In the transportation industry, complexity is unavoidable without modern transit asset management solutions. Cities and transit agencies manage vast networks of assets — vehicles, rail infrastructure, power systems, signage, platforms — all handled by different departments, each often relying on different tools.
The result?
Disconnection. Redundancy. Delays. Risk.
When asset data lives in silos and departments operate independently, it’s impossible to deliver truly efficient, reliable and safe transit services. Visualizing assets is one thing — but managing them intelligently, in a way that connects planning, operations and maintenance — is something else entirely.
That’s where integration becomes essential. Transit operations need a unified transit asset management ecosystem.
Moving beyond basic transit asset management
Many agencies today use GIS platforms to visualize their networks and understand spatial relationships. Others rely on enterprise asset management (EAM) systems to track asset conditions and schedule maintenance. But when those systems are disconnected, teams can’t act with full context or confidence.
True operational intelligence only happens when both systems are fully integrated and working as one modern transit asset management solution.
That’s what HxGN Mass Transit and HxGN EAM deliver.
A smarter, connected solution
The integration of HxGN Mass Transit (a purpose-built GIS for public transit asset management) and HxGN EAM (a robust EAM system) allows agencies to manage every part of the transit lifecycle within one platform.
This unified solution provides:
- Enhanced visualization and monitoring: See every asset in its physical context and current state on an interactive GIS interface
- Deep asset intelligence: Plan and execute maintenance using real-time data, risk scores, lifecycle status and condition indicators
- Cross-departmental coordination: Ensure planners, field technicians, maintenance managers and operations teams all work from the same data
- Faster, more informed decision-making: Real-time syncing and data validation reduce errors, delays and manual processes
- Comprehensive lifecycle management: Track and manage every asset from installation to retirement with full transparency
Built to work as one
Unlike bolt-on integrations, this transit asset management solution is natively connected — HxGN Mass Transit and HxGN EAM are designed to operate as a unified ecosystem. At the heart of this is a high-performance integration platform that ensures:
- Seamless data flow and transformation between systems
- Real-time processing and validation
- Centralized management and visibility
That means no duplicated data, no manual syncing and no misaligned workflows.
Why integration is no longer optional
Transit agencies today face increasing pressure to modernize, cut costs, improve uptime and deliver on sustainability goals — all while managing aging infrastructure and tight budgets.
In that environment, disjointed systems just don’t cut it.
With HxGN Mass Transit + HxGN EAM, agencies get:
- One ecosystem, total visibility
- Cloud-based scalability for growing networks
- Location-aware intelligence built into every asset and decision
- Security and compliance designed for critical infrastructure
This isn’t just software. It’s a strategic shift — from fragmented systems to fully integrated transit asset management operations.
