★ Recommended starting point

Geospatial Roadmap

We assess your current GIS environment, interview your team, identify gaps and opportunities, and deliver a clear 1–3 year plan with prioritized projects. The right starting point for most organizations.

Public-Facing Application

A citizen-facing map or app on your website. Report a problem, find a service, locate a facility, view public data. Scoped to your specific need.

Asset or Infrastructure Inventory

A complete GIS inventory of roads, signs, utilities, parks, or other assets with mobile field collection built in. Eliminates spreadsheets.

Dashboard or Reporting System

An operational or executive dashboard showing the data your leadership needs, updated automatically from your existing systems.

Data Migration or Cleanup

Moving your existing GIS data into ArcGIS Online, cleaning and standardizing it, and making it useful and accessible to your team.

Field Operations Workflow

Mobile inspection, work order, or field collection workflow. Eliminates paper and speeds up reporting for public works, utilities, and inspections.

Custom Scope

Every organization is different. If what you need is not listed here, describe it and we will scope it in the same conversation.

Field Capabilities

Drone mapping &
field data collection.

Zanevan operates FAA Part 107 certified UAS pilots on staff to support drone mapping, aerial photography, and geospatial data collection — integrated directly into project deliverables on both the engineering and geospatial sides of the firm.

  • Aerial mapping & orthoimagery
  • Topographic & volumetric mapping
  • Construction progress documentation
  • Asset inspection & inventory
  • Field data capture for GIS layers
  • Site reconnaissance & planning support

A Note on Esri Licensing

We help you navigate it.

Every ArcGIS organization runs on an active Esri subscription, purchased directly from Esri — separate from Zanevan's service fees. We help you choose the program and licensing level that fits your organization's scale and goals, drawing on deep Esri product experience from years inside the Esri ecosystem.

Esri offers a broad range of programs and renewal options, and matching the right one to your operation can take some conversation. That guidance is part of every engagement — so your subscription aligns with the outcomes you actually want to achieve.

Not sure where to start?

Most organizations begin with a Geospatial Roadmap.

We come in, understand your operation, and give you a clear plan — what to do, in what order, and what it will cost. You walk away knowing exactly what your GIS program should look like and what it takes to get there.
