Catalis Public Works
One City. One System.
Smarter Asset Management.
GIS-connected lifecycle management for linear, vertical, and fleet assets, without the cost or complexity of enterprise platforms.
Aging infrastructure is a funding problem. Asset data is how you win the funding.

You've outgrown spreadsheets.
You don't need enterprise complexity to fix it.
Municipalities that once said, "we just need a database" now ask "can your software tell us what to fix next, and why?" Managing assets in spreadsheets, disconnected GIS, and reactive maintenance isn't just inconvenient, it costs real budget and puts service delivery at risk.
Where most public works teams are today:
Assets live in spreadsheets: No lifecycle view of condition, maintenance history, or replacement timing.
GIS and operations are disconnected: Your GIS investment maps assets but doesn't drive day-to-day work.
Maintenance is reactive: Crews respond to failures instead of preventing them.
Enterprise Asset Management is overkill: Built for cities ten times your size, at a cost and complexity to match.
Core Capabilities
What You Get
Turn GIS Into Action
Turn your GIS investment into daily decisions your crews actually use.
Prevent Failure
Proactive lifecycle planning over reactive repair.
Connect Work to Assets
Every work order and service request improves asset intelligence.
Defend Every Budget
Use condition and maintenance history to justify investment.
Maximize Resources
Help lean teams do more with what they already have.
"It's a niche for small cities like us, without the budget or manpower for a big, labor-intensive platform. We use it in snippets, like for our fire hydrants, and grow at our own pace."

FAQ
How is this different from just using spreadsheets or our current system?
Asset Management connects GIS, work orders, service requests, and inventory in one system. Everything lives alongside your asset data instead of in a separate spreadsheet.
Do we need ESRI ArcGIS to use this?
Asset Management requires a connected GIS map to function, either the Catalis GIS Webmap or your own ESRI ArcGIS environment if you have one. Asset Management extends that GIS foundation to non-spatial assets like fleet and facilities.
Can it manage non-GIS assets like vehicles and buildings, not just infrastructure?
Yes. This is the core expansion from legacy Infrastructure Management to Asset Management. Full lifecycle tracking for fleet, facilities, and equipment alongside spatial assets, with configurable asset types and attributes per category.
Is Asset Management built for a municipality of our size?
Yes. Asset Management is purpose built for small to mid-sized municipalities, giving you enterprise-grade asset lifecycle capabilities scaled and priced to fit your team, budget, and resources, without the overhead of enterprise platforms designed for much larger organizations.
How long does implementation take, and do we have to migrate all our data manually?
No manual asset by asset entry is required. Customers can bulk import their non-spatial assets via CSV templates, and our implementation teams can help with migrating GIS spatial assets.
Can we create our own asset categories, or are we limited to preset types?
Yes, customers control their own asset types and categories without needing to request changes from Catalis.
How does this compare to other CMMS/asset management vendors?
Catalis is a purpose built alternative to enterprise complexity platforms. Its simplicity and GIS connectivity differentiate it.
What does Asset Management integrate with?
Asset Management connects with Catalis Webmap, ESRI ArcGIS, Request311, Work Order Management, and Inventory Management, giving you one connected system across GIS, service requests, work orders, and asset data.
