The increasing demand for location-based analytics among businesses to improve operational efficiency and enhance decision-making drives the GIS market. Leveraging state-of-the-art technologies, Infomaps gained the trust and satisfaction of thousands of clients by consistently delivering cost-effective, innovative solutions. Several states' municipal administrations, health, forest, agriculture, livelihood missions, planning commissions, and other departments recognize the company's expertise in providing end-to-end GIS services with in-house teams.
"I founded Infomaps in 1993, marking my 40th year as a conventional cartographer. Recognizing the need to embrace technological advancements, I established the first digital mapping lab in the private sector in South India. Initially, we focused on creating maps for private agencies such as Airtel, Vodafone, and BSNL, aiding in identifying coverage patterns, and gray areas, and planning connectivity improvements. Over the past 15 years, the company has increasingly collaborated with government agencies, including the police departments of State Governments, underscoring the critical role of GIS in planning and daily operations. The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, Government of India, has impaneled us as a consultant for Smart Cities and Amrut Cities for improvement using GIS Technology", says Nandakishore, Founder.

Infomaps mission is to make GIS solutions cost-effective and easy to use, ensuring accessibility for everyone
Additionally, Infomaps has an in-house mobile and web application development team. Initially relying on licensed software, they have transitioned to developing their web GIS applications built on Open source tools. This shift addresses the cost and limitation of licensed software and ensures data security and project timeline. By maintaining an in-house development unit, the company retains control over project delivery and confidentiality, leading to successful outcomes.
Infomaps distinguishes itself in the competitive GIS market through its user-friendly and affordable solutions, exceptional client support, and continuous system upgrades. By regularly updating systems and sharing land-based data across departments, the company facilitates cost reduction and enhances data utilization. Their transparent pricing and commitment to educating clients further build trust. Additionally, the company offers comprehensive training and web-based solutions, contributing to client success. Over the past decade, these practices have earned the company a steady stream of repeated orders and referrals.
By the end of this year, Infomaps plans to launch 'StrataGIS', a SaaS-based GIS application that offers affordable, pay-as-you-use services. Unlike navigation tools, StrataGIS provides advanced analytical capabilities, combining AI tools with socio-economic and spatial data for comprehensive analysis. This solution requires no significant capital investment or professional expertise, making GIS accessible to a broader audience. StrataGIS guarantees data confidentiality, keeping users' data private. This initiative aims to empower professionals from any domain with user-friendly advanced GIS tools, facilitating their business expansion without substantial investments.
