Turn land into a secure, bankable, revenue-generating asset.

Digital registries, CofO systems, property enumeration and spatial data infrastructure for state governments.

Borno, Sokoto and Kebbi State Governments3state GIS agencies supported: Landex for the BOGIS pilot, DLI 5 work for Sokoto, the SDI platform for KEBGIS
The problem we solve

Most land in Nigeria remains unregistered. That means unclear ownership, disputes, lost revenue and land that cannot serve as collateral. We help state agencies build the systems and data to change that.

What we deliver

Five things we build and run.

  1. 01Land administration software and spatial data platforms for state GIS agencies
  2. 02Digital land registry and automated CofO processing
  3. 03Systematic land titling and property enumeration
  4. 04Property-tax registers and inter-agency data sharing
  5. 05Survey, drone and satellite mapping
The platform

One record that registry staff can search and verify.

How we deliver

Design, build, run, hand over.

The four nodes in the Geomatix mark are the four stages of every engagement. The last one is the point: your team runs the system without us.

  1. Node 1

    Design

    We design for the conditions our clients actually work in, including limited connectivity and large field teams.

  2. Node 2

    Build

    Offline-first mobile capture, intranet processing for low-connectivity sites, and devices field teams actually use.

  3. Node 3

    Run

    We operate and maintain the systems we build, with a help desk and support tickets tracked to resolution.

  4. Node 4

    Hand over

    Training for the client’s staff, then a full handover of source code, applications, documentation and system credentials.

Tools we use when they fit

We pick the tool for the problem and the skills your team already has. These used to be separate service pages; they are now how this practice delivers.

  • QGIS
  • PostGIS
  • Leaflet and OpenLayers
  • GeoServer
  • OCR and barcode workflows
  • Drones and GPS
  • Satellite imagery
  • Landex
