Arcadis Gen

What Arcadis Gen does

Arcadis Gen is a London-headquartered cloud software company that provides SaaS-based asset management and decision analytics solutions for asset-intensive organizations operating in the water, energy, transportation, aviation, rail, highways, and buildings sectors. Formed in 2020 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Arcadis N.V. (Euronext Amsterdam-listed global engineering consultancy), the company serves enterprise and government clients including Northumbrian Water, Severn Trent Water, Icon Water, Electricity North West, Transport for London, Bayside Council, and Fayetteville Public Works Commission with solutions spanning asset lifecycle management, capital investment optimization, and ESG-aligned portfolio decision support.

The company's core product portfolio comprises two enterprise platforms — Enterprise Asset Management (EAM), with vertical sub-modules for water, rail fleet, rail infrastructure, airports, and mobile work execution, and Enterprise Decision Analytics (EDA), with Asset and Portfolio modules for investment planning — complemented by standalone business software products (InvestSmart, Universal Visual Optimizer, Transport Strategy Optimizer, CurbIQ). Underpinning these is the AppliedInsight SaaS marketplace, launched in 2021, which delivers modular cloud applications including Water AI Pipe Predictor, Water Above Ground Optimizer, Electricity Risk Suite, Fleet 2 Zero, and Data Quality tools, all hosted on Microsoft Azure. Technology differentiation rests on over 20 years of proprietary optimization research spanning genetic algorithm and linear optimization methods developed through postdoctorate work and validated by major infrastructure organizations, combined with AI/ML models trained on domain-specific asset datasets.

Arcadis Gen operates a hybrid product-led growth and enterprise field-sales model. Revenue is generated primarily through SaaS subscriptions on monthly, quarterly, and yearly billing cadences sold via the AppliedInsight marketplace, supplemented by professional services for implementation, training, and business-analyst support included with higher-tier packages. Free trials are offered for select apps (UVO, Water AI Pipe Predictor), while enterprise engagements are sourced through demo-booking CTAs and direct contact forms targeting water utilities, energy utilities, transportation agencies, and buildings owners. The company employs 200-500 staff, maintains a headquarters at 80 Fenchurch Street, London, and operates globally, leveraging its parent Arcadis N.V.'s international infrastructure client base for distribution and credibility.
