WHAT WE DO






WHO 
What we do
All organisations have information where location is important. We help those organisations understand the where, why, what and who of that information. We help a vast range of clients in almost any industry you can think of to better manage their business. We have some of the most experienced industry consultants in New Zealand, many with international experience. Our reputation has been earned for professionalism, excellence, quality, technical innovation and results-driven solutions. We are ISO9001-accredited and our strong project management culture ensures projects are managed in an efficient and cost-effective way. We are proud of not only our record, but our leadership in this growing sector of business.

Our business is centred on 3 key areas - DATA, SOFTWARE and PROFESSIONAL SERVICES. Whether you just need one of these core offerings, or require a more rounded solution, our service is predicated on offering a total solution, a one-stop-shop to your business needs.

DATA
Create profit from your existing data.

80%+ of business data has a strongly geographical element. Critchlow can help you unleash the potential of this information. We can show you how to integrate your data onto a digital map either at desktop level or as an enterprise-wide solution, making information easier to analyse. Analysing it in this fashion illustrates patterns, relationships, trends and opportunities in your data that cannot otherwise be seen without viewing it from a geographic perspective. We can even help you gain additional benefit from integrating external data with your own. Some of the data we provide which may offer benefits when integrated with your own include -
  • The best data in New Zealand covering the road network through our product NationalMap2
  • NZ address coverage
  • Business-to-business data
  • Census data - comprising income, occupation ethnicity and more - all by meshblock area or scaled to suit
  • Buying propensity databases
  • WorldMap.

SOFTWARE
Critchlow act as business partners for global software leaders including MapInfo, Exa-min, Emergency Services integrators, MapText and EmerGeo. Our consultants work alongside our specialist Client Directors to ensure that any solution we provide is tailored to meet your specific business needs. We offer solutions as simple as desktop applications right through to highly complex enterprise-wide systems.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
We have a team of highly skilled IT consultants working closely with clients and their IT providers to implement effective business solutions. Moreover, the team's skill-set covers all of the major application development languages and Oracle databases, as well as defined project management methodologies.

We offer companies with one-off projects or who have limited ongoing work the ability to take advantage of these consultants as and when business needs demand. This service is often much more cost-effective than installing in-house mapping applications and/or acquiring the specialised skills required to undertake complex projects. Our consultants deliver projects ranging from standard geographic analysis through to geocoding and customised map production.

An important part of our total service offering is the emphasis we place on training and support. Our solutions can be, by nature, complicated and we pride ourselves on no-nonsense tuition to our customers as well as access to informative user groups. Our freephone helpdesk for ongoing support and assistance with future developments and troubleshooting offers further peace of mind.

Simply put, we believe in a total solution to business problems which takes our customers from problem identification right through to ongoing service delivery.
