From public input to planning insight — in one tool

The spatial structure created when you collect is what makes the analysis possible. That’s the part you can’t rebuild later in a spreadsheet.

01
Design

Start from your own site plan

Drop in a rendering, illustrative plan, or campus map and georeference it in-app. Restrict responses to the parcel, and set follow-up questions that fire when someone marks a spot.

02
Collect

Residents mark places, draw routes and areas

Points, lines, and polygons — plus geobudgeting when the project needs real tradeoffs. Browser-based, no app or registration, WCAG 2.1/2.2 AA and ADA compliant, multilingual.

03
Analyze

Linked map and charts — not a spreadsheet export

Heatmaps across point-data questions. Tag and filter map responses. Cut the data by any response condition — income, disability status, household type. Save the view and come back to it.

04
Report

Design-ready data out

Shapefile, GeoJSON, or Excel with coordinates, straight into your design workflow. Charts and maps export as PNG for the client deck.

No manual digitizing or GIS needed

Input automatically lands on your site plan or map.

Traceable, defensible AI tools

AI can draft surveys and reports — you’re always in control.

Mobile-friendly surveys & Project Pages

Get broader, more inclusive reach than in-person engagement alone.

Why not just export it to Excel?

Because that’s where the spatial insight gets dropped — and it’s the slowest part of the report. Most firms analyze engagement data by hand, then hand-place the findings back onto a map.

Instead of
With Maptionnaire
Generic survey tools with no map
Map-based input that produces structured spatial data — not text in rows you have to place by hand afterwards.
Spreadsheets and manual mapping
Linked map-and-chart analysis, heatmaps, and filters on the data as collected. No transcription step, no re-digitizing.
GIS software
Spatial analysis without GIS expertise or specialized licensing — usable by the planners running the project, not just the GIS desk.
Engagement platforms without spatial analysis
Collection and analysis in one tool, because the responses were spatial from the moment they were made.

The difference isn’t a feature — it’s the data. Because responses are spatially structured the moment they’re collected, the analysis is possible at all. Cobbling together a generic survey plus a spreadsheet, or a survey plus a GIS, doesn’t get you there — that data was never spatial to begin with.

This is the most collaborative tool that we could integrate in our design work…. A platform like Maptionnaire allows us to gather tons of data points together and see them at-a-glance.
