Geography,
data & precise
decisions.
Governments across Colombia manage their territory with last-century tools. We give them AI and 30 years of experience to change that.

different.
30 years, not 3.
We're not a startup. 166 projects delivered, 115 clients served, since 1996. ISAGEN has hired us 15 times. Medellín, 13. When you've been in the territory for three decades, you don't need a pitch deck — you need execution capacity.
ArcGIS and QGIS. Both.
We don't depend on a single vendor. We implement the platform your project needs, not the one we sell. 61 GIS projects across both platforms. If you need to migrate from one to the other, we do that too.
Own software in production.
Terraes operates in 9 municipalities. SGVIAL has managed Medellín's road network since 2006. Geobristol monitors 2,800 farmers with FAO. These aren't demos — they're platforms running every day.
AI with results, not slides.
Land cover classification with over 90% accuracy on Sentinel-2. Automated cadastral validation in Terraes. Predictive models deployed in production. If it's not in production, we don't sell it.
From Chiribiquete to ISAGEN.
Cadastral formation across 4.2 million hectares of Amazon jungle (UNESCO). GIS administration for Colombia's largest hydroelectric plants for 27 years. We operate where others can't reach.
We migrate what others won't touch.
ArcGIS 10.x to 11.x. Oracle Spatial to PostGIS. Legacy Java apps to Python. We maintain 20-year-old systems and when the client is ready, we modernize them without losing a single record.

From Medellín's road management to the property administration of Colombia's largest hydroelectric plants, to cadastral formation in the country's most extensive Amazon park.
We designed, developed and maintain Medellín's Road Network Management System since 2006. SGVIAL manages the city's complete road inventory: road conditions, maintenance scheduling, works tracking and public consultation. Nearly 20 years of continuous evolution — migrated from ArcGIS to our own stack, integrated with the District's corporate geographic platform. We also developed HuecosMED, the citizen app for reporting road potholes, awarded Best Mobile Application in Colombia in 2014.
Learn about our software →We designed ISAGEN's GIS from scratch in 2003 and have maintained and evolved it across 15 consecutive contracts. SIAP (Integrated Property Management System) manages spatial and legal data for all properties associated with ISAGEN's hydroelectric plants: San Carlos (1,240 MW), Sogamoso (819 MW), Miel I, Jaguas, Amoyá and San Miguel. Integrated with their corporate ERP. In 2025 we deployed the new lease management module.
Learn about our GIS service →Cadastral formation of Serranía de Chiribiquete National Park — UNESCO Mixed World Heritage Site. 4,268,095 hectares of Amazon jungle across Caquetá and Guaviare. One of the most challenging cadastral projects in the country due to size, biodiversity and access.
