What GEOBOX does

GEOBOX AG, founded in 2009 and headquartered in Winterthur, Switzerland, is a privately held Swiss GIS software specialist that operates within the Autodesk ecosystem. The company develops and distributes the GEOBOX GIS Collection — its core platform — together with add-on modules covering Amtliche Vermessung (Official Cadastral Survey, including the new DMAV release replacing DM01), Infrastruktur-Leistungskataster (infrastructure/utility cadastre), Mobile GIS, WebGIS, and BOXtools. Underlying technology is built on the Autodesk platform (notably AutoCAD Map 3D) with proprietary extensions and an INTERLIS 2.4 interface to comply with Swiss data-model standards such as DMAV and SIA405 LKMap 2025. The company is 100% owned by Swiss firms and employees and is not venture-capital-backed.

GEOBOX earns revenue across four streams: distribution of Autodesk software licenses (as a partner of auxalia GmbH, an Autodesk Platinum Partner), sale of its own GIS products (largely one-time licenses), recurring technical support under SLA tiers (Standard and Plus, including an Ask the Expert service), and professional services spanning training (fixed-price courses and webinars such as the CHF 1,200 DMAV migration webinar), consulting, application development, and Oracle database services. Complementary SaaS and IaaS offerings (GEOBOX 360 and GEOBOX ITInfraBOX) provide recurring managed-services revenue. Customers are concentrated in Switzerland across three primary use cases — official cadastral surveying offices, infrastructure/utility network operators, and engineering/architecture firms using Autodesk CAD tools — with no disclosed enterprise logos or large anchor contracts.

The go-to-market is hybrid: direct enterprise sales through a customer portal (software downloads, license management, support ticketing, Ask the Expert) for software and services, plus channel distribution via the Autodesk partner network and the alliance of three Swiss engineering and geometer firms with 20+ years of Autodesk experience. Marketing is conducted through the corporate website, newsletter, LinkedIn, Xing, GitHub, webinar series (InfraWebBOX, QuickWebBOX), and attendance at Swiss industry events such as the AGU Generalversammlung. Pricing for main software is not publicly disclosed; training and support tier pricing is published. The company has no public mobile app, no public API, and no AI/ML capabilities disclosed across its products or services.
