Successfully Scrapped Google Maps Data within a Stipulated Timeframe
with complete accuracy for a US-based snow removal service providing company.
The company is a leading snow removal service provider located in Alaska, United States. The company has been providing the service since 2002 across multiple locations in Alaska. Because of its excellent service, it has become a favorite vendor of many clients across the United States. The company offers diverse forms of snow removal services under different climate conditions.
Presently, the company wants to expand its working horizon toward the northern states of the US. Before launching the business on these sites, the company wanted to map the location using the Google Map scrapping process. However, it is just a snow removal company so it needs access to the right tools to scrap Google Maps. Hence, the company decided to outsource the Google Map scrapping process from us. We, AskDataEntry, convinced the client with our exclusive demo work and signed the deal.
Importance of Google Map Scrapping for Snow Removal Companies
With the right application of Google Maps, snow removal companies accurately locate the exact place. They can expand the scope of their services by covering multiple aspects using Google Maps. With the help of data analysis methodologies, these companies can accurately place their target areas. Besides that, map scrapping is the right method for examining competing companies that provide the same services in the same locations.
The process of Google Maps scrapping is a complex process that includes multiple aspects of analysis. The data scrappers analyze geospatial data of different locations on Earth to understand the climatic conditions. Therefore, with the application of the right map strapping methods, snow removal companies can have all snowfall-related data at their disposal. These companies can predict which areas can have more snowfalls in the coming season. Therefore, they can promote their services in those specific locations accurately to expand their scope. With the help of Google Maps scrapping services, snow removal companies can have all these amazing benefits.
Challenges Faced by the Company
After getting the idea of service expansion in the Northern zones of the US, the company hired a small team. The team was comprised of expert map scrapers who were available at that time. The company involved the team in regular day-to-day operations and delegated them with map scrapping services. With limited knowledge, the team started the work but it welcomes multiple challenges. Some of them are like these;
The task of Google Map scrapping involves different variations of work and complex files. It needs constant attention and accurate inspection regarding the coordinates of the map. However, the internal team of the company was not intelligent enough to handle the complexities of the project. Therefore, they commit basic mistakes like coordinate mismatch, wrong data input, and many other things.
Besides having proper knowledge, the application of the right tool is essential to scrap Google Map locations. The company did not have the right infrastructure to include the right tools for this process. On top of that, the company had a limited budget for this project so it could not spend on tram training. Hence, the internal team worked without the application of cutting-edge technology in this project.
Lack of skills and application of proper tools, the delivery of the project got delayed unnecessarily. Even though the team worked at their full pace, the process got delayed for many days. Thus, the project implementation plan was automatically postponed from the company’s end. This caused a major problem on the company’s end in initiating its plan further.
The project is related to Google Maps and weather conditions thus it needs frequent changes. However, the internal team of the client is not efficient enough to deal with the frequent changes at all. Rather, they committed several mistakes while performing all the small changes in the project. Therefore, the client was looking for a solution to get rid of all these issues and make the process smooth.

By following the same nature of work, we initiate this project with the application of our best tools. The ways we followed for this project are;
After being impressed by the demo project, the client provided us with a short training. They also provided us with some e-books of their estimated projects to understand how they work. Also, the client permitted us to use Go iLawn for this project and also asked us to use other geo-mapping tools. After the completion of the training session, the client demanded the trial project from us. By adhering to the instructions, we delivered the trial project to the client directly.
We used different tools for scrapping the map data thus we had to set parameters first. Each software has its specific parameters for performing the job regarding Google Maps. By following these parameters, we ensured complete accuracy in this project. Added to that, it helped us in mapping the exact locations and measuring their details accurately.
After deciding on the tools and setting the parameters, we immediately moved to allocating the resources. We formed a team of 10 members to handle this project who were from different backgrounds. Each of the team members possessed specific knowledge about the map scrapping process and they have done similar projects before.
For this specific project, we provided 24/7 support to our client and handled their queries. As this was a long-term project thus we maintained the support continuously. We fixed the weekly delivery of all our projects and ensured their timely execution. Added to that, we kept a buffer time for quick changes, if needed for this Google Map scrapping project.
