Case Study: Barrick Gold achieves efficient, transparent community resettlement with Trimble Landfolio

Efficiently manage all aspects of the relocation and resettlement of communities whose land has been acquired for extractive purposes with a single integrated solution

Trimble’s Landfolio (formerly FlexiCadastre) helps extractive companies manage land rights and community resettlement. When a new mine opens or an existing footprint expands, companies must fairly compensate and relocate affected people, ensure livelihoods aren’t diminished, accurately survey and value land, manage housing construction and payments, and track relocation status — a complex process with significant financial, operational and reputational risk.

Landfolio delivers a single, integrated solution that combines GIS mapping, entitlement calculations, workflow-driven processes, contractor and payment management, and searchable historic records and reports. The result is streamlined resettlement administration, tighter financial control and forecasting, better fulfilment of social obligations (and improved community relations), and clear audit trails — benefits already realized by major users and deployments worldwide.
