Welcome to this weeks blog spotlight! 🔦 There's a new post on the Safe Software blog, and it’s a must-read for anyone working in land administration, government workflows, or CAD-GIS integration!

Why This Matters

Manual plan validation doesn't scale. This blog shows how The Land Title and Survey Authority of British Columbia (LTSA) used FME-powered automation to process nearly 80,000 survey plans with a small team and zero backlog.

Inside the Solution

LTSA manages ParcelMap BC, British Columbia's authoritative cadastral fabric, and tackled the challenge of validating high volumes of survey plan submissions by building a fully automated pipeline on FME Form and FME Flow. 

By mandating standardized DWG file submissions alongside every plan, they created the foundation for automated topology checks, geometry validation, and seamless parcel fabric integration - all surfaced through a clean web portal for surveyors. 

Key Takeaways

The blog post also shares practical takeaways on: 

  • Workspace documentation
  • Performance optimization
  • Gaining stakeholder buy-in

These lessons go well beyond this specific use case.
