TRIGIS

What TRIGIS does

TRIGIS (legal entity: TRIGIS GeoServices GmbH) is a German geodata services company headquartered in Korbussen near Gera, founded in 1990, operating a network of 13 branch and project offices across Germany with a workforce of more than 300 specialists. The firm delivers engineering surveying, 3D laser scanning, aerial photogrammetry, satellite remote sensing (including Persistent Scatterer Interferometry certified EU-wide by DLR), mobile mapping, UAV-based surveying, geo-monitoring, and building information modeling, alongside a proprietary internet-based GIS product called TRIGIS WEB-MAP (TWM) marketed to municipalities and public contracting entities. The portfolio spans specialized registers for streets, green areas, trees, lighting, pit and canal networks, solar capacity, and heat emissions, addressing municipal, rail-and-transport, building-industry, mining, supply-and-disposal, telecommunications, industrial, planning, and architectural-preservation customers. TRIGIS holds TÜV ISO 9001:2015 certification (valid 2024–2027), EU-wide PSI certification from DLR for deformation analysis with documented 0.46 mm/year accuracy, and PQ-VOL prequalification for German public procurement, with stated ISO/IEC compliance and Norderstedt UAV operations.

The business operates primarily on a project-based professional services revenue model, with TWM offered on transparent monthly/annual flat-rate subscriptions that introduce a recurring component. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales supported by a regional branch network enabling proximity to German municipal and industrial customers. Key named accounts include German railway operator DB AG (rail surveying services), German municipalities (cadastral and GIS work), and enercity AG via the jointly-controlled TRIGIS NET GmbH joint venture focused on network documentation for electricity, gas, water, district heating, and telecommunications. The cooperation ecosystem extends to GeoFly GmbH (airborne laser scanning data) and GeoContent GmbH (solar monitoring data), while wholly-owned subsidiary IVG Vermessung adds surveying capacity. Corporate branding on the website (logo-socotec-en.svg filename) indicates affiliation with the SOCOTEC group. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; TWM is the only product line with published billing cadence.

Direct peers

• GAF AG: Munich-based provider of satellite remote sensing, earth observation, and InSAR/PSI deformation analysis with EU public-sector clients. Directly comparable to TRIGIS's DLR-certified PSI capability and a fellow participant in EU-wide terrestrial movement-map projects.
• Cyclomedia: Dutch geo-data company specializing in mobile mapping, street-level imagery, and 3D city models for European municipalities, utilities, and transportation agencies. Directly comparable to TRIGIS's mobile-mapping and 3D laser scanning practice, with a similar European municipal-customer focus.
• Fugro: Dutch global geo-data specialist (~9,000+ employees) providing land surveying, aerial mapping, mobile mapping, InSAR/deformation monitoring, and asset integrity services to rail, public-sector, and utility clients across Europe. Closest direct peer to TRIGIS by service mix and customer base, though materially larger and more internationally diversified.
• Aerodata International: Belgian aerial survey and photogrammetry firm offering airborne imaging, LiDAR, and orthophoto production across Europe and Africa. Closely comparable to TRIGIS's Aerophotogrammetrie and UAV service lines in terms of technology, deliverable types, and end-customer mix (governments, utilities, infrastructure operators).

Broad incumbents

• Hexagon (Leica Geosystems): Swiss-Swedish global leader in geospatial measurement technologies (including Leica Geosystems) covering sensors, surveying instruments, GIS, and aerial imaging. Overlaps with TRIGIS across 3D laser scanning, mobile mapping, photogrammetry, and GIS — but as part of a much broader portfolio serving global enterprise and government customers.
• Esri: Global GIS software platform (ArcGIS) used by most German municipalities. Esri competes indirectly with TRIGIS WEB-MAP as the default municipal-GIS substrate and shapes procurement requirements that TRIGIS must align with, but does not deliver the surveying/3D-scanning services that constitute TRIGIS's core.
• Trimble: US-listed global technology company providing GNSS, surveying, mapping, GIS, and geo-monitoring solutions to construction, agriculture, and public-sector markets. Competes with TRIGIS in mobile mapping, GIS integration, and infrastructure monitoring but with a vastly larger software/hardware portfolio.

Others

• GeoFly GmbH: Magdeburg-based airborne survey provider delivering LiDAR echo points for DTM/DSM and aerial imagery to TRIGIS. Documented as a cooperation partner rather than a competitor; comparable technology stack (UAV/aerial LiDAR, photogrammetry) but operates in a different role in the value chain.
• M.O.S.S. Computer Grafik Systeme: German vendor of surveying and CAD software (e.g., GEM-Bau, GEOgraf) widely used by German Vermessungsbüros. Complementary rather than competitive: M.O.S.S. equips surveyors with software, while TRIGIS delivers services and its own TWM platform to the same end customers.

Regional players

• Sogelink: French infrastructure-data and network-documentation software/services firm serving public works, utilities, and municipalities. Similar to TRIGIS NET GmbH's network-documentation value proposition but primarily serving France, making it a regional analogue rather than a direct German competitor.
