Series Overview

Your AVL provider may connect to ArcGIS. CompassCom is built around it.

Big-box AVL platforms were designed primarily to track vehicles. CompassCom was built for ArcGIS.

This two-part webinar series explores why organizations that have invested in Esri ArcGIS need more than a standard fleet-tracking platform with an added GIS connector.

Discover how CompassCom brings vehicles, field crews, radios, sensors, equipment, imagery, infrastructure, and enterprise GIS data together within one trusted Common Operational Picture.

01

Webinar One · ArcGIS Foundation

ArcGIS at the Core — not Another Connector

Why GIS-Native AVL Changes Everything

Many fleet-tracking platforms treat GIS as a background map or an additional integration. That can severely limit how real-time information supports operational decisions.

This session examines the difference between a conventional, fleet-first AVL platform and a real-time operational intelligence platform architected around ArcGIS.

Attendees will see how CompassCom combines live vehicle, personnel, radio, and asset locations with an organization's authoritative GIS data — including infrastructure, routes, facilities, imagery, boundaries, and operational layers.

What You Will Learn

  • The difference between GIS-native AVL and bolt-on ArcGIS integration
  • How to create a true Common Operational Picture
  • How to combine live location data with authoritative enterprise GIS
  • How CompassLDE® extends the ArcGIS environment
  • Integration with ArcGIS Velocity and ArcGIS GeoEvent Server
  • Integration with Trimble Cityworks and Trimble Unity
  • The questions ArcGIS organizations should ask Samsara, Geotab, Verizon Connect, and other AVL providers

Key Message

If ArcGIS is the foundation of your organization, your AVL platform should strengthen that investment — not sideline it.

Webinar Two · Operational Environment

From Dots to Decisions

Connecting Fleets, Crews, Radios and Assets in One Operational Environment

AVL should do more than show where a vehicle is.

It should help organizations coordinate resources, verify completed work, improve response, protect personnel, manage critical assets, and make better operational decisions.

This session demonstrates how CompassCom connects multiple networks, devices, and operational systems within one secure environment — supporting both everyday field operations and mission-critical response.

What You Will Learn

  • How to connect fleet vehicles, field crews, mobile workers, radios, sensors, cameras, and equipment
  • How to integrate LMR, cellular/LTE, satellite, and off-network communications
  • How to improve dispatch, situational awareness, service verification, safety, and accountability
  • How to support snow operations, emergency response, utility work, field coordination, and critical infrastructure
  • How to choose between cloud SaaS, secure on-premises, and mobile tactical deployments
  • How to move from basic fleet tracking to enterprise operational intelligence

Key Message

Big-box AVL tracks fleets. CompassCom connects the entire operation.
