Forerunner - Your Floodplain Management Platform
About Forerunner
Forerunner is a specialized software company that provides floodplain management solutions to government agencies across the United States. The platform is designed to help municipalities manage floodplain compliance and better understand their flood risk. Forerunner's software integrates data from local permits and utilizes Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping to streamline workflows, making it easier for agencies to meet their compliance obligations and reduce the administrative burden. The company operates in the public sector, primarily serving local government entities responsible for floodplain management. Forerunner's business model is based on a subscription service, where clients pay for access to the software and its features. Revenue is generated through these subscription fees, which are likely tiered based on the size of the municipality and the level of service required. The platform also aids in excelling in FEMA's Community Rating System, which can help communities reduce their flood insurance premiums.
