What Metria does
Metria is a Swedish geospatial and property-information company headquartered in Stockholm (originating in Gävle), founded in 2011 as a state-owned technology firm and acquired by Norway's Sikri Holding AS in April 2022. The company operates a portfolio of products built on authorized access to authoritative Swedish land, property, and cadastral data, serving finance, energy, forestry, infrastructure, and real estate customers. Its product suite spans FastighetSök (flagship property search), Metria Maps API, the Markkoll SaaS land-management platform, Timmerweb (forestry), Klimatanalys (climate-risk analytics), Skogsanalys (AI-assisted forest valuation), and Samr\u00e5d (consultation workflows), plus an e-commerce channel (E-handel) for transactional geodata sales.
The company's technology architecture layers proprietary analytics and machine-learning models on top of regulated Swedish datasets supplied via partnerships with Lantmäteriet and other authorities. Business model revenue is generated through annual subscriptions (FastighetSök, SeSverige Pro), tiered SaaS (Markkoll), usage-based API pricing (Metria Maps API), and transactional fees on the e-commerce channel. Customer segments include Swedish banks (e.g., Landshypotek), energy operators (Skellefte\u00e5 Kraft, Svenska Kraftn\u00e4t), forestry players (Norra Skog), and public-sector clients, with ISO 27001 certification and GDPR-compliant data handling as core compliance credentials.
Metria currently operates with approximately 125 employees in Sweden as part of the wider Sikri/SPIR Group (260-400 employees across the Nordics), and is positioned as the regulated-data layer for Swedish enterprise customers that require authoritative property and geospatial intelligence for credit, asset, and climate-risk decisioning.

Metria competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Esri (ArcGIS): Global GIS platform leader and Metria's primary integration partner via the FastighetSök ArcGIS widget. Comparable as the dominant horizontal GIS platform into which Metria's Swedish-specific property data is delivered; could substitute with broader features at large enterprise customers.
- Vitec Software Group: Swedish vertical-software group serving real estate, banking, and energy with domain-specific SaaS. Comparable as a Nordic vertical-software incumbent with adjacent reach into Metria's key verticals and potential overlap in property data products.
- Hexagon AB: Swedish-headquartered global geospatial and measurement technology company (includes Leica Geosystems and Hexagon Geosystems). Comparable in remote sensing, GIS, and surveying/mapping technologies serving infrastructure and government customers.
- Mapbox: Global mapping and location platform with APIs for maps, geocoding, and spatial analytics. Comparable to Metria Maps in the developer/API segment and a potential substitute for customers with cross-border digital mapping needs.
- HERE Technologies: Global location data and mapping platform providing APIs and geospatial datasets comparable to Metria Maps. Overlaps in map API delivery and enterprise geospatial services, though HERE focuses on transportation/navigation rather than property/land.
- Tietoevry: Nordic IT services and software provider with public-sector and geospatial practice across the Nordics. Comparable as a large Nordic tech incumbent with overlapping capabilities in government data, banking IT, and geospatial services.
- Trimble: Global geospatial and construction technology provider with surveying, mapping, and GIS products. Comparable in remote sensing, GIS, and infrastructure-related geospatial analytics, and could expand into Nordic property data.
Regional players
- Geodata AS: Norwegian geospatial services firm offering GIS, surveying, and data management. Comparable as a Nordic regional peer in spatial data services and infrastructure/geomatics, relevant for any Norwegian expansion through SPIR Group.
- Kartverket (Norwegian Mapping Authority): Norwegian equivalent of Lantmäteriet providing cadastral and geographic data. Comparable as a Nordic public-sector geospatial data provider and natural counterpart if Metria expands into Norway via SPIR Group.
Others
- Lantmäteriet (Swedish Land Survey): Swedish government agency providing cadastral, property, and geographic data that underpins much of Metria's offering. Comparable as a data source/regulator and a partial competitor if it expands direct delivery of property information to end users.
