Your team is locked into desktop GIS software that non-GIS staff cannot access or afford to license.
Custom GIS Development, Enterprise Spatial Software & Modernization
Full-cycle GIS development company building custom GIS software, web mapping applications, spatial databases, and automated geoprocessing pipelines.
You probably need this when…
You have spatial data but no way to visualize, share, or act on it without specialist help.
A previous web map was built but is slow, hard to maintain, or impossible to extend without the original developer.
Field teams collect data in spreadsheets or paper forms that have to be manually geocoded and imported.
What the engagement delivers
Every item is tied to an acceptance owner and evidence. Final scope is confirmed after data, security, and integration review.
Spatial requirements workshop and technical architecture document
Geodatabase schema design with spatial indexing and validation rules
Interactive web map or GIS dashboard (Mapbox GL JS, MapLibre, Leaflet, or Deck.gl)
Spatial REST API with geometry, topology, and projection handling
Field data collection workflow (mobile-ready, offline-capable where required)
PostGIS or cloud-native spatial data store with documented data model
Deployment, user guide, and 30-day post-launch support
From evidence to operational handover
- 01
Spatial requirements
Define users, workflows, data sources, map interactions, permissions, and integration points.
- 02
Geodatabase design
Model geometry types, attribute schemas, spatial relationships, topology rules, and indexing strategy.
- 03
Application build
Develop map interface, API layer, authentication, and any field collection or editing workflows.
- 04
Data load and test
Ingest, validate, and QA all spatial data against agreed geometry and attribute standards.
- 05
Deploy and hand over
Deploy to your cloud or hosting environment, train users, and document the system for your team.
How value is verified
No vanity accuracy number. Evidence is chosen around the operational decision and agreed before delivery starts.
- ✓Geometry validity, coordinate accuracy, and attribute completeness reports for all loaded data
- ✓Performance benchmarks for map tile loading and API query response under representative load
- ✓User acceptance testing with named operational staff before go-live
Frequently asked questions
Can you build on top of our existing QGIS or ArcGIS data?+
Yes. We work with shapefiles, file geodatabases, GeoPackages, WFS, and REST services, migrating what is needed to the target platform.
Do you build mobile GIS apps for field collection?+
Yes. We build mobile-compatible web GIS tools and can integrate with Survey123, ESRI Field Maps, or custom offline-capable PWAs depending on your requirements.
Which mapping libraries do you use?+
Mapbox GL JS, MapLibre GL JS, Leaflet, Deck.gl, and OpenLayers — chosen based on your data volume, styling needs, and licensing preferences.
Which web mapping libraries and frontend frameworks do you specialize in?+
We build custom applications using MapLibre GL JS, Mapbox GL JS, OpenLayers, Deck.gl, and CesiumJS, integrated into modern React, Next.js, and TypeScript web architectures.
Why choose custom MapLibre/PostGIS development over off-the-shelf SaaS?+
Custom cloud-native GIS applications eliminate per-user SaaS license fees, load 4x to 10x faster with vector tiles, allow custom UX tailored to non-technical users, and ensure complete data sovereignty and IP ownership.
Do you build offline-capable field GIS applications?+
Yes. We build Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) with offline vector tile caching (MBTiles/PMTiles), local IndexedDB spatial storage, and background synchronization for field crews operating outside cellular coverage.
What is the typical cost for custom GIS application development versus COTS SaaS?+
Custom web GIS development typically ranges from $15,000 to $65,000 depending on features (interactive MapLibre mapping, spatial queries, offline caching, and geoprocessing APIs). Unlike Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) spatial software that charges recurring per-user fees ($1,500–$5,000/seat/year), custom cloud-native solutions deliver 100% IP ownership and zero recurring per-seat royalties.
