A practical guide for Local Authorities, agencies, and partners who need better visibility of their assets and programmes. Why the status quo is under pressure Local services are pulled in two directions at once. Demand climbs while resources stay flat. About 55% of the world’s population already lives in urban areas, and this is...

Many projects still run on PDFs, spreadsheets, emails, and chat photos. Maps arrive as exports, not as a living source of truth. This slows approvals and drives rework. GIS Cloud fixes the gap with a real-time live map, zero install, and predictable pricing so anyone on the team can collect, see, and report from...

You do not need another platform. You need one live map that everyone trusts. When field updates appear instantly for the office, and office decisions reach crews in minutes, projects move faster, site visits drop, and reviews stay on schedule. The pains AEC teams face today Most AEC teams still juggle point tools. Field...

Adopt real-time maps for construction and utilities to align field and office on one live source of truth. Start small, scale fast, and see ROI with GIS Cloud.

Ahead of Chicago Build 2025, we sat down with GIS Cloud CRO Andrew Loveless to discuss how real-time insight turns field data into actionable decisions, linking inspections, as-builts, IoT, and stakeholders on a single live map. If you’re weighing schedule, cost, and quality this quarter, his workshop “From Site to Skyline: Real-Time Insight for...

Civil engineering covers various disciplines, from impressive structures to critical water distribution infrastructure and sensitive environmental resources. Each of these play an important role in society. Failures in either could have a devastating impact on society and the environment. Properly constructing and maintaining these assets is essential. Let’s explore how GIS Cloud...

GIS is a powerful tool being used worldwide. Maps have become an effective tool for communicating information to people. In recent years, maps have been frequently used to show the widespread pandemic and the impacts of natural disasters. Maps and GIS communicate with minimal losses in translation about what is happening, where it...

Managing vegetation is crucial for the utility industries, especially for the power and electricity sector. Negligence to maintain vegetation results in destructive wildfires, and dangers of tree falling hazards on utility infrastructure. This brings considerable expenses to the budget and economic loss for both power companies and end customers, not to mention liability issues...

Hydrology databases make it possible to map, track and observe water resources. Monitoring and modelling the data is essential in creating a sustainable system for managing the public water supply. Having to find and track down needed information manually is inefficient and unreliable, especially when taking into consideration that all assessments and analyses are...

The crew from Global Code Technology successfully finished the field data collection of infrastructure, land use and property in less than two months. It was a project for the Zarcero Canton that needed to get their housing census database in order. The housing census enabled the canton to plan infrastructure projects more efficiently, like...

We wanted to find out what is the greatest problem geospatial experts face when trying to share raster maps or drone imagery. So, last year we held a poll for a crowd of GIS power-users. Take a look. The poll from last year’s webinar about sharing rasters. More than 50% of...
