Open-source GIS

Open-source GIS can match commercial platforms for most workloads. We build complete stacks from spatial databases and map servers to custom QGIS plugins and browser-based viewers.

Review note: Confirm each listed tool reflects real delivered work (LAStools and OSRM in particular).

The problem

Licence costs can make GIS hard to justify, particularly for organisations rolling it out to many users or publishing data to the public.

Open-source tools are capable, but assembling them into a reliable, maintainable system takes specialist experience.

Our approach

We design around PostgreSQL with PostGIS as the source of truth, then publish data through GeoServer and GeoWebCache using open standards that any client can consume.

Desktop teams get QGIS plugins that automate their repetitive work. Web users get fast map applications, and 3D or point cloud data can be streamed to the browser with Cesium and Potree.

What you get

  • PostGIS database design, tuning and migration
  • GeoServer configuration, styling and tile caching
  • Custom QGIS plugins and processing tools
  • Web map applications on OpenLayers, Leaflet or MapLibre
  • 3D and point cloud viewers in the browser with CesiumJS and Potree
  • Point cloud processing, using licensed LAStools where a project needs it
  • Routing services built on OSRM

Is this the right fit?

Confirm fit guidance matches the projects you accept

A good fit when

  • You want to reduce licence dependencies or publish data openly.
  • Your team can run, or wants help running, PostgreSQL and GeoServer.
  • You need QGIS tools that automate repeated desktop work.

What we will need from you

  • An inventory of current layers, services and the clients that consume them.
  • Server or cloud access for the target environment.
  • Details of any licences or tools that must stay in place.

What shapes scope and price

  • Volume of data and services to migrate.
  • Performance and caching requirements.
  • Number of custom tools or plugins.
  • Who will operate the stack after handover.

We do not publish fixed prices because these factors vary widely. After a first conversation we send a written proposal with scope, milestones, acceptance criteria and cost, so you can compare like for like before committing.

Where it is used

Replacing licensed servers
Move published map services to GeoServer while keeping existing clients working.
Field-ready desktop tools
Package repeated QGIS steps into a plugin your analysts can run in one click.
Point cloud in the browser
Stream LiDAR surveys to stakeholders without desktop software.
Routing and logistics
Self-hosted routing for fleets, field crews or delivery planning.

Questions

Industries: Real estate, Telecom, Tourism, Agriculture

Is open-source GIS reliable enough for production?

PostGIS, GeoServer and QGIS are mature projects used by governments and large companies. Reliability depends mostly on how the system is designed, monitored and maintained, which is the part we take responsibility for.

Does open source mean no licence costs at all?

The core stack (PostGIS, GeoServer, QGIS and the web mapping libraries) is free to use. Some projects still need commercial tools, such as licensed LAStools for point cloud processing or FME for data conversion. We list every licence a design depends on before you commit.

Can open-source and ArcGIS systems work together?

Yes. Open standards such as WMS, WFS and OGC API let the two exchange data, and many of our clients run a mix.
