Maps & GIS
A GIS developer for maps connected to real work
Location data is useful, but difficult to capture or connect to the job. We build interactive map apps that help people see places, record findings, and use the information behind each location. Our Canadian team connects application design, field capture, and business systems.
Give every location useful context
Build a map around the tasks people need to complete, connecting locations with forms, assets, or reports. Data sources, permissions, and field requirements are defined before development.
We review the data and user journeys, choose suitable map services, and prototype the interaction, then build and test the agreed app.
Possible map and app features
- Interactive map views and location search
- Markers linked to records and forms
- GPS-based field data capture
- Photos and notes tied to locations
- Map layers and filters
- Asset and site information panels
- Offline maps and later synchronization
- Connections to existing GIS data
- Data export and reporting views
Make location information useful in everyday work
Featured GIS app benefits
See the place and the work together
Bring relevant records into a map so people can see where something is and what needs attention.
Reduce later cleanup of field records
Record details against the right location on site, reducing manual matching back at the office.
Make specialist data easier to use
Give users clear interactions for a specific task without requiring them to navigate a complex GIS tool.

Questions about GIS app development
Can you use our existing GIS platform and data?
In most cases, yes. We review the platform, data formats, licences, and access methods, then decide whether the app uses your existing map services or another approach. Data ownership and update responsibilities are agreed before building.
Can the app work with offline maps?
Yes, for the areas and tasks your users need. We plan download size, device storage, map-service terms, and synchronization. Some layers and live data may still need a connection.
Will phone GPS be accurate enough for our use?
That depends on the task, device, and working conditions. We agree the required accuracy and test it in realistic settings. Survey-grade work or specialist positioning equipment needs separate requirements and assessment.
Does this include creating or surveying our geographic data?
Application development does not assume surveying or creating the underlying datasets. We review the data you have and identify gaps with your team. Data preparation, geocoding, or specialist GIS work is agreed separately where needed.
What affects the cost?
Cost depends on map interactions, source data, integrations, field capture, and offline requirements. We define a focused first release before estimating. Map-service licences and usage charges are separate from development.
