Mapistry vs SpheraCloud

Mapistry digitizes environmental compliance workflows for industrial facilities with air, stormwater, wastewater, SPCC and waste requirements. Environmental managers and EHS and operations leaders are among its intended users. Teams can conduct mobile inspections on a tablet or phone, build regulatory maps for SWPPP, hazardous materials, SPCC and emission sources, link maps to inspection forms, and export maps as PDFs. Maple AI can extract information from purchase-record emails, waste-manifest photos, PDF lab reports, sweeper-log scans and welding-log photos. Its REST API connects with hundreds of sensors, data historians and ERP systems, subject to the capabilities of those systems; SAP, Snowflake and AVEVA are named examples. Mapistry says it is SOC 2 Type I certified, stores data using AWS, performs regular backups, and gives customers data ownership and control over access. Essentials costs $10,998 a year, billed annually per location; Advanced costs $18,998 a year, and Enterprise costs $26,998 a year, both billed annually per location. Typical contracts are one year; three- to five-year terms are available at additional discounts.

SpheraCloud Health and Safety Management brings safety data and workflows together, using automation and real-time insights to support organizational safety processes.
