The Gartrell Difference
From our people to our process, we do GIS a little differently at The Gartrell Group. We’re geospatial builders, crafters, and guides. We’re not defined by a technology, type of client, or single product niche. GIS is increasingly a system of systems. We apply more than 20 years of learned experience to help our customers find best-fit solutions and achieve new levels of simplicity, stability, and efficiency in their mapping systems and workflows.
Here’s how Gartrell Group stands apart
Nimble, Inventive, Committed
Curiosity and a drive to understand our client’s needs are our guiding stars as we create solutions tailored to their specific requirements and workflows. We’re most satisfied when we witness customers enjoy meaningful advances in their capabilities using solutions we have adapted together.
Focused on Quality
Gartrell is the first in GIS to offer dedicated quality assurance (QA) solutions. We conduct rigorous QA testing on everything we deliver to clients, and also have a dedicated team for QA capable of performing all types of testing.
Esri Partnership
Gartrell has been an Esri partner for 20 years. We leverage our extensive work with Esri technology, our staff’s specialized training, and our close working rapport with dozens of Esri team members for the direct benefit of our customers.
Woman-Owned
We’re a certified woman-owned small business that takes care to build relationships through genuine interest in client needs and strong communication.
QA Services
As the first in GIS to offer dedicated quality assurance solutions, we comprise a team dedicated to performing all types of testing. With a combined 30 years of testing experience across multiple industries, we have the background to build a QA department from the ground up. Already have QA? We can also plug into your existing team and provide improvements and adoption of appropriate test methodologies, tools, and processes to speed up your time-to-market.
We use a 3-step process to identify the best QA strategy:
Detection – We begin with a discovery phase that includes interviews, analysis of current processes, and identification of key points where our services would fit.
Goal Definition – We decide on the QA practices to be introduced, testing tools that make sense, and an overall strategic plan.
Implementation – We implement our QA strategy, work with any existing QA or engineering teams to adopt the defined test strategy, and provide post implementation support.

Featured Case Studies
Seattle City Lights
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.
Port of Portland
Renovated Strategies for the Next Phase of GIS 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.
