Understanding Collaboration

It represents a secure environment for uniting multi-disciplinary teams, bringing everyone connected with your project onto the same page, through a simple, intuitive interface.

Project owners/administrators can add collaborators at any point in project development, working with them in real-time, as though everyone is at the same table.

Collaborators can communicate via comments using the comment tool. Comments allow anyone with the right permissions to leave in geographically contextual feedback on different scenarios and engage in interdisciplinary dialogue, both for communication within a team, or with different stakeholders and even the public through Engage .

True real-time collaboration

Every change that you or your colleagues make is updated and synchronised in real-time across everyone’s devices. With real-time collaboration, it's important to know that work will never be lost -- particularly in a collaborative project where different editors can overwrite each others' work. Podaris gives you full control over the project's revision history, letting you roll back changes in specific areas, without affecting the rest of the project.

The ability to see revisions instantaneously, and to comment, or even modify another user’s revisions yourself, represents a profound upgrade to traditional workflow models.

Asset Management and Sharing

All our users also benefit from a secure database for organisational assets, visible to permitted team-members only and accessible via the homepage. Complete projects, transport infrastructure and georeferenced imagery can be shared between permitted team members, removing the need to email or convert files between team members and ensuring that changes to your files are automatically synchronised across the team.

Plugins, integrations and data Interoperability

Podaris is designed to support integration with a variety of existing third-party tools. For more information, please see our page on plugins and integrations, here.
