Mapping a Smarter Future with NSDA:  How Gridbase Empowers Special Districts Nationwide

Trusted by local governments nationwide, NSDA Business Affiliate member and formerly named iamGIS,  Gridbase delivers modern mapping and asset management tools that strengthen special districts. 

"Our business partners, like Gridbase, play a vital role in supporting our members—over 10,000 special districts nationwide," said Ann Terry, President of the National Special Districts Association (NSDA). "When we unify technology innovators with the essential work of special districts, we become stronger together."

More than 325 cities, counties, and special districts use Gridbase, a cloud-based platform that tracks infrastructure in real time, manages assets, plans work orders, and tracks inventory in one place.  Here are two examples:

Why Berkeley Water Chose Cloud-Based GIS
Berkeley Water and Sanitation District needed a user-friendly platform for all staff levels. With Gridbase, they gained centralized asset management in real time—scheduling maintenance faster, tracking compliance effortlessly, and making data-driven decisions with decades of infrastructure history at their fingertips.

Lakeside County Reduces Emergency Repairs with Gridbase
Lakeside County Water & Sewer District consolidated infrastructure data into a single platform, improving preventive maintenance and reliability. Field crews now access work orders from mobile devices, reducing emergency repairs and response times while automated compliance tracking strengthens operational efficiency.

With their bi-directional Esri ArcGIS integration and mobile field data collection, districts respond faster as residents report issues like potholes or water leaks directly from their phones or tablets. Gridbase consolidates disparate systems into one solution with full data ownership, transparent pricing, and comprehensive support. Even agencies without existing GIS data benefit from Gridbase’ digitization services to convert PDF, CAD files, and as-builts for special districts.

Building the Future of Local Infrastructure
Gridbase continually evolves to meet modern local government demands. As districts face increasing challenges, Gridbase stands as a trusted partner helping leaders build smarter, safer, more sustainable communities.
