We design, build, and run public-data platforms — open-data portals, dashboards, GIS maps, and the pipelines that keep them current. Fixed fee, no long procurement slog, and a working demo on your data in about a week.
Most agencies have the data — locked in a legacy system, a stack of spreadsheets, or a vendor export nobody can query. We turn it into something residents, staff, and other departments can actually search, see, and trust.
Fast, searchable public portals over your records — permits, wells, parcels, inspections, licenses, 311. Clean URLs, mobile-ready, no login wall.
Live dashboards for councils, departments, and the public — budgets, performance, service metrics — that refresh themselves instead of a staffer rebuilding a slide deck each month.
Automated pipelines that pull from disparate source systems, normalize the mess, and keep everything current on a schedule — the plumbing behind every portal we ship.
Map-based search and spatial views built on ArcGIS, open geospatial data, and your existing layers — served to the public without a per-seat license.
Consolidate records from many systems into one queryable source of truth, with the mappings documented so your team isn't locked to us.
Move records off aging or end-of-life systems into modern, maintainable formats — without losing history or breaking the public links people rely on.
Before working with any agency, we built and operate a portfolio of large public-data platforms of our own. They're live right now, handling millions of records across dozens of jurisdictions — the same work we'd do for you, already shipped and inspectable.
Searchable public portals over state groundwater-well records — one of them aggregating ~1.4M records from four separate agency systems into a single portal that refreshes itself nightly. County and ZIP pages, per-record detail, deep links.
floridawelldata.com →A clean, searchable layer over FAA registration and NTSB incident data — 314k+ aircraft and 30k+ safety reports ingested, normalized, and kept current on an automated schedule.
tailnumberreport.com →Pipelines that ingest 10,000+ federal solicitations plus state and municipal opportunities, parse them, and make them searchable — the same ingest-and-serve pattern behind any records portal.
govbidreport.com →These are platforms we designed, built, and operate ourselves — shown as evidence of capability, not as government clients. Every one is live; click through and try the search. We're happy to walk your team through how any of them works under the hood.
Most of our engagements land in the $5k–$25k range — small enough to move without a year-long RFP, big enough to ship something real. Larger builds are quoted the same way: one fixed price, one clear deliverable.
An export, an API, a link to your open-data page — even a stack of spreadsheets. We'll tell you honestly what's possible and what it'll cost, in plain language.
In about a week we stand up a working prototype on your actual data — not a slide deck — so you're deciding on something you can click, not imagine.
One fixed fee to deliver. We host it and keep the pipeline current, or hand you the code and docs to run it yourself. Your data, your call.
Tell us what you're sitting on and what you wish people could do with it. We'll reply with a straight answer on feasibility, a fixed-fee range, and — if it's a fit — an offer to build a demo on your data first.
