What regioDATA does

regioDATA GmbH is a German geoinformation services company founded in 1997 and headquartered in Lörrach, Südbaden. It provides end-to-end services and software for supply and disposal network infrastructure — surveying, network documentation, data management, planning and construction supervision, and GIS administration — for municipalities, energy and water utilities, district heating operators, broadband providers, and construction firms. Its core software portfolio centers on three proprietary platforms: geoSERVICE (a web-based GIS for utilities and municipalities), geoPORTAL (a public-facing portal exposing selected geodata), and planSERVICE (an online pipe-network information enquiry system). Supporting technology includes WebGIS development (PHP, JavaScript, HTML), GIS database administration on PostgreSQL and Oracle, and spatial data capture using UAV photogrammetry, laser scanning, and conventional surveying methods. Notable technical work includes a custom QGIS-based hydraulic calculation application developed for the City of Freiburg's drainage authority (Stadtentwässerung) and UAV-based 3D/4D data capture for H2 pipeline corridor planning.

The company generates revenue primarily through professional services (planning, surveying, construction management under HOAI), managed services (ongoing GIS operation, network documentation, and data administration), and software/hosting (custom webGIS development and platform hosting). Customer acquisition is sales-led, leveraging direct enterprise engagement, regional presence across four offices in Lörrach, Freiburg, Offenburg, and Donaueschingen, and demand-generation through the public geoPORTAL and free planSERVICE portals. The company employs approximately 150 staff, executes over 500 projects per year, and reports annual revenue of approximately €16 million.

regioDATA is majority-owned by Badenova AG & Co. KG, with additional shareholders naturenergie hochrhein AG and the City of Lörrach, positioning it as a captive specialist within a regional utility group. Operations are concentrated in Südbaden with no disclosed international footprint. Strategic emphasis is on the German energy transition (Energiewende), with visible work in hydrogen infrastructure, district heating expansion, broadband rollout, and cross-sector network documentation. The company has no disclosed AI/ML capabilities, no external funding history, and no M&A activity, operating as a stable, professionally managed regional services firm.
