Jakarto

Jakarto is a Montreal company that collects street-level data with its own vehicles, which carry LiDAR scanners and 4K cameras. It delivers that data, and the digital twins built from it, through a cloud web platform called Jakartowns. In the browser, users can view point clouds in 3D, take measurements, geocode objects, and build inventories. They can also upload their own point clouds and imagery, overlay CAD and GIS files, stream data to GIS software, and generate orthoimages for use as basemaps. Beyond the 3D viewer, the platform has a 2D asset viewer, ortho tiles, plugins, and an API. One plugin shows 360° imagery inside ArcGIS Experience Builder. Automated LiDAR classification separates ground features such as roads, curbs, and sidewalks from above-ground objects such as vegetation, buildings, overhead networks, and cars. Ready-made inventories cover road signs, trees, utility poles and overhead networks (including vegetation encroachment), catch basins, hydrants, streetlights, and pavement markings. A pavement module produces a Pavement Condition Index. The main users are municipalities. Jakarto also targets roads, public works, electric and gas, and telecom organizations. It says it has mapped more than 150 cities and works across Canada, the United States, and Europe. Pricing is not published. Work is sold as data-capture projects and services, so buyers have to ask for a quote. The main limitation is that Jakarto is a small data and services vendor, not a maintenance system. It has no work orders or maintenance scheduling, and there is little independent review coverage.
