In the case of dumping, this information may also include the volume and type of waste (this feature is work in progress), provide them with optimized routes to visit the locations, monitor cleaning processes and operations, provide insights and reporting for your customers and beneficiaries, identify hotspots of contamination and many more options.

The Periopsis Platform provides the flexibility to view the detected points of interest in two ways: List view and Map view.
List View
With the list view, all detections related to your search are listed in a clear, organized format. Each detected point is represented with a block which previews important relevant information. In the case of the dumping service, this information can be the date of the detection, distance from your offices, actual geographical location, and status of the dumping (Reported, Visited, Cleaned).
Map View
The Map View provides a visual representation of your detections, plotted on a map. Each detection is represented by a marker on the map, providing information about the point of interest. Clicking on a marker will display more information about that particular point selected. In the case of the dumping service, this information can be the date of the detection, distance from your offices, actual geographical location, and status of the dumping (Reported, Visited, Cleaned), as well as a button for directions.
You can zoom in and out using the ‘+’ and ‘-‘ buttons on the map, or by using the scroll wheel on your mouse. To navigate the map, click and drag the map to move it around.
You can filter points by their type or date of appearance/detection, depending on the service you selected. In the case of dumping, you can filter based on the operation performed on each detected incident of dumping, i.e. (All, Reported, Visited, Cleaned).
The portal features a comprehensive ‘Statistics’ section that offers a wide range of insights related to the detected points of interest for each service (at this stage, Statistics work mainly for the “Dumping detection” service). The following statistics are available:
- Recent Statistics: Presents points detected during the last 12 weeks.
- Statistics by Year: Presents charts showing weekly statistics per service/category within service (wherever relevant) within the span of a selected year.
- Heatmap: Presents detected points in the form of an incidents’ heatmap. The map displays areas with high detection frequency in a gradient of colors, allowing you to identify hotspots at a glance.
- Current Year Actions: provides visual insights into actions taken during the current year.
