3D
3D models
3D turns a plan into something you understand at a glance: how a building will look, what can be seen from a hill, and where a height restriction runs.
- City scene
- Line of sight and viewshed
- Height restrictions
- Planning visualisation
LiveOne map site for every department

Live on ArcGIS · new app in developmentThe traffic committee, from request to decision
SIGNYX runs a traffic committee in one place: requests, plans, map-based sign planning, meetings, decisions and disabled parking. Live on ArcGIS today.

CLIMYX is HAMMER's upcoming urban heat-island and street-level comfort tool, built on our heat-mapping work and a Kiryat Yam pilot. Concept stage.
Service & support
Support that doesn't stop at installation
A GIS succeeds when people actually use it. So our support runs like a survey traverse: station after station, and each one is closed before we move on.
-
Consulting and scoping
We learn the data, systems and processes you already have, and agree together on what needs to happen and what success looks like.
-
Setup and implementation
We set up the system on your infrastructure, connect your existing layers and fill in what is missing.
-
Training
Role-based training, from occasional viewers to layer editors, with a user guide in Hebrew.
-
Ongoing support
Answers in Hebrew from the people who built the system, controlled version updates, and the option to roll back.
-
Development and growth
When a new need comes up, we add a tool, a layer or a dedicated app, built on what already works.

FAQ
What municipalities ask us
What does HAMMER GIS do?
HAMMER GIS is an Israeli GIS company that works mainly with local authorities and public bodies. We build GIS software (HAMMER CITY, CADabra, SIGNYX, CLIMYX and SEE.GMMA), run field surveys and aerial-imagery mapping, and support teams through setup, training and day-to-day use. One partner, from the field to the system.
Do your products work with ArcGIS?
Yes. HAMMER CITY is built on ArcGIS and runs on your own ArcGIS Online organisation, with the sign-in and permissions you already have. CADabra publishes layers to your ArcGIS Online and exports a package that opens in ArcGIS Pro. We build on your existing investment rather than replace it.
How do we engage you: quote, tender or pilot?
Whatever process fits your authority and the scope: a price quote, a public tender or a focused pilot. We provide the documents your procurement file needs, and if you already have a specification, we're happy to review it with you before it goes out.
Can we start with a pilot?
Yes, and it is often the right first step. One neighbourhood, a main street or a single layer type is enough to see the result on your own data. You decide on the next step with something real in hand, not a slide deck.
Where is our data stored?
With HAMMER CITY your layers stay in your own ArcGIS Online organisation, and the app itself is hosted on Google Cloud in a separate environment per customer. CADabra is also hosted on Google Cloud. CAD files shown in HAMMER CITY are read in the browser only and are not stored on a server.
Who owns the data?
You do. The data you give us and the survey deliverables belong to your authority and are delivered in open formats. HAMMER CITY runs on your ArcGIS Online, so your layers stay in your organisation, independent of us.
What training and support do we get after go-live?
Role-based training, at your offices or online, and a full Hebrew user guide for HAMMER CITY. Support is in Hebrew, directly from the people who built the system. New versions are released in a controlled way, with rollback if needed. Support scope and response times are set in the agreement.
Are your systems accessible under Israeli Standard 5568?
We build to IS 5568 level AA, which is based on WCAG 2.1, and publish an accessibility statement for every system. HAMMER CITY offers full keyboard navigation, skip links, text resizing, high contrast and a way to stop animation. Its statement says openly what already conforms and what is still being worked on.
What do you want to move forward in your organisation?
Tell us in one sentence. We'll come back with good questions and, if it fits, a focused proposal.
