routing, especially if you work with multiple geodata. Gilytics’ Pathfinder definitely speeds up planning processes for several weeks up to months depending on the existing know-how and the project requirements. In particular, for users who do not program themselves, the software represents an enormous benefit, as the nocode environment is easy to handle. So Gilytics’ Pathfinder provides almost every team member with a possibility to calculate corridors as an estimate for optimal routing in planning phases. Results can be visualized, documented and easily exported. This way, team capacities can be distributed much more flexibly, and a lot of time can be saved.
