What Septima PS does

Septima P/S is a Danish geographic IT consultancy founded in 2012 coincident with Denmark's release of free public geodata ("frie grunddata"), specializing in consulting, custom system development, and proprietary products that enable optimal utilization of spatial and property data. The company's primary customer segment is the Danish public sector — municipalities, government agencies, and public institutions — procured through SKI framework agreements (02.06, 02.17, 02.22), with secondary demand from private environmental consultancies and individual GIS professionals purchasing QGIS training courses.

The product portfolio centers on five core offerings: Septima Widget (a JavaScript component library for embedding interactive maps and data tables into CMS websites), Septima Map (a free embeddable alternative to Google Maps built on Danish public data), Septima Databox (a hosted solution synchronizing 20+ Danish public registers including BBR, Matriklen, GeoDanmark, CVR, DAR, and DAGI into clients' PostgreSQL environments), OneDoor (a unified data access portal), and Mergin Maps hosting (field data collection). The portfolio is complemented by 10+ freely distributed QGIS plugins (GeosearchDK, QLR Browser, Danish Address Tools, Septima Rute, Septima Flow, Metadata-db-linker) and domain solutions such as GeoFA and Tilsyn med Risikotræer. Technology is built on the open-source GIS stack — QGIS, PostgreSQL/PostGIS, OpenLayers, GeoServer, MapServer, GDAL/OGR/PROJ — with custom development primarily in .NET Core and cloud deployment on AWS or Azure.

Revenue is generated through three streams: professional services (custom GIS system development and consulting under SKI framework agreements), licensed/hosted software products (Databox, Widget, Mergin Maps hosting, OneDoor), and QGIS-certified training courses priced between 1,400 and 4,800 DKK excluding VAT. GTM combines enterprise field sales into Danish public sector accounts with direct self-serve course enrollment through the septima.dk calendar. Septima is a QGIS Medium Sustaining Member, a QGIS Certified Training Provider, and chairs the Danish QGIS User Group, and its developers became project owners of the open-source NetTopologySuite library in 2025.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• COWI: Large Danish engineering, environmental, and GIS consultancy that delivers geospatial services to Danish municipalities and infrastructure clients. Comparable as a Danish-headquartered competitor in public-sector GIS consulting and systems integration work.
• Rambøll: Nordic-headquartered engineering and design consultancy with significant GIS, environmental data, and digital public-sector practices in Denmark. Competes with Septima for Danish municipal and national GIS consulting mandates.

Broad incumbents

• Hexagon Geospatial: Provides geospatial data management and analytics platforms (e.g., ERDAS, M.App Enterprise). Competes in the same public-sector GIS procurement category as Septima, especially for organizations evaluating end-to-end geospatial suites against open-source stacks.
• Esri: Global leader in GIS software (ArcGIS). Competes indirectly with Septima in the Danish public sector as the dominant proprietary alternative to Septima's open-source/QGIS stack; many Danish agencies use a mix of Esri and QGIS, making Esri the most strategically comparable incumbent.
• Mapbox: Location platform offering maps, navigation, and geospatial APIs. Overlaps with Septima Widget and Septima Map as a way to embed geospatial experiences into websites and apps, but at a global scale and on commercial APIs rather than Danish open-data foundations.
• Precisely: Data integrity and location intelligence vendor with parcel, address, and geospatial data products. Comparable to Septima Databox at the architectural level — synchronizing authoritative location/property data into customer environments — but at a much larger scale and broader geographic footprint.

Direct peers

• CARTO: Cloud-native geospatial analytics platform offering spatial data warehousing, visualization, and location intelligence. Comparable to Septima's data-platform orientation (Databox, OneDoor) and emphasis on making spatial data usable for non-specialist analysts.
• Safe Software (FME): Developer of FME, a leading spatial data integration and ETL platform widely used by public-sector GIS teams. Highly comparable to Septima Databox's value proposition of synchronizing and transforming multiple public registers into a usable customer environment.

Emerging players

• GIS Cloud: Cloud-based collaborative GIS platform used by public-sector and enterprise customers for spatial data management, mapping apps, and field data collection. Comparable to Septima's hosted product layer (Databox, Mergin Maps hosting, OneDoor) at a smaller, more productized scale.
• Lutra Consulting: Developer of Mergin Maps (field data collection) and Lutra's open-source contributors to QGIS. Strategic partner of Septima and the closest peer in terms of QGIS specialism, open-source GIS focus, and small-team productized offering.
