Public sector & geospatial

Software for public institutions and geospatial data

We build digital addressing, mapping and citizen-facing apps for public institutions. Our engineering team delivered a national institute's digital addressing system, with address search, routing and a mobile app, six months from kickoff.

Where we come in

When people and places can't be found

These are the situations we are asked to fix.

Addresses nobody can find

Streets and buildings have no reliable digital address, so deliveries, services and emergency crews lose time.

A digital address register with search, maps and routing, kept up to date.

Counters and queues

Citizens need a trip and a paper form for things that could be done online.

Web and mobile services that people can use on any device, built to be accessible.

Maps and registers apart

Maps, registers and records live in separate systems that don't exchange data.

Data exchange between your systems, so the same place is the same record everywhere.

Accessibility duties

Public bodies must make their websites and apps accessible, and it is hard to retrofit.

Accessibility built in from the first design, not added at the end.

What we build

Geospatial and citizen systems that last

Built to be run by your team for years.

Address and map search

Searchable address registers on maps, for staff and the public.

Routing and navigation

Routes between places, in a web app and a mobile app.

Citizen apps

Web and mobile services for requests, forms and updates.

Registers and data exchange

Records and interfaces that keep your systems in step.

Platforms we start from

Digital Addressing Platform

Emergency Ambulance Platform

Rules we build for

What public institutions are held to

This isn't legal advice: your legal and security teams have the final say.

Accessible by law.

EU rules require public bodies' websites and apps to be accessible (Directive (EU) 2016/2102), with EN 301 549 as the standard behind them. Every web app we build targets WCAG 2.1 AA, and we check the standard's requirements with you.

NIS2 for public administration.

Public administration is a sector under NIS2, which expects security in your supply chain (Art. 21(2)(d)). We make that check easy to answer.

BSI IT-Grundschutz.

Many German public bodies work to IT-Grundschutz, the BSI's method for an information security management system. Tell us early if you do, and we plan the project's security requirements around it.

How we protect your data

What we've built

A national institute's digital addressing system

What was built

A digital addressing system for a national geospatial institute in Ethiopia: address search, routing, a mobile app and a way for people to contribute places.

How long it took

The system went live six months after kickoff. The full write-up is in our case studies.

FAQ

Questions about public sector and geospatial software

Yes. Every web app we build targets WCAG 2.1 AA, and for public-sector projects we check the requirements of EN 301 549 with you, because EU rules for public bodies are based on it.

Address registers, map and search, routing and navigation, and web and mobile apps on top of them. Our engineering team has delivered all of these in one national system.

In your environment. Our engineers work inside your systems under a data processing agreement, and we agree early where data and the work are allowed to be.

IT-Grundschutz is the BSI's method for building an information security management system. If your institution works to it, tell us in the first call and we plan the project's security requirements around it.

We can provide what a tender usually asks for: a written proposal, references from our case studies, security answers and the data processing terms. Whether and how a procurement procedure applies to your project is for your procurement office to decide.
