Schneider Geospatial builds GIS-based software for government, one of the largest GovTech solutions companies in the United States. Founded in 1962 and headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, the firm works across parcel management, permitting and licensing, asset management, cloud-based workflow management, agricultural land assessment modelling and disaster damage assessment. Its systems hold and process geospatial and administrative data at scale: more than 1,000 local government clients across 34 states, covering over 20% of counties in the United States and reaching more than 32m citizens a year.
The product line spans several distinct problem domains. Beacon / qPublic.net publishes local government information on the web. GeoPermits is a cloud-based permitting and workflow management solution. Agland supports agricultural land assessments, and IDAM handles disaster damage assessment. Work touches municipal, county, state and federal government, the agricultural sector, emergency management and private entities.
Engineering problems at the company tend to sit at the intersection of spatial data, public records and high-volume citizen-facing services, where parcel, permitting and asset-management workflows must be modelled accurately and served reliably.
The company has been named to the GovTech 100 for four consecutive years and is a two-time Mira Award winner. Its stated mission is to make government more transparent, efficient and citizen-focused.
