Cost estimation
Optimizing project costs with precise forecasting
Financial unpredictability is a significant issue for network planners. Pathfinder’s cost modeling tools transform budget management with precise forecasting and cost analysis capabilities, including CAPEX, cost per layer, and cost per kilometer, which cater to the unique financial aspects of infrastructure projects. It not only reduces the likelihood of budget overruns but also offers potential planning cost savings, making financial oversight more robust and predictable. This array of models provides users with the flexibility to generate more accurate financial forecasts. They can significantly reduce project planning costs by up to 20%, ensuring their budgets are managed effectively
Working together with the Gilytics team is a great experience. Pathfinder gives our team a comprehensive overview of different line options which makes the overall process more efficient and helps us to better manage project costs.

Enhanced transparency
Crystal-clear transparency for better communication and project acceptance
Pathfinder counters the opacity often found in infrastructure projects with its collaborative platform. Traditional methods of presenting projects, like static images, may not sufficiently convey complex information, so the stakeholders may find it hard to access clear and actionable insights. By facilitating a transparent decision-making process, Pathfinder dismantles the barriers that lead to distrust, conflict, and social opposition, ensuring that each stakeholder has a clear view into project developments
The 3D Decision Support System improves public involvement in grid expansion projects because it quickly computes alternative routes for new power lines. It makes line planning more efficient and more transparent which may lead to a better acceptance of the projects.

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.
