What InfraSolutions does

InfraSolutions is the technology division of McFarland-Johnson, Inc., a privately held infrastructure consulting firm headquartered in Binghamton, New York. Founded in 2017, the company builds and sells the AVIAS™ platform, an integrated cloud-based suite of seven domain-specific modules — AEROCLEAR™ (obstruction analysis), CAPLAN™ (airport system and grant planning), DAT® (dynamic scenario/master-plan analysis), FLOW™ (terminal capacity planning), INSPECT™ (FAA Part 139 inspection and asset management), RUMBLE™ (pavement management), and SITES™ (land development, protected by U.S. Patent No. 9,189,824) — delivered on AWS with ESRI GIS integration. Version 2.0 (2024) added multi-airport operations support, and the AVA generative virtual assistant was introduced to provide natural-language and voice interaction across the suite. Beyond AVIAS, InfraSolutions offers operational solutions (Grant Administration System, MJ Bid Portal, Goal Planning System), custom software development, and UAV/3D visualization services staffed by 12 FAA Part 107-licensed pilots.

The company sells exclusively through a consultative direct enterprise/government sales motion, with subject-specific 'Request a Demo' and 'Request More Information' contact forms as the primary lead capture. Revenue is generated via SaaS subscriptions for the AVIAS suite and project-based professional services for custom software, UAV data collection, and 3D visualization. Customer concentration is dominated by small and mid-sized U.S. airports (Greater Binghamton, Hamilton, GSP, Key West, Niagara Falls, Elmira), state DOTs and aviation agencies, and infrastructure service providers; InfraSolutions also extends its visualization practice to non-aviation public assets such as the Port of Albany. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company benefits from distribution leverage through McFarland-Johnson's long-standing relationships with airport sponsors and government agencies, and maintains a core technology partnership with ESRI for GIS interoperability.

Product overview

InfraSolutions by McFarland Johnson is a technology division offering a platform-plus-modules product architecture centered on the AVIAS™ Platform (Version 2.0), a modernized airport management platform for multi-airport operations. The platform integrates seven specialized modules: AEROCLEAR™ (obstruction analysis), CAPLAN™ (airport system planning), DAT® (dynamic analysis), FLOW™ (terminal planning), INSPECT™ (inspection and asset management), RUMBLE™ (pavement management), and SITES™ (land development). An AI-powered virtual assistant called AVA extends the platform with natural language capabilities. Beyond the AVIAS suite, InfraSolutions provides operational solutions including Grant Administration, Custom Software Development, Bid Portal, and Goal Planning System, along with visualization and UAV services.

Broad incumbents

• Trimble: Geospatial and infrastructure technology vendor with airport and transportation solutions spanning mapping, asset management, and construction. Provides overlapping but much broader capabilities than AVIAS's airport-focused modules.
• SITA: Major aviation IT and communications provider serving airports, airlines, and governments. Overlaps with AVIAS in airport management software but competes at global enterprise scale with much broader product portfolios.
• ADB SAFEGATE: Global provider of airfield lighting, airport operations, and air traffic management solutions. Overlaps with AVIAS in airport operations management and asset management but operates at much larger scale and scope across hardware, software, and services.
• Hexagon Geospatial: Provider of geospatial and GIS software platforms (ERDAS, Luciad) used in aviation, defense, and infrastructure. Competes with AVIAS at the GIS platform layer with broader enterprise reach and deeper analytics tooling.
• Collins Aerospace: Major aerospace and defense supplier with growing airport operations software portfolio (including via AirIT). Competes with InfraSolutions across multiple AVIAS modules at the high end of the airport market.

Direct peers

• DroneDeploy: Cloud-based drone data platform for mapping, 3D modeling, and asset inspection across construction, agriculture, and infrastructure. Directly comparable to InfraSolutions' UAV data collection and visualization services.
• Pix4D: Photogrammetry software for converting drone imagery into 3D maps and models. Competes directly with InfraSolutions' UAV-based 3D modeling and visualization offerings for infrastructure inspection and mapping.
• RESA Airport Management Systems: Specialist vendor of airport management software covering operations, safety, and compliance for airports and air navigation service providers. A close functional peer to InfraSolutions in serving small and mid-sized airport operators with SaaS-style software.
• AirIT (now part of Collins Aerospace): Provider of airport operational databases and IT systems for commercial and regional airports. Closely comparable in targeting airport operations and planning workflows, now backed by the scale of Collins Aerospace.
• ESRI: The dominant GIS software platform and InfraSolutions' core technology partner. ESRI's ArcGIS platform is widely used by airports and aviation authorities for spatial analysis, making it the most directly comparable platform — and a partner that could also compete with AVIAS's GIS-centric modules.
