The FME Platform
FME isn’t a single tool, it’s a platform where each component plays a specific role in your data integration lifecycle. Together, they provide a unified, no-code environment for building, deploying and operationalising data pipelines across your enterprise.
AUTHOR
FME Form
No-Code Authoring Environment
FME Form is the no-code authoring environment where data workflows are designed and tested. In Form you connect, inspect, validate, transform and enrich data from disparate systems and formats, all without writing scripts. It provides debugging, versioning and visualization tools so teams can build workflows efficiently. Once workflows are ready, they can be published for automation and reuse.
DEPLOY
FME Flow
Orchestrate and Automate Form Workflows
FME Flow is where your Form workflows are operationalised and automated. It enables enterprise-grade scheduling, real-time triggers, API-driven execution, and automation at scale, whether on-premises, in the cloud, or in a hybrid environment. Flow handles everything from routine batch jobs to event-driven integration pipelines.
EXPERIENCE
FME Realize
Connecting Live Enterprise Data for Mobile
FME Realize extends the FME Platform into spatial computing and Augmented Reality (AR). It connects live enterprise data including digital twins, infrastructure networks, asset models and IoT streams and places it in the context of the physical world on mobile devices. Field teams and mobile workers can visualise, interact with, and even update data on-site.
Success Stories
Powered by Locus Expertise
Full Control of a critical data pipeline
Wellington Electricity relied on daily retailer files to keep their network records accurate but inconsistent formats made automation a real challenge. Partnering with Locus, they built a fully automated FME Flow pipeline that now runs daily with no manual touchpoints and no third-party dependencies.
90% Faster Data Processing
NZTA, Waka Kotahi was spending a full day manually downloading, compressing and sending photo attachments for newly installed network devices. By integrating FME into their survey workflow, that same process now runs in just five minutes.
The Locus Team and FME delivered the most efficient solution, by a long shot. It’s released us from highly manual processes, given us cleaner data, and built confidence in the accuracy of our reporting
50% Faster Biosecurity Reporting
Auckland Airport handles over 18 million passengers a year, making biosecurity monitoring mission-critical. Manual inspection reporting was slow and eating hundreds of GIS hours annually. By partnering with Locus and the help of FME and Esri automating the workflow, they cut manual effort in half.
Real Time freight visibility across the rail network
KiwiRail operates 900 freight trains a week and handles 18% of New Zealand's imports and exports. Manual GIS updates were taking hours every time a disruption hit. Using FME, they built a live freight disruption dashboard eliminating manual overhead and keeping freight moving.
60% Faster Water Data Requests
Auckland Council was taking up to 10 days to fulfil water resource data requests, a manual, approval-heavy process serving a city of 1.7 million people. By automating submissions, approvals, and data delivery with FME and Esri, that turnaround is now just 3–4 days, with better service and no manual bottlenecks.
The dashboard, powered by FME has reduced manual effort and improved operational efficiency in the handling of major event data by more than 30%. Where we had previously relied on multiple sources of disparate data, we now have a single source of real-time intelligence.
FME Form FAQs
What is FME Form used for?
FME Form is the desktop environment where you design, test, and run data integration workflows. It supports hundreds of formats and connects spatial, business, and cloud data sources without writing code.
What is the difference between FME Form and FME Flow?
FME Form is where you build and test workflows on the desktop. FME Flow automates and schedules those workflows at scale on a server. FME Flow Hosted is the hosted version of FME Flow. Locus can advise on which combination suits your infrastructure and budget.
Do I need coding experience to use FME Form?
No. FME Form is a no-code platform. Locus training and implementation are designed so GIS analysts, planners, and non-developers can build and maintain workflows without scripting.
What industries does Locus work with?
We work primarily with government agencies, councils, utilities, transport operators, engineering consultancies, and environmental agencies across New Zealand.
Can Locus help if we are already using FME?
Yes. We support existing FME users with workflow reviews, performance optimisation, migration to FME Flow or Flow Hosted, and up-skilling through our training courses.
