SAMS Asset Management · Pavement · Work orders · Field data

Every public asset, from field data to funded plan.

CIS collects the data and SAMS Asset Management turns it into decisions. One GIS platform for pavement and asset management, enterprise work orders, and the field and AI tools that keep your inventory current.

SAMS pavement management software on a laptop and a phone: street network colored by PCI with Google Street View and the streets inventory table

250+agencies served
across 41 states

One platform, three products

Plan it, run it, and keep the data current.

The SAMS products share one map and one database, so they work together from day one. Most agencies start with one and add the others as they grow.

A single source of truth

Manage every public asset in one GIS platform.

From the road surface to the water main: configure your own asset types, forms, workflows and dashboards for an agency of any size.

SAMS Core

Model deterioration. Predict the future. Defend the budget.

Build deterioration curves, priority decision trees and rehabilitation trees in a visual editor, then run multi-year analyses with budgets, inflation and carryover. The optimizer weighs every treatment option and picks the mix with the highest return within your budget.

Bulk multi-year analyses with minimum and maximum budgets
Inflation, carryover, planned and historic work
Filter segments by any inventory or inspection attribute
Ask the built-in AI: "What is the projected PCI of Rose Ave in 2030?"

SAMS decision tree editor: arterial streets branch by PCI band to reconstruction, mill and overlay, cape seal or do nothing

SAMS deterioration curve editor for asphalt, with PCI 70 at 25.4 years, 50 at 38.3 and 25 at 52.7

Try it

Age a street and watch SAMS pick the treatment.

This is a real SAMS decision tree and deterioration curve, running in your browser. Choose the surface and road class, drag the age, and the curve predicts the PCI while the tree follows the same branches SAMS does to a treatment and its unit cost.

SAMS EAM · Work orders

From a field issue to finished, documented work.

A fallen tree, a pothole, a knocked-down stop sign: each one becomes a costed, assigned work order linked to the asset on the map. Managers see what is moving, what is waiting on a contractor and what is overdue.

Create work orders from the GIS map, with asset context
Routing by priority, cost or emergency, with SLA timers
Close-out checklists, photos and a locked history
Works offline in the field and syncs when back online

Data collection · SAMS Studio

Objective condition data, checked by engineers.

Our collection vehicles image every lane at posted speed, with no lane closures. AI detects and measures distresses and roadside assets; in SAMS Studio our analysts review the detections and sign off before anything reaches your GIS.

Why pavement management pays

Preserve roads while they are still good.

Timely preservation costs a fraction of reconstruction. Objective data shows where each dollar does the most.

$4–$10saved in future rehabilitation for every $1 of timely preventive maintenance

5–15 yrsof extra pavement life from treatments applied at the right time

10–100×what full-depth reconstruction can cost compared with preservation

95%of SAMS agencies re-run their CIP every fiscal year

How we work

From your goals to a plan your council can approve.

Define goals & needs

Map asset classes, data sources and stakeholders, and agree what success looks like this fiscal year.

Collect or import data

We survey your network, or you upload GeoJSON, Excel or CSV. The import wizard maps and checks the columns.

Model & prioritize

Deterioration curves, decision trees and ranking models in a visual editor.

Run scenarios

Compare funding levels, inflation and constraints. See the gaps and long-term trade-offs.

Publish results

Council-ready reports, interactive dashboards and a public page for residents.

Experience

Trusted by agencies coast to coast.

Questions

Briefly answered.

How fast can we get SAMS up and running?

Upload your shapefile and start planning in minutes. For larger programs we offer a guided pilot for qualified agencies.

Can SAMS plan for all of our assets, not only pavement?

Yes. Pavement, sidewalks, ADA curb ramps, signs, pavement markings and other assets are managed in one integrated platform, with multi-year plans for each.

How does SAMS get the most out of our budget?

The optimization engine evaluates the treatment options for every segment and selects the combination that delivers the highest return within your budget and your agency's priorities.

Where is our data hosted, and who owns it?

Your data is yours, and you control where it is stored. SAMS can be deployed in the cloud of your choice, including AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure.

Do we need ArcGIS Online?

No. SAMS works with your existing GIS data: GeoJSON, shapefiles, Excel and CSV. We help map the columns during import.
