Cartegraph vs Adept AI

About

Cartegraph is a Dubuque, Iowa-based government asset management software company founded in 1993 that was acquired by OpenGov in 2021. The company provides operations and asset management software for local governments and utilities to manage their physical infrastructure including roads, bridges, sidewalks, parks, water and sewer systems, and fleet equipment. Cartegraph helps governments extend the useful life of infrastructure assets and optimize maintenance spending.\n\nThe platform includes asset inventory management, work order management, preventive maintenance scheduling, and capital planning tools. It provides GIS-integrated maps of infrastructure assets that allow operations staff to visualize asset condition, schedule work orders geographically, and track maintenance history. Cartegraph also offers mobile apps for field crews to access and update work orders from the field. As part of OpenGov, Cartegraph is being integrated into a broader government operations and financial planning platform.\n\nCartegraph targets public works departments, parks and recreation departments, and utilities at cities and counties that need to manage large inventories of aging infrastructure. It competes with IBM Maximo, Infor EAM, and GIS-based asset management tools from Esri. Following the OpenGov acquisition, Cartegraph benefits from integration with OpenGov's financial management system, allowing governments to connect capital asset management directly to budget planning and financial reporting.
