Case Study: Stephen R. Braund & Associates (SRB&A) achieves streamlined, real-time offline field data collection in Alaska with TerraGo Edge (TerraGo)

SRB&A Selects TerraGo Field Application for Anthropological Research

Stephen R. Braund & Associates (SRB&A) is an Anchorage-based anthropological survey and research firm that conducts subsistence, wildlife, and environmental studies across Alaska’s remote and harsh terrain. Field crews faced fragmented workflows—paper forms plus disparate hardware and software—lacking a single solution for offline maps, GPS-enabled mobile data capture, polygon mapping, and real-time location monitoring, which hampered safety, efficiency, and data quality.

SRB&A adopted TerraGo Edge notebooks to deliver offline maps, customizable forms, and high-precision GPS on standard devices, with easy App Store deployment and server sync when connectivity returned. The result was a highly customizable, intuitive field workflow with real-time progress reporting, simplified data capture and export in open formats, and faster, more efficient data integration—saving time and reducing manual data cleanup.
