Custom applications & automation

Build What Your Workflow Needs.

Custom applications, integrations and automation for geospatial and data-driven organizations.

AcuGIS develops custom applications and automated workflows around PostgreSQL, PostGIS, GeoServer, QGIS, APIs and modern web technologies.

Modern AI-assisted development tools help us prototype, build, test and iterate faster — reducing development time and making custom software practical for more projects.

Custom Software Built Around Your Workflow

Not every requirement fits an off-the-shelf product. AcuGIS develops focused applications and automation around your existing data, infrastructure and business processes.

Geospatial Applications

Custom web mapping and GIS applications built around PostGIS, GeoServer, QGIS and modern web mapping technologies.

Data Applications

Purpose-built applications for searching, managing, visualizing and working with organizational data.

Workflow Automation

Replace repetitive manual processes with automated data, reporting, GIS and operational workflows.

Integrations

Connect existing systems, databases, APIs and geospatial services.

Reporting & Analytics

Custom reporting, dashboards, maps and analytics tailored to specific operational requirements.

APIs & Backend Services

Build APIs and services that expose data and functionality to internal systems, applications and customers.

Modern development workflow

Faster Development. More Iteration. Lower Cost.

Software development is changing.

Modern AI-assisted development environments such as Cursor, GitHub Copilot and similar tools allow experienced developers to move more quickly through implementation, refactoring, testing, documentation and repetitive development tasks.

AcuGIS incorporates these tools into our development workflow to shorten development cycles and spend more project time solving the requirements that are specific to your organization.

Faster Prototyping

Move from requirements to a working prototype sooner, making it easier to validate ideas before investing in the complete application.

Faster Iteration

Implement and evaluate changes more quickly as requirements become clearer during development.

Lower Development Cost

Reduced time spent on repetitive implementation work can make focused custom applications economical for projects that previously could not justify traditional custom development costs.

AI-Assisted, Developer-Led

AI-assisted development does not replace software engineering. It changes how quickly experienced developers can implement and evaluate solutions.

We use modern development tools to assist with tasks such as code generation and refactoring, test creation, documentation, API integration, repetitive implementation, code analysis and prototyping.

Architecture, requirements, security, validation and final implementation remain developer-led.

  • Code generation and refactoring
  • Test creation
  • Documentation
  • API integration
  • Repetitive implementation
  • Code analysis
  • Prototyping

From Requirement to Working Application

  1. 1

    Understand

    Define the problem, workflow, users, data and required integrations.

  2. 2

    Prototype

    Build a focused working prototype to validate the approach.

  3. 3

    Iterate

    Review the application and refine functionality based on real usage and feedback.

  4. 4

    Deploy

    Deploy into the appropriate cloud, self-hosted or container environment.

  5. 5

    Maintain

    Provide ongoing development, updates and support where required.

Start small. Validate quickly. Expand where it creates value.

Geospatial expertise

Development That Understands GIS

General application development is only part of the challenge when an application depends on spatial data and GIS infrastructure.

AcuGIS combines application development with experience across the open source geospatial stack.

Spatial Data

PostgreSQL and PostGIS data modeling, querying and processing.

Map Services

GeoServer, WMS, WFS, vector tiles and other geospatial services.

Web Mapping

Interactive maps, spatial selection, visualization and data-driven interfaces.

QGIS

Integration with QGIS-based workflows and QGIS Server where appropriate.

Spatial Automation

Automate imports, transformations, publishing, reporting and other GIS workflows.

Infrastructure

Deploy applications alongside the databases and services they depend on.

Automate the Work Between Systems

Many useful development projects do not require a large new application. Sometimes the highest-value solution is simply removing repetitive manual work.

Examples of work we automate:

  • Automated data imports
  • ETL and transformation workflows
  • Scheduled spatial processing
  • Report generation and distribution
  • GeoServer publishing
  • Data synchronization
  • API integrations
  • Notifications
  • Monitoring workflows
  • Administrative automation

Built for Your Environment

Custom applications can be designed for the environment that fits the project. Not every application uses every deployment model.

AcuGIS Cloud

Managed deployment where appropriate.

Self-Hosted

Deploy into infrastructure controlled by the customer.

Docker

Containerized applications and supporting services.

Existing Infrastructure

Integrate with databases, GeoServer instances, APIs and other services already in use.

Extend Your AcuGIS Environment

Custom development can work independently or extend existing AcuGIS products.

AcuGIS Cloud

Custom applications deployed alongside managed GIS infrastructure.

Report Server

Custom reporting, analytics and integration workflows.

AcuGIS Agent

Automation and management workflows around infrastructure.

GeoSIEM

Custom security, audit, notification and integration workflows.

Custom development is also available for standalone projects and existing third-party infrastructure.

When Custom Development Makes Sense

The workflow is unique

Existing software does not match the organization's actual process.

Manual work is consuming time

Repeated data, GIS or reporting tasks can be automated.

Systems need to communicate

Existing applications need APIs, synchronization or integration.

An idea needs validation

A focused prototype can determine whether a larger application is worth building.

Off-the-shelf software is too large

A focused custom application may be simpler than adopting a much larger platform for one specific requirement.
