01Why LiveBird

Work that ends up on real maps and real phones

01

GIS depth you won't find elsewhere

Most software companies treat maps as a widget. Here, spatial data is the core discipline — ArcGIS Enterprise, QGIS plugins, vector tiles, PostGIS, TAK — and you learn it from people who have shipped it for government and defence.

02

Services and our own products

Alongside client projects we run a product division: field data collectors, offline map generators and consumer utilities with more than ten million downloads. You get to own features end-to-end, not just deliver tickets.

03

Engineers talk to clients

There is no account-management layer. The person who builds the system joins the discovery call, demos each sprint and hears the feedback first-hand.

04

Modern, chosen stacks

Swift and Kotlin where native matters, Flutter and React Native where it doesn't, Next.js and NestJS on the web, Laravel where it fits. We pick tools for the problem and keep them current.

05

Global clients, one team

Work with organisations in the United States and worldwide from our Ahmedabad headquarters, with our US entity handling contracts and client presence.

06

Craft over churn

Twenty-five years, hundreds of projects and long client relationships — we would rather do fewer things properly than many things badly, and we hire people who feel the same.
