Common land access and acquisition challenges

Common land access and acquisition challenges

Struggling to keep agreements and commitments organized

Agreements with landowners and land access conditions are often stored across multiple systems, making it hard to find accurate information and increasing the risk of inconsistencies or damaging relationships.

Missed deadlines and obligations

Without a structured system, payments, compensation, or commitments can slip through the cracks, damaging trust and exposing you to compliance risks.

Lack of visibility across teams

When land negotiations and approvals aren’t tracked in a shared platform, teams operate in silos leading to delays, duplication of work, or miscommunication with communities.

How can Borealis land access and acquisition software help you?

Why integrate GIS with your engagement, land access, and social investment activities?

Land access and dialogue with landowners is just one part of the bigger picture. Successful projects require coordination across multiple business functions such as community outreach, land management, engineering, governmental affairs, and risk and issues management.

With Borealis, you get one connected system that brings GIS-based land data together with stakeholder engagement, grievance management, and social investment programs.

Increase efficiency – Overlay engagement records, grievances, and agreements on project maps to quickly spot trends, risks, or areas requiring attention.

Enhance social investment – Link Community Benefit Agreements and Indigenous Benefit Agreements directly to mapped land data to track commitments and tailor programs by location.

Support governmental and regulatory affairs – Use map-based filtering to identify assets by jurisdiction, engage relevant officials, and manage permitting or safety-related communications with confidence.

Strengthen issue and grievance response – Monitor complaints geographically to identify hotspots, understand community impacts, and ensure timely, transparent resolution.

What do our customers say about Borealis?

“Maps allow the team to show members of Congress exactly what CN infrastructure is found within their district borders. Being able to speak with this level of specificity is a significant asset and builds credibility and trust with key officials.”

– Public Affairs Advisor, CN 

“I needed a system that could give me landowner data, last record of contact, and damage releases signed, show me where activities related to outreach efforts and integrity work were going on, and also track regulatory commitments and emergency contacts. Companies choose systems to try to focus on different aspects of a project, but usually can’t find one solution that works for all their needs. We worked with Borealis to make sure the software would let us do everything we needed to do with a single tool.”

“Just trying to realize the amplitude of the work – what you need to do, who to talk to, what reports you have to create can be very difficult. Borealis has helped with that. It gives us the ability to plan and populate tasks into the future in a clear, reportable way, which is not something I anticipated in a CRM. Traditionally, that has been separate, and it’s an advantage to be able to see what we have done in the past versus what we plan to do in the future.”

– Community Engagement Manager

“Before adopting Borealis, generating a line list for a project was a time-intensive task due to fragmented data across legacy systems and spreadsheets. For major projects, this process could take 4-6 hours, depending on the size and complexity. Since implementing Borealis, the same task now takes only 15-30 minutes, thanks to centralized and authoritative data. With Trans Mountain executing approximately 300-400 projects annually, ranging from small maintenance tasks to large-scale operations, these time savings add up to a substantial impact on overall efficiency.”
