Government agencies and local public works, planning, emergency management, and compliance teams that need a geospatial platform to manage municipal operations and risk workflows

About Forerunner

Forerunner is an AI-powered, geospatial operations platform built for local government and public sector teams to centralize data, automate workflows, and manage field and office work from a single system. It unifies municipal data such as parcels, infrastructure assets, environmental layers, inspections, permits, historical activity, and hazard information with configurable workflows and map-first tools, giving agencies a “single source of record” for inspections, maintenance, compliance, enforcement, emergency response, and community programs. It supports real-time mobile field tools for on-site data capture, photos, and task updates, even offline, and integrates GIS layers with operational workflows so teams can see context-rich maps and coordinated activity from the office or the field. Forerunner includes AI-assisted summaries, recommendations, and automated next steps to reduce manual work, and capabilities like automated mailings, structured document generation and validation.
