Schneider Geospatial Adds New England GeoSystems

CLEVELAND & DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Align Capital Partners’ (“ACP”) portfolio company Schneider Geospatial, LLC (“Schneider Geospatial” or the “Company”) acquired New England GeoSystems (“NEGEO”), a Connecticut-based geospatial software and services company serving municipalities throughout the Northeast. As part of the acquisition, NEGEO’s MapExpress solution will be integrated into Schneider Geospatial’s popular Beacon platform, which is used by more than 1,000 local government jurisdictions across 35 states.

“This acquisition represents another step in our vision to build a trusted, GIS-centric platform that is core to how local governments manage property, infrastructure, services and public access to information,” said Jeff Corns, CEO of Schneider Geospatial. “NEGEO advances that strategy by deepening our municipal GIS expertise, expanding our presence in the Northeast and bringing MapExpress into Beacon. Together, we can deliver more comprehensive solutions to the communities we serve while continuing to invest in the people, products and customer relationships that make this work successful.”

For nearly two decades, NEGEO has helped municipalities develop and maintain GIS programs that support planning, public works, assessment, infrastructure management and citizen engagement. NEGEO provides GIS web-based mapping software and services that help local governments improve operations, expand public access to information and make more informed decisions.

Brian Dooley, managing member of New England GeoSystems, will join Schneider Geospatial along with the current NEGEO team. Together, the combined organization will provide local governments with broader access to geospatial expertise, cloud-based technologies and integrated solutions that connect mapping, property data, permitting, licensing and asset management workflows.

"For years, our team has helped Connecticut communities develop, maintain, expand and steward their municipal GIS through changing administrations and technology," said Dooley. "Joining Schneider Geospatial creates new opportunities for our customers and employees by combining our geospatial experience with a broader portfolio of government technology solutions.”

NEGEO marks the eighth add-on for the Company since ACP acquired Schneider Geospatial in June of 2022. Matt Iodice, Chris Jones, Brad Mundt, Andrew Foster and Jason Idoine worked alongside management on the transaction.
