Know Where Every Asset Is. And What Shape It Is In.
Tracking distributed assets — their location, condition, and maintenance history — should not require a six-figure enterprise platform and a six-month rollout. Mapalyze gives facilities teams and field managers a straightforward way to catalog assets on a map, inspect them with standardized forms, and export everything in open GIS formats.
60% of asset inventories are outdated within 6 months of completion
What a Real Asset Inventory Looks Like
A facilities management team is tasked with inventorying every physical asset across 14 distributed locations — buildings, substations, pump stations, storage facilities, and fenced equipment yards. For each asset, someone needs to record GPS coordinates, photograph current condition, fill out a standardized inspection form, and flag anything that needs maintenance or replacement. Some sites are in urban areas with decent connectivity; others are rural spots where cell signal is spotty at best.
Previously, the team used a combination of spreadsheets, a shared photo folder, and a desktop GIS application. Field staff took notes on paper, snapped photos on their phones, and emailed everything to the office. The GIS analyst manually geocoded assets from addresses or GPS readings scribbled on sticky notes. The resulting inventory was already out of date by the time it was compiled, and matching photos to the correct asset record was a constant headache. When the inspection protocol changed, old forms kept circulating alongside new ones, so nobody was collecting consistent data.
Mapalyze puts field capture and GIS export on the same device, in the same step.
How Mapalyze Solves It
Every Asset Lives on a Map
Field staff capture the GPS point directly on-device the moment they record an asset — no manual geocoding, no address lookups, no post-processing. Assets show up as interactive map markers with all associated data: photos, form responses, inspection history, and condition tags. Managers can view the entire inventory spatially, filter by condition or type, and spot patterns that are invisible in spreadsheets. Learn more about GIS data capture in Mapalyze.
See Deterioration Over Time
Document asset condition with GPS-tagged, timestamped photos captured directly within the inspection record. Compare current photos against previous visits to see whether that rust spot is growing or that fence is finally giving out. Batch upload handles large photo sets in the background while field staff keep working. Every image is permanently linked to the asset record — no mislabeling, no orphaned files floating around in a shared drive.
One Form Template, Zero Confusion
Build standardized inspection templates with drop-downs, conditional sections, and repeatable blocks for multi-component assets. When the inspection protocol changes, update the template centrally. Field teams get the latest version on their next sync — no more old forms circulating. Historical submissions stay associated with the form version under which they were collected, so audits, warranty claims, and regulatory filings stay clean.
Export and Analyze Anywhere
Export your entire asset inventory — GPS coordinates, form data, condition ratings, and photo references — as GeoJSON, CSV, or Shapefile. Load exports directly into QGIS, ArcGIS, or your organization's spatial database. Layer asset data over maintenance schedules, utility maps, or infrastructure plans. Open formats mean your data is never trapped inside a single vendor's platform.
Built for Asset Teams
GPS Point Capture
Record asset locations directly on-device with GPS precision. No manual geocoding or address lookups needed.
Form Versioning
Update inspection protocols without breaking historical data. Every submission is tied to the version under which it was collected.
Linked Photo Evidence
GPS-tagged, timestamped photos tied directly to asset records. Batch upload with background sync. No orphaned files.
Open Data Export
GeoJSON, CSV, and Shapefile. Compatible with QGIS, ArcGIS, and any standards-compliant GIS platform. Included on every plan.
Offline Operation
Inspect assets at remote sites, underground facilities, or anywhere signal drops out. Data syncs automatically when connectivity returns.

A Typical Asset Inventory Workflow
Design your inventory form
Build an asset template with fields for type, condition rating, serial number, photo slots, and GPS capture. Publish it to your field team.
Catalog assets in the field
Visit each site, record GPS coordinates, fill out the inspection form, and photograph current condition. Works offline at remote locations.
Sync and analyze
Data syncs automatically when connectivity returns. Export the full inventory to GeoJSON or Shapefile and load it into your GIS platform.
Simple Pricing, No Hidden Fees
Per-user pricing with no per-device fees. GIS export, offline mode, and photo uploads included on every plan. Scale your team without scaling your invoice.
