Field GIS & Asset Management Workflows
Your Workforce. Connected to Live Data
Field GIS puts the power of your enterprise spatial data in the hands of the people who need it most: the workers, inspectors, and technicians in the field. Blue Raster designs and deploys mobile GIS workflows using the full suite of Esri field apps, replacing paper forms and disconnected tools with real-time, location-aware data collection.
Whether your teams are inspecting road signs, managing utility assets, conducting environmental surveys, or responding to emergencies, Blue Raster builds the workflows, maps, and integrations that keep field data accurate and instantly available across your organization.
The Mobile GIS App Built For Field Teams
ArcGIS Field Maps
ArcGIS Field Maps is Esri's flagship mobile GIS application, combining map viewing, data collection, attribute editing, and real-time location tracking in a single, intuitive app for iOS and Android. Blue Raster configures, deploys, and optimizes Field Maps for organizations of all sizes, ensuring your field teams have exactly the data, forms, and tools they need, whether they are connected to the internet or working in the most remote environments. Because Field Maps is built directly on the ArcGIS platform, every edit, inspection, and data capture flows instantly into your enterprise GIS, keeping office staff and managers working from the same authoritative source of truth.
Know Every Asset. Every Condition. Every Location.
Enterprise Asset Management
Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) powered by GIS gives organizations a single, authoritative view of every infrastructure asset across their entire service territory. Blue Raster builds GIS-centric EAM solutions that connect spatial data with work orders, maintenance schedules, condition assessments, and lifecycle planning. Whether you manage roads, utilities, stormwater, signage, or facilities, Blue Raster integrates ArcGIS Field Maps with leading EAM platforms including Trimble Unity Maintain (formerly CityWorks), OpenGov (formerly Cartegraph), CentralSquare EAM (formerly Lucity) and SAP EAM to create a connected, data-driven asset management ecosystem.

Virginia Integrated Directional Signing Program
Blue Raster partnered with the Virginia Department of Transportation’s Directional Signing Program (DSP) to modernize management of the Integrated Directional Signing Program (IDSP), which includes over 16,000 signs statewide. These signs help travelers locate gas, food, lodging, hospitals, historic sites, and more. Blue Raster implemented field-first GIS workflows using ArcGIS Online, Field Maps, Survey123, Workforce, and Dashboards, enabling real-time tracking, inspections, and maintenance of all signs while improving data accuracy and operational efficiency.
How We Helped
