The partnership will see Freedom Group integrate Esri’s geospatial solutions to enhance its capabilities in planning and delivering critical infrastructure
Esri is the company behind geographic information systems (GIS) mapping software, ArcGIS. ArcGIS connects data through the context of geography, providing world-leading capabilities for creating, managing, analysing, mapping, and sharing data.
Freedom’s partnership with Esri is a key part of its 2030 digital strategy by providing advanced mapping services, simulation analytics, and visualisation tools. The technology will enable better collaboration, enhance safety, reduce site visits, and improve delivery quality across the project lifecycle, whilst also supporting net-zero commitments.
A more sustainable future with GIS
Craig Evenden, head of architecture, engineering & construction at Esri, said: “We are thrilled to collaborate with Freedom to unlock the transformative potential of GIS across new frontiers.
“This partnership highlights the growing importance of location intelligence in shaping a more connected, efficient, and sustainable future. In the UK’s engineering sector, the integration of GIS offers immense opportunities.
“As the industry embraces innovation and data-driven solutions, our joint efforts stand to accelerate progress, improve decision-making, and deliver smarter, more sustainable outcomes for communities”.
