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

 

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

 

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

 

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.

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.

FME Flow FAQs

FME Flow is the server-based engine that runs FME workflows automatically. It handles scheduled jobs, event-triggered automations, real-time data feeds, and large-scale data processing without manual intervention.

FME Form is the desktop tool where you design and test workflows. FME Flow is the server environment that runs those workflows automatically at scale. Most organisations use both together.

You can deploy FME Flow on your own infrastructure (on-prem or cloud) or use FME Flow Hosted, which is managed by Safe Software. Locus can help you choose and set up the right option for your environment.

Yes. FME Flow supports event-based automation, message brokers, API triggers, and scheduled jobs, making it suitable for real-time operational workflows used by councils, utilities, and transport agencies.

We work primarily with local and central government, councils, utilities, transport operators and engineering firms across New Zealand.

Yes. FME Server was rebranded as FME Flow in 2023. If you are still running an older version, Locus can manage the migration, update your workflows, and ensure continuity of your existing automations.
