Simetery

The Institute for Advanced Architecture is pleased to introduce its new cemetery design and simulation software, Simetery. This powerful, user-friendly application provides the public or private cemetery designer of today and tomorrow with all the tools necessary to provide interment solutions for any need.

Simply import your existing cemetery, in any number of standard CAD formats, and you're ready to plan new graves, monuments, and natural objects. Or, if you don't yet have one, Simetery can help you design the efficient, beautiful cemetery you have in mind.

Built on a multi-tiered, fully extendable software architecture, Simetery is the most powerful product of its kind:
- Incorporate the newest monument designs into your inventory the moment they appear on the market.
- Connect directly to your existing 'pre-need' client database, or to funeral homes in order to automate burial appointments and monument transactions.
- Manage your employees' time more efficiently by scheduling maintenance around funeral processions.
- Provide walkthroughs of dozens of burial options to potential customers without having to arrange an appointment.
- Give your customers the opportunity to show you what they want with real time visualization and cost-estimates based on the best, up to the minute, prices.

Simetery has been developed with the most advanced cemetery technologies in mind. There is a growing demand for audio-visual memorials, which will place new burdens on cemeteries to provide reliable and eternal power. The IAA, anticipating this eventuality, has developed a Simetery extension that allows you to plan and maintain solar power grids, which are clean, efficient, and prone to none of the inconveniences of the limited life of batteries.

Similarly, today's cemeteries are ill-equipped to handle the inevitable collision between growing populations and dwindling open spaces. With another extension, Simetery provides the capability to design traditional parks built on a mechanized, subterreanean infrastructure that maximizes land use through packing and storage algorithms. The result? A density exceeding that of any of today's solutions.
