01 Who we are

Maps shape how we understand the world. We build the ones that shape better decisions.

AXMAP brings together a team of researchers and developers with over 20 years of combined experience in geospatial science and engineering.

We started in 2007 as a series of a(x)map project ideas, driven by a fascination with how maps shape our understanding of place. In 2020 we incorporated in Alberta, Canada, on a simple belief: digital maps can transform the way people live and interact with their environment.

Today we deliver full-stack geospatial solutions for industries that run on spatial data. Our mission is to give clients the expertise and tools to gain deep location intelligence and to make better decisions because of it.

i.

Science

Rigorous spatial analysis and research-grade machine learning, built for your data rather than borrowed from someone else’s.

ii.

Technology

Full-stack engineering, from data pipelines and models to GIS integration and the web maps your team uses every day.

iii.

Art

Cartography and visualization that make complex geography legible at a glance, because a map nobody reads makes no decisions.

02 Services

Five layers of geospatial capability, one integrated stack.

  1. L01

    Spatial Analytics

    Uncover patterns. Visualize relationships. Drive decisions.

    We transform complex geographic data into actionable business intelligence. Advanced spatial analysis and dynamic mapping reveal the patterns hidden in your data, so you can make decisions grounded in where things happen.

    • Spatial data mining
    • Pattern & cluster analysis
    • Interactive maps
  2. L02

    Development & Customization

    Tailored geospatial solutions. Built for the future.

    Our team specializes in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) design, implementation and integration. We build scalable tools that fit your operational needs instead of forcing your operations to fit the software.

    • GIS design
    • System integration
    • Asset & personnel tracking
  3. L03

    Consulting

    Strategic roadmaps for geospatial success.

    Forward-thinking organizations need a clear roadmap. We help you plan and execute a geospatial strategy aligned with your organizational goals, with the return on investment in view from day one.

    • Geospatial strategy
    • Technology roadmaps
    • ROI planning
  4. L04

    Commercialization

    Bringing your geospatial innovations to market.

    We provide the market expertise, strategic positioning and launch frameworks to take geospatial technology from prototype to product, and to scale it across the North American market.

    • Market positioning
    • Launch frameworks
    • North American scale-up
  5. L05

    Research

    Custom machine learning tailored to your data.

    Generic algorithms yield generic results. We design, train and deploy geospatial machine-learning models for your specific datasets, from aerial imagery to LiDAR point clouds.

    • Deep learning
    • Remote sensing
    • LiDAR

Our mission

Equip every client with the expertise and tools to gain deep location intelligence.

03 Portfolio

Selected work, from pixels and point clouds to public maps.
