MX alongside GIS

MX alongside your GIS.

Enterprise GIS holds your authoritative spatial data — assets, networks, parcels, basemaps. MX:Spatial uses that data inside operational workflows, and contributes operational geometry back. Spatial reasoning, not just spatial display.

↳ MX complements. It rarely replaces.

MX is not a GIS replacement. It is a spatially-aware operations platform that integrates with — and adds value to — your GIS investment. Many of MX's spatial capabilities only matter because they connect to the authoritative data your GIS already holds.
§ 01 · The role each plays

Where GIS ends and MX begins.

We do not attack the platforms our customers already depend on. We describe what each does well, where each tends to struggle, and what MX adds when it joins the architecture.

01

What GIS does well

  • Authoritative spatial data — assets, networks, parcels
  • Cartographic maps, basemaps, imagery
  • Geospatial analysis and modelling
  • Spatial data quality, lineage, and editing
  • Spatial data publishing and services
  • Geodatabase governance
02

Where GIS tends to struggle

  • Operational workflow — dispatch, work orders, completion
  • Mobile field execution at scale (offline, scanning, forms)
  • Work-asset-people relationships beyond geometry
  • Real-time operational dashboards across non-GIS data
  • Configurable forms and inspections
  • Event-driven automation for operations
03

What MX adds

  • Operational mapping inside work, asset, and forms workflows
  • Generated spatial features from messy enterprise data
  • Location-aware work orders and dispatch
  • Site boundaries walked in the field on a phone — the authoritative shape from the moment they are captured, not drawn later from imagery
  • Asset positions from third-party telematics, with location history
  • Real-time crew, asset, and work visualisation
  • Spatial reasoning connected to permissions and audit
§ 02 · Integration

Common integration pattern

MX:Spatial consumes authoritative layers from your GIS, generates operational geometry, and publishes operational features back where they belong.

§ 03 · Our position

GIS is the authority on space. MX is the authority on operations. Together, they turn spatial data into operational decisions — and operational activity back into intelligence the GIS can hold.
