What IMS does

ICC-IMS is a US-based pavement management and right-of-way asset management company formed by the 2022 merger of International Cybernetics Company, LP (founded 1974) and IMS Infrastructure Management Services (founded 1985). The combined entity provides integrated infrastructure data collection, engineering consulting, proprietary equipment manufacturing, and asset management software to government agencies — primarily state Departments of Transportation, counties, municipalities, airports, civil engineering firms, concessionaires, and federal agencies — across the USA and Canada.

The company's technology stack combines purpose-built hardware with proprietary software. Hardware includes the largest fleet of LCMS-2 (Laser Crack Measurement System) survey vans equipped with IrisPRO Pave sensors for automated pavement condition assessment, a family of IrisPRO and IrisGO profilers (Every Speed, High Speed, Lightweight, Portable, and Pave variants), SFT locked-wheel and DFT continuous friction testers, and SurPRO reference devices. The $5M Unify software suite integrates data collection (Drive), processing (Connect), and stakeholder-facing analytics (Inform), with adjacent ESA and ESWA products. Equipment is manufactured in the USA at a 15,000 sq ft facility in Largo, FL, supported by a $1.1M parts inventory. All data collection complies with ASTM and AASHTO standards.

ICC-IMS operates a B2B enterprise field sales model targeting public-sector engineering departments. Revenue is generated through three streams: (1) professional services (pavement condition surveys, structural testing, asset inventory, ADA/PROWAG compliance surveys, sidewalk/bike path surveys, GIS storymaps, and presentations to elected officials); (2) equipment sales and rentals of proprietary profilers, friction testers, and reference devices; and (3) software licensing and subscriptions for Unify and related modules. Pricing is quote-based, awarded predominantly through competitive RFP processes with government agencies. Customer relationships are notably long-tenured — Lake County Division of Transportation has held annual contracts with IMS since 1986 — and the company maintains offices in the USA (Largo, FL) and Canada (phone: +1 289-807-4371).
