We are using Cartegraph to empower data collection and work management across three departments: Road & Bridge, Facilities Management, and Waste Compliance. We continue to see more potential applications of their software platform.

Cartegraph continues to improve their mobile and web-based software based on community feedback, and their support is top notch.

Cartegraph is GIS integrated, but not as GIS-centric as it could be. Storing more of the data directly in GIS and enabling collection and manipulation from the GIS side would be a useful improvement.

We now track all of our service requests in a single system, are setting service levels and tracking our performance, and have been able to schedule almost all of our preventive maintenance programs in one system. If we need to change something, it's a super simple process, and Cartegraph OMS has a lot of power for a system that focused on configuring not customizing.

Cartegraph OMS is easily one of the most user friendly CMMS/Service request/work order systems on the market. The fact that it so cleanly integrates with your GIS data is a huge plus. The Cartegraph One app is easy to use in the field and now allows for offline editing where cell coverage is spotty. The support staff are very helpful and really care about solving your problems. Overall Cartegraph is a great company to work with and they have a system that's easy to administer, configure and integrate with other systems.

If you're looking for a system to meet all of your asset management needs, and work mostly with vertical assets in a 3D environment, you may not find everything you're looking for. There is a new integration that improves management of vertical assets, but it's not out of the box.

The organizations experience with Cartegraph has been challenging. The system is not the easiest to use due to the many different components and constant upgrades that sometimes is hard to keep up. However, with the use that we have had with it, we have improved tracking of vehicle maintenance costs and are implementing other maintenance tracking to assist with budgeting.

Although the product is not easy to use because there are many components to it, once you understand them it get easier and more beneficial. I like that the software has the ability to set triggers through automations. However, creating automations can be tricky sometimes. The asset component is very beneficial to track tasks and maintenance.

The most frustrating thing that continues to be a headache is the integration with our public facing work order software, Accela. The software's do not communicate well with each other. There are many glitches and a lot of data is lost due to this.

We have been very pleased with the overall experience. Customer Service with Cartegraph is very good, and they are just as invested in your success as you are.

Part of what drove us to select Cartegraph initially was its ease of use for field staff. Success with asset management starts with good data in the field, and only with that clean data, can admin successfully evaluate programs and changes. Cartegraph was always supportive, and the customer service is top notch. Now that we've been up and running for several years, the automations are proving extremely valuable as our next steps in the software environment.

Cartegraph can be tailored to any process that you have. But this also means that you're going to want to assign a lead admin to keep on top of consistency of approach throughout multiple departments. This is probably true of any asset management software, it won't run itself.

Upon my first introduction to Cartegraph, I was immediately impressed with what's possible in regards to the supporting GIS integrations. It is easy to create a locally stored asset recordset (feature class) along with the needed attributes structure (schema), something that would be maintained solely out of Cartegraph. It is equally as easy to create a full or a partial GIS integration, something that would sync the geometry, or the geometry + schema between GIS feature classes and Cartegraph recordsets. Such flexibility is valuable, especially in the organizations where multiple user-departments have varying needs and outputs.

I continue to appreciate the far-ranging usefulness of the Structure, Automation, and Asset Condition Managers. From setting our own impacts on the assets' depreciation curves to creating and maintaining our own attribute structures, in Cartegraph everything is designed to deliver the utmost flexibility and efficiency. Everything has been thought of, even something as simple as customizable asset detail layouts that are a vital first step to data quality, as well as the driver behind the simplified end user interfaces.

I genuinely have no answer to this question. The only thing I could possibly add is that the Reporting module is a little too complicated and is unlikely to be fully utilized by all the users in the organization. The complexity of the module is nothing a skilled administrator could not overcome; plus, any perceived negatives are easily offset by the enormous benefits of consistent data sharing between the departments / divisions. Once built, a comprehensive report can serve a variety of users and can save a significant amount of time.
