Case Study: Tetra Tech achieves accurate, real-time field data and faster emergency response with Zerion Software's iFormBuilder (Esri integration)

Tetra Tech helped respond to Flint, Michigan’s water crisis through efficient sampling, surveying and more

Tetra Tech, a consulting and engineering firm supporting the USEPA’s Superfund START program, faced critical data-collection challenges during emergencies such as the Flint, Michigan water crisis. Field teams were relying on pen-and-paper surveys and manual GPS entry, producing unreliable, time-consuming databases that hindered timely response. To modernize field workflows, Tetra Tech adopted Zerion Software’s iFormBuilder platform integrated with Esri mapping tools.

Zerion Software implemented iFormBuilder with Esri Collector to enable real-time, map-driven data capture and dashboards accessible to regional and HQ managers. The solution auto-populated fields, captured metadata, and eliminated duplicate manual entry, producing a more complete, accurate database, reducing time in the field, and improving decision-making and response efficiency. Tetra Tech now uses the Zerion Software solution beyond Flint for air monitoring, inventory, and facility assessments, delivering faster data availability and lower operational overhead.
