GIS Excellence with Avolve and Esri Canada

Our strategic partnerships have played an essential role in establishing Avolve as the global leader in electronic plan (ePlan) review. Collaborating with leading software and service providers allows us to deliver exceptional solutions to the Canadian communities we jointly serve and support.  

Collaborating since 2022, one of Avolve’s standout partners is Esri Canada, a distinguished services provider specializing in enterprise GIS-mapping software (ArcGIS) and implementation of Trimble Cityworks for local and regional governments throughout Canada. Esri Canada’s comprehensive approach to government technology prioritizes client-centered and public friendly solutions all the while enhancing and supporting local community development processes across permitting, planning, bylaw code enforcement, and business licensing verticals. 

I asked George Mastakas, Chief Growth Officer at Avolve what he thinks of this alliance: “The cornerstone of effective consulting for local government is active listening and responsive engagement. Esri Canada distinguishes itself through exceptional consultative practices, recognizing that their role is to identify and implement solutions that directly address their customer' specific challenges.” 

Client-Centered Consulting Philosophy 

A core tenant of Esri Canada’s offering is their embodiment of a consultative partnership in the purest form, recommending and implementing integrated solutions based on government organizational needs above all else.  

“Esri Canada offers organizations access to expert advice and insights drawn from our extensive implementations and services across Canada. We are a value-add for customers, so when we identify solutions that benefit our existing customers, we are excited to share – it is part of our core consultative responsibility that is built into our customer-centered approach,” - Christopher Roth, Industry Manager, Public Works Solutions, Esri Canada.  

This philosophy has brought together the power of Esri Canada and Avolve to serve the Canadian market, introducing our solutions to numerous government organizations that can benefit from enhanced electronic plan review capabilities. 

GIS-Centric Expertise  

Esri Canada's deep roots in GIS technology give them a unique perspective on mission critical government technology needs. This expertise allows them to understand how various solutions can work together to create more efficient, integrated systems for their government customers. 

Their focus on GIS-centric solutions complements Avolve's direction in 2025 and beyond, as we continue to enhance our own GIS capabilities, creating natural alignment between our organizations to benefit the organizations we jointly serve.
