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.
Working with Locus
We believe in partnerships built on straight talk. Here are the answers to the questions we hear most.

Our mission is to transform your data silos into a foundation for confident, long-term decisions.
Connect with an ExpertWhy choose Locus as an FME partner over a standard software reseller?
Because we aren’t just selling you a license and a manual.
Locus are New Zealand’s FME specialists. The Locus Advantage means you get direct access to Certified Trainers and consultants who actually understand the nuances of IT environments, setting you up for long-term independence, not just a one-off sale.
How do you ensure our team is capable of managing these solutions long-term?
We don’t just train users; we build industry-leading FME professionals.
Through formal and bespoke training, available both in-person and virtually, we focus on building your internal capability to maximise your FME investment.
