The problem

Government runs on systems that don’t talk to each other. Public Works uses GIS and work order management software. Finance uses the ERP. Capital projects live in project management tools. Permitting has its own system. Each department maintains its own data — and getting a complete picture means pulling from everywhere and reconciling manually.

When you work with contractors, data flows through emails and spreadsheets. When you need to report to leadership or the public, someone builds it by hand. When capital projects complete, getting asset data into your operational systems takes months.

The solution

Aquifer connects the systems government departments and agencies actually use. Sync your GIS with your ERP and asset management. Share project data with contractors without custom integrations. Bridge the gap between capital projects and ongoing operations.

Integration Hub for government

GIS ↔ ERP

Keep ArcGIS in sync with your financial system. Asset records, work orders, and budget data flow between systems. Update an asset in GIS, see it reflected in your ERP automatically.

GIS ↔ asset management

Connect spatial data with your work management system. When field crews update asset status in ArcGIS Field Maps, it flows into your asset management system automatically.

Capital projects ↔ operations

When construction completes, asset data should flow into operational systems. Aquifer bridges project management and GIS so new infrastructure is ready for maintenance without manual data migration.

Cross-department data

Break down silos between departments. Public Works, Finance, Planning, and Operations can all work from consistent data without manual handoffs.

Property & revenue systems

Keep parcel data in sync with your tax and revenue systems. When the assessor updates property records, changes flow to GIS and billing automatically. No more reconciling parcel boundaries with tax rolls manually.

Exchange for government

Agency ↔ contractor

Share project requirements, specifications, and GIS data with construction contractors. Receive progress updates, as-built data, and invoices back — directly into your systems, not through email attachments.

Multi-contractor capital programs

On large capital programs with multiple contractors, Exchange routes data to the right parties automatically. Each contractor gets the data they need without access to data they shouldn’t see.

Inter-agency data sharing

Share data with other jurisdictions, regional agencies, or state systems. Each agency controls what they share and maintains their own systems.

Contractor as-built to operations

Contractors submit as-built data through Exchange. It flows into your GIS and asset management systems in your format — ready for operations when construction finishes.

Analytics for government

Operational reporting

Replicate data from ArcGIS, your ERP, and your asset management system into your data warehouse. Build dashboards for leadership without manual data collection.

Capital program reporting

Combine project data from contractors, internal systems, and GIS into unified capital program dashboards. Track spend, progress, and completion across all projects.

Public transparency

Get operational data into your warehouse where it can feed public dashboards and reporting portals. Report from live data, not stale exports.

Where Aquifer changes the day-to-day.

Patterns we see at almost every customer in this industry — and what changes when the systems connect.

UC.01 Asset data sync
Before

GIS team updates asset locations. Finance updates asset records. Someone reconciles quarterly — or never.

After

Changes in either system flow to the other. Asset data stays consistent automatically.

UC.02 Contractor as-built delivery
Before

Contractor emails shapefiles. GIS team reviews, reformats, and imports manually. New infrastructure sits in limbo.

After

Contractor submits as-builts through Exchange. Data flows into ArcGIS in your format, ready for operations.

UC.03 Capital program visibility
Before

Pull data from each contractor, combine with internal data, build report in Excel for council.

After

Contractor data flows into your warehouse alongside internal data. Dashboard updates automatically.

UC.04 Property & parcel data
Before

Assessor updates property records. GIS updates parcel boundaries. Tax billing uses a third source. Discrepancies found during audits.

After

Property data syncs across assessor, GIS, and revenue systems. One update flows everywhere.

Pre-built for the systems government actually runs.
