Geospatial technology has been described as systems that collect and process location-specific data about the Earth. The technologies comprise remote sensing, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Global Positioning Systems (GPS). Based on this, Oil Palm Resource Information System (OPRIS) was developed based on GIS specific functions to enable a complete geospatial data management workflow. It consists of several data layers such as administrative boundaries, soil types, agroclimatic conditions, topography, oil palm landcover, suitability areas, site yield potential (SYP) and others. Initially, geospatial data was digitised from scanned maps and standardised into the same coordinate and projection to allow more data to be overlayed together. Data is presented and integrated into a web map, web apps, story maps, dashboards and applications and mobile. Data can be displayed interactively. Data from OPRIS has been used to map 162 sustainable palm oil clusters (SPOC) and Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil Certification (SPOC), block mapping for agronomic study, pest and disease monitoring among others. OPRIS will be enhanced with advanced server management and more portal application to promote and improve users accessibility.

Sistem Maklumat Sumber Sawit (OPRIS) telah dibangunkan berdasarkan fungsi khusus GIS untuk membolehkan aliran kerja pengurusan data geospatial yang lengkap. Ia telah dikembangkan untuk penyiasatan saintifik, pengurusan sumber dan perancangan pembangunan industri tanaman sawit. Geodatabase OPRIS terdiri daripada beberapa lapisan sempadan pentadbiran, jenis tanah, jenis agro-iklim, topografi, litupan tanaman sawit, kesesuaian tanah dan potensi hasil setempat. Pada mulanya, data geospatial telah didigit daripada peta yang diimbas dan diseragamkan ke dalam sistem koordinat yang sama untuk membolehkan banyak data ditindankan ke dalam unjuran yang sama. Data dibentangkan dan diintegrasikan sebagai web map, web apps, story map, aplikasi dashboard dan penggunaan aplikasi mobil. Maklumat daripada peta dan lapisan data boleh ditimbulkan secara interaktif. Data dari OPRIS juga telah digunakan untuk membantu pemetaan 162 kelompok minyak sawit mampan (SPOC) dan kemajuan pensijilan MSPO, pemetaan blok tanaman untuk kajian agronomi, pemantauan serangan perosak dan penyakit dan sebagainya.
