Easy access to GIS information with minimal training.

The recent update to the City of Richmond Zoning map by ViewPro has been very beneficial both in terms of boosting our efficiency and our customers’ ability to get Zoning related information from our website. ViewPro map in conjunction with enCodePlus Unified Development Code Portal is a great tool for staff as well as citizens and customers.

ViewPro leverages their data and ensures its seamless implementation with GeoLocator.

Can the admin add their own Commercial Properties into the database?

Yes. GeoLocator has developed a proprietary tool that will allow the Administrator an ability to create their own commercial properties for Sale and Lease. The tool has the ability to share hierarchical user profile to real estate brokers and professionals who can add the listings while providing full editing access to the Administrator. This proprietary tool provides the city clients an option that requires no 3rd party subscription for commercial real estate data and regain full control of the local real estate listing data.

What is the ownership cost for GeoLocator?

ViewPro’s GIS products including V-Site are designed in a Software-As-a-Service (SAAS) configuration. This allows ViewPro to spread the cost of development across all of their city and local government partners. This results in significant savings and more standardized approach in how various GIS products are designed and offered.

With the support of a few dozen city clients, economic development corporations and agile SAAS platform, ViewPro is continuing to innovate and develop new product features without having to add additional cost burden to our current and future city clients.
