After working in local government for over six years alongside some truly amazing colleagues, I saw firsthand how powerful GIS can be when used the right way. It’s more than just maps—it’s a tool that helps communities make smarter decisions, plan better, and serve their residents more effectively. I started Benchmark GIS to help other local governments experience that same success, even if they don’t have a dedicated GIS department. We're here to make your data clear, your maps meaningful, and your planning smarter.

We’re here to make mapping simple, smart, and useful. Our goal is to be a true asset to local governments—especially those without a dedicated GIS team—by helping them see their data clearly and use it confidently. Whether it’s through detailed paper maps, interactive web apps, or full-service GIS support, we’re all about turning complex information into tools that help communities make smarter, faster decisions.

We’re not just here for one-off projects—we’re in it for the long haul. Our team works as a long-term partner, helping local governments build and maintain strong mapping systems over time. Whether you need ongoing GIS support, updates to your maps, or new tools as your community grows, we’re here to help you stay ahead and make confident, data-driven decisions every step of the way.
