Our Work
We enable our clients to fully capitalize on the role that location plays in their business.
On-Call for Cities & Counties
Reliable Partners and Team Extenders for City & County Departments & GIS Teams
Gartrell has active professional services engagements with many counties across the U.S. For some, we are just getting started, others we have counted as customers for more than two decades.
In all cases, we enjoy the opportunity to know and support the valuable work of local government. We enjoy complementing the expertise of our clients by providing strategic guidance and planning support, offering cloud enablement services for local GIS systems, or helping to design and implement applications, integrations, automated workflows, and other technical innovations.
Port of Portland
Renovated Strategies for the Next Phase of GIS at PDX
We have recently completed two related strategy engagements for the GIS Team at the Port of Portland. This is an exciting time at the Port, which has very recently unveiled the stunning outcome of a $2B+, capacity-doubling renovation that stands out as the world's largest mass timber project. It’s an exciting time for GIS at the Port, too, which is being ‘called into the enterprise’ to offer next-generation capabilities to an expanding client base and a growing technology portfolio that demands geo-integration.
Cloud Managed GIS Infrastructure for Municipalities
Resilient, performant GIS platforms that restore focus and joy
Most GIS professionals are working at the uncomfortable edge of their skillsets when they find themselves trying to administer servers, tune geodatabases, configure subnets, or when they get stuck in crazy-making battles with software patching and upgrades. Gartrell has decades of practice, a credentialed team, and a robust toolkit of resources and methods to help municipal GIS practitioners get back to the work they are trained for and enjoy. Do what dozens of other cities are doing and take a little dose of our civic platform therapy - feels good, makes those headaches go away!
Texas Department of Transportation
Visualizing ADA Compliance in the Context of a Map
ADA compliance is a critical mission and requirement for DOTs large and small. It’s also a topic that can be served immensely and comprehensively through the aid of map-based visualization. Gartrell is supporting TXDOT by designing, building, and supporting a GIS-integrated application focused on the ADA compliance status of every intersection in Texas.
Seattle City Light
A GIS Platform for the Environmental Affairs Division
We provide ongoing GIS support services to Seattle's public electric utility. Our work together has included performing user needs assessment, strategic planning, designing and implementing a state-of-the-art Geographic Information System and adapting a suite of Esri-based software tools optimized to support specific users and workflows.
