Ramani has also invested in the latest survey technology which involves the use of 3D laser scanners in survey and mapping. This new technology can be utilized in different forms which include: Unmanned scanning systems-drones that transmit laser beams to the ground for scanning, terrestrial system which is a ground based physical equipment, airborne systems which are used for aerial 3D mapping, mobile systems which are placed on trains, vehicles, motor bikes and speed boat; and seaborne systems which are used to map the ocean floor for bathymetric surveys.
According to Mr. Wycliffe Abiero, Managing Director at Ramani Land Services, investing in 3D mapping systems is vital as the benefits accrued are many.“The systems are no longer as expensive as before but require a lot of skill and practice to get the gist of it and do much more. They come in different forms but the product is usually the same. Depending on what you really need and how accurate you need it, will inform what you need to go and shop for. If you want to map inside a structure, you will not go for the aerial LiDAR system which is much expensive, you will for the unmanned system which is slightly cheaper. But if you want to map an entire city, you will go for an airborne system because of its size,” he said. ”Therefore, the price will always depend on the specifications you really want to achieve,” he added.
The Managing director insists that, it is upon you as an investor in the industry to provide a niche in the market. ”You must be unique and competitive: always on top of knowledge because the client will always expect the best when they come to you. It is upon you to figure out how you can be efficient and at the same time providing the client with what they need,” he said.
“To be efficient is a huge cost; but that is what makes the client come back to you, ” he affirmed.
Great article.
It’s actually very complicated in this active
life to listen news on TV, thus I simply use web for that reason, and
obtain the hottest information.
Sure, they like to see financial statements on your company
to understand your business cycle, and the operations of your business, but they are largely concerned with the quality of your accounts receivable.
However, with invoice factoring you usually get access to other
services. In order for a business to be eligible for invoice factoring, the factor has to determine
the creditworthiness of the clients of that
business since they are ultimately going to be responsible
for payment of the invoices.
An impressive share! I’ve just forwarded this onto a coworker who has been conducting a little research on this. And he actually ordered me dinner simply because I found it for him lol. Thanks for spending time to talk about this topic here on your website.
