Locations

Overview

Location management helps your organization maintain an authoritative record of key addresses and physical sites. Users can enter addresses through an integrated interface with a Google Maps preview and fine-tune coordinates for accuracy, ensuring precision and consistency across modules that require location data.

Common examples include New York Office (the headquarters for the North America region), Frankfurt Data Center (a core infrastructure site in Europe), and Remote Warehouse (an auxiliary site for logistics and inventory).

Core Functionality

We provide a central place to manage addresses and geospatial data with clarity and precision. Users can enter an address, view it on an integrated map, and fine-tune coordinates for exact placement. This supports operational, compliance, and incident response workflows.

Locations can be referenced across assets, risks, policies, and other modules, ensuring all teams rely on a consistent source of truth for physical addresses and related geodata.

Changes to locations are instantaneous, updating across all linked modules. The system maintains an audit log for full traceability.

Fields Explained

Export and Import

Locations can be exported and imported from the platform. An export will provide a CSV with all fields, including related metadata. The import does not require all fields. The following is an example of a minimal CSV file:

slug,name,address
new-york-office,New York Office,123 Main Street, New York, NY, USA
frankfurt-dc,Frankfurt Data Center,MesseTurm, 60308 Frankfurt am Main, Germany
remote-warehouse,Remote Warehouse,456 Industrial Road, Dallas, TX, USA

Best Practices

• Use clear, descriptive names for each location to support easy identification across modules.
• Ensure addresses are accurate and validate placement with the integrated map preview.
• Fine-tune latitude and longitude when precision is required (e.g., for incident tracking or compliance inspections).
• Regularly review and update location records to keep information consistent across your organization.
• Apply location data to improve filtering and reporting across assets, risks, and policies.

For example, your New York Office location can be entered with the address 123 Main Street, New York, NY, USA. Latitude and longitude can be fine-tuned in Expert Mode to align precisely with your building’s coordinates, ensuring all linked modules reflect accurate geospatial data.

Our platform ensures that when locations are used, the data remains clear, consistent, and precise, supporting operational excellence and compliance across your organization.
