We want to transform firefighting.
We are on a mission to arm fire and emergency services agencies, utilities, and first responders with big-data solutions to manage R3™ Risk – Response – Resilience.
Our Purpose
Intterra was born from the belief that there is a better way to get data and information to those working on the frontlines. To meet that need, our team specializes in creating comprehensive, actionable intelligence in a common operational picture tailored to the specific needs of fire, public safety, utilities, insurance, and emergency services clients.
With our GIS and map-based software solutions for R3™ Risk – Response – Resilience, Intterra works with organizations of all sizes to visualize, prepare for, respond to, and recover from small- and large-scale events and support their day-to-day operations.
The right data, the right people, the right time. That’s the Intterra promise.
Our mission is to bring focused, SaaS and cloud-based workflows and services together in one accessible location so you have the information that you need – when you need it. Together, we make communities stronger, safer, and more resilient.
Our Partners
We partner and integrate with some of the premier providers in the industry to provide you with a seamless, best-in-class workflow.
