City of Cupertino, CA
VESTRA contracted with the City of Cupertino to provide a comprehensive GIS Master Plan. With a good foundation in place, the City was looking to cast a vision and develop a strategy for how GIS could better serve the City by improving how it is used, implemented, leveraged and integrated as a technology and be highly visible within the organization over the next five years. VESTRA helped the City with a detailed roadmap and a phased implementation plan to meet City goals such as enhancing GIS service delivery with improved efficiency and effectiveness, expanding GIS accessibility and use, achieving a greater level of integration of the GIS with the City’s business systems, provide better support to City business processes, increase organizational awareness, visibility and department sponsorship for GIS, and implementing best in class GIS technology.
City of Columbus, OH
VESTRA worked with the City of Columbus to create a custom widget (Advanced Reporting Widget) developed using Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS. The widget helps users automate reporting workflows with reports generated in PDF format. The tool performs a spatial drill down to generate custom reports with information from multiple map layers.

Beef Tracker
VESTRA was contracted by the National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA) to develop the BeefTracker utilizing Esri’s ArcGIS Online web mapping platform as the core foundation for development. The objective of the BeefTracker was to design, develop, and implement a location-based solution for ranchers to document sustainable land practices and to demonstrate that beef production fits within a sustainable ecosystem. The BeefTracker utilizes the latest web-based Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology, and was designed to provide a robust, but easy to use interface for data collection, editing, and reporting.
The initial design and testing of the BeefTracker was based upon input from NCBA’s project team and a select group of volunteer rangeland researchers and ranchers in various parts of the U.S. The input from the project team and volunteers provided great insight into current livestock operation activities, and how the information entered into the application could be used to demonstrate, and to improve operations over time. Keeping this initial design group small allowed VESTRA’s development team to focus on building core functionality that demonstrated how ranchers could utilize and benefit from GIS technology.
