The problem

Energy companies and asset owners operate at the intersection of capital projects and ongoing operations. GIS has the asset locations. The ERP has the financials. Project management tracks construction. Work management handles maintenance. These systems don’t talk to each other — and when you add contractors building and maintaining your infrastructure, data flows through emails and spreadsheets.

Getting a complete picture means pulling data from everywhere and reconciling it manually. Capital projects finish, but the as-built data never makes it cleanly into your operational systems.

The solution

Aquifer connects the systems energy companies and asset owners actually use. Sync your GIS with your ERP and asset management. Share project data with contractors without building custom integrations. Bridge the gap between capital projects and operations.

Integration Hub for energy & utilities

GIS ↔ ERP

Keep ArcGIS in sync with Oracle, SAP, or your ERP. Asset records, work orders, and cost data flow between systems. Update an asset in GIS, see it reflected in your financial systems.

GIS ↔ asset management

Connect spatial data with your EAM or 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/EAM systems so new assets are ready for operations without manual data migration.

Field ↔ office

Field inspections, survey data, and as-built information flow from mobile tools into your systems of record. Changes in the office push back to the field. No more duplicate entry.

Exchange for energy & utilities

Owner ↔ contractor

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

Maintenance coordination

Line crews, environmental response teams, equipment specialists — maintenance involves dozens of contractors. Exchange routes work orders, specifications, and site data to the right contractor. Receive completion reports, inspection results, and invoices back into your systems automatically.

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.

Contractor as-built to operations

Contractors submit as-built data through Exchange. It flows into your GIS and asset management systems in your format — bridging the gap between project completion and operational readiness.

Analytics for energy & utilities

Asset analytics

Replicate data from ArcGIS, your EAM, and your ERP into Snowflake or your data warehouse. Build asset performance dashboards without manual GIS exports.

Capital program reporting

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

Operational reporting

Get operational data into your warehouse where your teams can query it. Build reports 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. ERP team updates asset records. Someone reconciles quarterly.

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 assets sit in limbo.

After

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

UC.03 Capital program visibility
Before

Pull data from each contractor's system, combine with internal data, build report in Excel.

After

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

UC.04 Project-to-operations handoff
Before

Construction completes, then months of cleanup to get asset data into operational systems.

After

As-built data flows from project systems into GIS and EAM automatically. Assets are operational when construction finishes.

Pre-built for the systems utilities & energy actually runs.
