  • Web maps using MapLibre / Leaflet / ESRI JS.

Dashboards & SDSS

  • Real-time dashboards for planning, monitoring, and operations.
  • Decision support from geospatial analytics + KPIs.
  • APIs that connect GIS to business workflows.

Remote Sensing

  • Satellite imagery handling, raster workflows, classification support.
  • Terrain mapping, spatial modeling for urban planning.
  • Spatial analysis for real estate, health, environment.
