What Netcad does

Netcad Yazılım A.Ş. is Turkey's leading Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software company, founded in 1989 in Ankara and publicly listed on Borsa Istanbul since 5 February 2026 (ticker: NETCD), with Taxim Capital as majority shareholder. The company operates a platform-plus-modules architecture centered on NETCAD GIS (the core engine for producing, managing, analyzing, and sharing spatial data) supplemented by more than 30 specialized add-on modules covering urban planning (PLANET, NETMAP), smart cities (KEOS with Kent Rehberi), mining (NETPROMine, NETMine Plan), engineering infrastructure (NETPRO, NETSURF, WATER, KANALIZASYON), cadastral (YAPINET for 3D cadastre), drone photogrammetry (DRONET), and e-government services (e-ENTEGRASYON, E-RUHSAT, E-İmar AI Danışman). Netcad reports 85% market share in Turkey's GIS sector, 220+ employees (87% in R&D), 130,000+ users, 1,290+ municipality customers, 800+ public institutions, and 9,000+ private-company customers, with Netcad taught as a course in 80+ Turkish universities.

The company generates revenue through a mix of software licensing (perpetual and subscription), custom solution implementation and integration services, and training and certification programs delivered via Netcad Akademi, with a quote-based enterprise pricing model that is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led through a direct enterprise sales team handling key government and municipal accounts, augmented by an extensive solution partner network providing regional coverage across Turkey. Netcad maintains a comprehensive certifications portfolio (CMMI DEV 2.0 ML3, ISO 9001/14001/20000-1/22301/27001/27701/10002/56002, OGC compliance, and public IT procurement authorizations) and reinvests roughly 30% of revenue into R&D, with R&D and innovation operations split between Ankara headquarters and an Istanbul R&D center established in 2020. International presence is nascent but growing, anchored by an Azerbaijan Technology Center and stated expansion plans for Kazakhstan, Pakistan, and Indonesia under Turkey's Turquality export-support program.

Core offering

Netcad develops and licenses a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software platform used by Turkish government ministries, municipalities, and enterprises for production, management, analysis and sharing of geographic data. The product portfolio includes a core Netcad GIS platform, low-code application development (NETIGMA), AI-powered zoning assistant (E-İmar AI Danışman), smart city solutions (KEOS), mining solutions (NETPROMine, NETMine Plan), photogrammetric analysis (Dronet), 3D cadastre (Yapinet), natural gas network management (GASNET), and e-government integration products, with implementation, consulting and training delivered alongside.

Product overview

Netcad offers a platform-plus-modules architecture centered on NETCAD GIS as the core product, supplemented by over 30 specialized add-on modules and solutions across multiple verticals. The core GIS platform handles geographic data production, management, analysis and sharing. Vertical-specific solutions include: urban planning (PLANET, NETMAP), smart cities (KEOS with Kent Rehberi), mining (NETPROMine, NETMine Plan), engineering infrastructure (NETPRO, NETSURF, WATER, KANALİZASYON), cadastral (YAPINET for 3D cadastre), drone/photogrammetry (DRONET), and e-government services (e-ENTEGRASYON, E-RUHSAT, E-İmar AI Danışman). Additional tools support document management (NETÇAP, NSIGN), spatial analysis (ANALIST, NETWORK ANALİZİ), 3D modeling (3D+), and field operations (NVIEW, HESAP). The portfolio was expanded through the 2021 acquisition of Udentify for AI image processing, and new products GASNET, ÜNİBİS, and OSBNET were launched in 2021.

Scale indicators11 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Esri: Global leader in GIS software (ArcGIS) serving government, utilities, and enterprises worldwide. Direct competitor to Netcad GIS in any cross-border enterprise or municipal account, and the primary benchmark for GIS platform capabilities.
• Hexagon Geospatial: Provides geospatial platforms (GeoMedia, ERDAS Imagine, M.App Enterprise) for government, defense, and infrastructure. Comparable to Netcad in vertical-specific GIS for utilities, mining, and public-sector workflows.
• Bentley Systems: Infrastructure engineering software platform with strong mapping and geospatial capabilities (OpenUtilities, OpenCities). Comparable to Netcad's infrastructure, mining, and engineering product lines serving similar enterprise and government buyers.
• Trimble: Geospatial and construction technology provider offering surveying, mapping, and GIS-integrated software. Closely comparable to Netcad's Dronet photogrammetry, NETPRO infrastructure, and cadastral/surveying workflows.
• Cadcorp: UK-based GIS software vendor (Cadcorp SIS) serving government and utilities with desktop, web, and developer GIS. Closely comparable to Netcad in selling desktop-and-web GIS suites to government and infrastructure customers.
• Precisely (formerly Pitney Bowes Software / MapInfo): Provides location intelligence, geospatial data, and GIS-adjacent software (originally MapInfo Pro) for enterprise and government. Comparable to Netcad's enterprise GIS analytics and data management capabilities.

Broad incumbents

• Autodesk: Broad incumbent in CAD, engineering, and construction software (AutoCAD, Civil 3D, InfraWorks) with GIS-like capabilities. Comparable to Netcad on the CAD/infrastructure side, though Autodesk is a much broader portfolio player and not specialized in Turkish cadastral/municipal GIS.
• HERE Technologies: Location platform and mapping services company providing geospatial data, map content, and APIs. Comparable to Netcad in serving large government and enterprise customers with spatial data, though HERE focuses more on transportation/logistics than cadastral.

Emerging players

• Mapbox: Developer-focused mapping and location platform used for web and mobile map applications. Comparable to Netcad's NETIGMA, NETGIS Server, and low-code/mobile mapping capabilities, though Mapbox serves global developer markets rather than municipal workflows.

Regional players

• SuperMap Software: China's leading GIS platform vendor with a similar municipal/cadastral go-to-market in its domestic market. Comparable to Netcad as a regional GIS champion with localization advantages and government depth in its home geography.
