What X-Spatial does

X-Spatial LLC is a private geospatial software and services firm headquartered in Los Angeles, California, that specializes in digital twin and spatial data management solutions for airport operators and port authorities. Founded in 2006 as a spin-off from Kelar Corporation (established 1982), the company develops Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) products built on Oracle Locator/Spatial database technology, with a core differentiator being lossless interoperability between Autodesk and ESRI platforms across CAD, BIM, and GIS data formats. The product architecture is anchored by GDMS (Geospatial Data Modeling System) and extended via specialized modules: AviSoft for lease and concessions management, UMS for utilities, PMS for pavement, ELSEE for electrical panels, LMA for lease exhibits, AvStats for aviation statistics, DDMS for documents and drawings, GDMS Mobile for field operations, and 3D View (built on SOLV3D's engine) for facility walkthroughs.

The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting public-sector airport authorities and port authorities in the United States, with named flagship customers including Los Angeles World Airports (LAX), Boston Logan International Airport via MASSPORT, and Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT). Revenue is generated through two streams: software licensing (perpetual purchase, subscription lease, or ASP rental, with on-premise or cloud deployment) and a broad professional services practice covering consulting, project management, systems configuration and integration, applications development, data processing, quality management, change management, training, and ongoing support delivered under PRINCE2-based project management methodology. Customer engagements are characteristically long-tenured, with AviSoft at MASSPORT in continuous operation for 19+ years and a single LAX utilities data processing project covering 100+ years of historical drawings and 100,000+ records.
