Case Study: 407 ETR achieves faster, real-time mobile asset management with Hexagon's Safety, Infrastructure & Geospatial Division

407 ETR Uses Mobile GIS Solution for Road Network Management

407 ETR, a privately operated 108 km open‑access toll highway in Ontario, faced fragmented, outdated asset-management systems that didn’t connect information or support mobile field crews. To provide on-the-fly updates and a single source of truth for inspectors, 407 ETR engaged Hexagon's Safety, Infrastructure & Geospatial Division and implemented GeoMedia Smart Client.

Hexagon's Safety, Infrastructure & Geospatial Division delivered a bi-directional, geo-enabled mobile solution (deployed in about 4.5 months) that unified asset data into one user-friendly interface, removed paper workflows, and extended GIS capabilities to non‑technical field staff. The solution improved data accuracy and real-time sharing and produced measurable gains — for example, an 8,000-sign inspection that previously took roughly four months was completed in five weeks.
