What is beacon?

Beacon™ is an interactive public access tool that allows users to view county/city information, records and GIS (Geographic Information Systems) via an online portal.

Designed to fill the gap between web-based GIS and web-based data reporting applications, beacon combines both features into a single, hybridized web application that is user friendly and designed with our client’s needs in mind.

Quick Facts

  • Beacon has been implemented by over 100 organizations in 7 states
  • Beacon saves organization staff an average of 25 hours of office and phone traffic every day
  • Beacon lowers GIS implementation costs and licensing fees
  • Beacon provides 24/7 information access for the public and internal users
  • Beacon can integrate virtually any database pertaining to land records and more

Why use beacon?

By making information available on the internet through beacon, counter-traffic is greatly reduced, while customer service is considerably improved. Offering this information online allows users to complete tasks on their own time rather than having to rearrange their schedule to coincide with courthouse hours of operation.

Beacon is different from other online property record applications because it is module based. This gives you the ability to choose which features you need your beacon site to provide. Each feature can be turned on or off depending on the needs of your community.

Is it for your organization?

If you value getting more from your investments for little cost, beacon is for you and your organization. Even if you do not have a GIS, beacon can help make other public information available to users by integrating public databases pertaining to assessment, CAMA, tax, real estate, cemetery records, document management, utility billing systems, and more.

Due to our experience and number of knowledgeable staff, Schneider can set up your beacon site in as little as 2 weeks, compared to months. Schneider can get your beacon site set-up and online so you can begin drawing value from it immediately.
