This document describes how Savills, a commercial real estate company, improved their planning application monitoring process for a client, the UK Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO), using geographic information systems (GIS). Originally, Savills staff manually searched planning records across multiple local authorities, taking 1-2 days per week per person. Their new GIS-based system automatically scrapes planning data weekly, analyzes locations, and produces customized reports and maps. This new process identifies relevant applications, classifies them by affected property, Savills office, and DIO area. It saves Savills 800-900 working days per year while maintaining the same level of service to their client.
