As geospatial information specialists, we analyze your individual requirements and challenges and offer a wide range of services tailored to your wishes and needs in the field of processing and presenting spatial data. We attach great importance to quality and reliably support you in operation, maintenance and further development.

Request services

The quality of our work is our highest priority. For this reason, quality assurance is firmly embedded in all departments of our company. To this end, we have implemented a company-wide quality management system that meets the requirements of DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 and is certified accordingly. Our internal quality management representative ensures the continuous improvement of the system and ensures that we meet our standards.

In close cooperation with project management, the development team and the customer, we develop project-specific test management. Its core tasks include:

  • Capture and management of requirements
  • Guidelines for creating testable code and standards-compliant services
  • Support for automated and manual testing tasks
  • Seamless feedback of test results into the development cycle

Our test management is based on strict quality requirements for the development of software applications and services. These requirements are put into practice in close coordination between the test management, the project management and the development teams.

This enables us to meet both our own high standards and the expectations of our customers. At the same time, we are aware that quality is an ongoing process that is continuously and cross-departmentally driven forward in order to develop the best possible solutions at all times.

Consulting

We support you in your projects with advice and consulting on the topics we love and in which we have comprehensive know-how.

Regardless of whether you are taking your first steps with GIS to gain more insights from the available data, whether you are in the middle of a (partial) transformation from proprietary solutions to free alternatives, or whether you want to further develop new geo-ideas with our experts in discourse: Our team has advice, suggestions, networking ideas, experience and, above all, a great desire to focus on your specific use case.

We are convinced that together we can select the OSS components from the diverse cosmos of existing OSS components that represent a viable solution for you. And what does not yet exist, we can develop together!

Our advice is flexible and based on your wishes and ideas. We are available for short and spontaneous assessments as well as for tailor-made workshops or long-term project support. We favor agile and interactive exchange – for example using design thinking – because we and our customers have achieved the best results with it.

Concept & Architecture

Our approach begins with a thorough analysis of your requirements, in which we bring together the core properties of the target system, such as modularity, scalability, user-friendliness, security, performance and flexibility, in line with requirements. We attach great importance to keeping the complexity understandable, communicating the concept clearly with the groups involved and at the same time taking into account the ongoing technological change.

Our team specifically investigates fundamental questions such as:

  • Which components are required?
  • How do they communicate with each other?
  • Is there a need for new developments and how does everything fit together harmoniously?

We develop an architectural solution tailored to your project – individual instead of an unspecific standard solution. This can be kept pragmatic and lean according to your budget and goals and integrates as seamlessly as possible into existing structures.

Thanks to our experience with customers of various sizes and orientations, we have helped shape solutions of all kinds. Our aim is to design appropriate and modern concepts that are understood by everyone involved and can be dynamically adapted to changing framework conditions.

Software Development & Services

Our focus is on developing innovative software and providing services that make geodata accessible in order to visualize, edit and analyze it. We work both on the further development of existing open source components and on tailor-made software solutions.

Our applications mainly run on the web, but desktop and server solutions are also part of our portfolio. We rely on proven and modern technologies – you can find more under Software. Interactive dashboards in the field of business intelligence, for example with Apache Superset, are also part of our offer.

Quality is our top priority in all our developments. With pair programming, code reviews, linting, unit tests as well as performance and security checks, we ensure that our software meets the highest standards. We ensure adequate test coverage, carry out license checks and ensure automatic version updates. All of this can be fully integrated via CI/CD pipelines.

For our services, we rely on established standards such as WMS, WMTS, WFS or the OGC APIs as well as modern formats such as Vector Tiles or cloud-optimized formats (e.g. COG). In this context, we offer optimized map visualizations that can be integrated as separate services. More on this on our product page.

Project Management & Agile Support

Successful software projects require more than just a talented development team and DevOps professionals. Our project managers take care of the management and monitoring of the classic dimensions of time, quality and costs of our projects and act as the central interface between the wishes and requirements of the customer and the assessments of our development team.

We rely on cooperative project management, often in an agile context, and trust in approaches from Scrum and Kanban. In order for our project teams to work independently, creatively and yet efficiently, we need project managers who work with us, are involved in the content and motivate the team. We are extremely communicative in internal and external processes (regular and structured meetings such as dailies, jour fixes, reviews and retrospectives). We often work with our customers for years, gradually working on specific subtasks and striving towards a larger whole. If required, we involve the customer side in the creative process. We accompany the path from abstract ideas to concrete implementations. Thanks to the dedicated role of project management in our projects, we can identify risks early on, react appropriately to them, pursue overarching goals, ensure collaboration in our teams, ensure continuity and ultimately ensure the satisfaction of our customers.

We have taken on various agile roles in customer projects. We provided (proxy) product owners, Scrum Masters or accompanied agile workshops, for example with the design thinking methodology.

Quality & Test Management

The quality of our work is our top priority. Quality assurance is therefore a task that is anchored in all departments of our company.

We have introduced a company-wide quality management system for the conception, programming, operation and consulting of geodata infrastructures and mostly web-based (geo) information systems. This meets the requirements of DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 and is certified accordingly. Our internal quality management officer is responsible for the continuous improvement of the system and monitors that we meet and remain true to our own standards.

We have additional quality requirements for the core service of software and service development. In close cooperation with our development team, project management and the customer, we develop project-specific test management. This starts with the requirements, goes on to the instructions for creating testable code and standard-compliant services and supports with concrete automated and manual test tasks. With pair programming, code reviews, linting, unit tests as well as performance and security checks, we guarantee the highest standards. We also ensure adequate test coverage, carry out license checks and ensure automatic version updates. Tests – including end-to-end and surface tests – as well as compilation, packaging and deployment can usually be fully automated via CI/CD processes. The results of the numerous test steps flow seamlessly back into the development cycle.

We are proud to meet our own high standards and those of our customers. At the same time, we are aware that we want to and must continue to work on ourselves continuously and across departments in order to always develop the best possible solutions.

Operation & Maintenance

Have you had us develop a system of coordinated components? Or have you put together and configured your own solution thanks to the open source nature of our core components? Great! Now the productive use is pending, and questions about operation and maintenance may arise

We offer support for both systems created by us and selected open source software products to assist you with advice and support during operation and maintenance. On request, we are happy to take over overall responsibility so that you always have a maintained, up-to-date and secure overall system. In the field of operation and maintenance, we can take over the following tasks as examples, whereby the exact details are regulated by specific agreements with you:

  • Hosting your application including domain management
  • Operation in cloud infrastructures or classic server systems, decision support in the selection
  • Orchestration of infrastructure via e.g. OpenShift / Kubernetes / Ansible
  • Deployment infrastructure with different environments (such as development, testing, acceptance and production), possibly including a complete CI/CD workflow
  • Importing updates ranging from the operating system to basic components to basic libraries and frameworks, optionally also for larger major releases
  • Importing security updates up to patching in the event of concrete suspected situations
  • Monitoring for vulnerability, for example as a result of vulnerable components, reaction to published CVE reports, among other things
  • Monitoring of availability, performance, utilization and free capacities of your application, reaction to special events up to dynamic adaptation of physical resources
  • Reaction and solution of reported misbehavior according to agreed reaction times / service level agreements
  • Backup and restore procedures
  • Redundancy in the provision, mirroring also on physically distributed systems
  • Valorisation of new features or configuration options that result, for example, from version updates
  • etc.


Not every application, software or component needs all aspects from the list above to function reliably and efficiently in productive operation. In addition, special requirements for your individual solution can be easily taken into account. We look forward to developing and implementing a tailor-made concept together with you.
