Industry Challenge
The Aging Infrastructure Crisis
America's infrastructure earned a "C" grade in 2025 — the best since 1998, but still mediocre. With 46% of assets over 40 years old and a $3.7 trillion funding gap, every maintenance dollar must work harder.

"iFactory transformed how we manage our 127 bridges and 485 miles of roads. The predictive analytics identified 8 bridges that needed attention before our inspectors flagged them. We saved $2.4M by catching deck deterioration early."
RM
Robert Mitchell
Public Works Director, County of Jefferson"The mobile app changed everything for our field crews. Bridge inspections that took 4 hours now take 2.5 hours, and all the photos and condition data go directly into the system. Our FHWA audit was a breeze — inspector said it was the best-documented system he'd seen."
LP
Linda Patterson
Bridge Program Manager, State DOT"We used iFactory's capital planning tools to build our 10-year CIP. The scenario modeling helped us convince the city council to fund preventive maintenance — showing them the $12M savings versus reactive repairs. Budget approved unanimously."
