GIS Development

Geospatial software, engineered end to end

From the enterprise geodatabase to the map in a field crew's hand, LiveBird designs, builds and operates GIS systems for government agencies, utilities and enterprises. ESRI/ArcGIS, QGIS, Mapbox, TAK and open-source stacks — chosen for the job, not the badge.

03How a GIS project runs

From raw data to daily decisions

01

Data engineering

Ingest, clean and model spatial data — CAD, shapefiles, imagery, sensors — into PostGIS or an enterprise geodatabase with a schema built to last.

02

Services & APIs

Publish feature, tile, image and geoprocessing services; expose GeoJSON/REST APIs; secure everything with SSO and role-based access.

03

Applications

Web dashboards, native field apps with offline sync, desktop tools and 3D scenes — designed with the people who will use them every day.

04

Operations

Deployment on-prem or in the cloud, monitoring, upgrades, training and a support line that answers. GIS that keeps working after launch.

05FAQ

Questions we hear first

Anything else? Write to connect@livebirdtechnologies.com and a GIS engineer — not a sales bot — will reply.

Both, and frequently a hybrid. We design the sharing model, federate Enterprise with Online where it makes sense, and handle SSO, licensing and content governance across the two.
