e-Cassini

What e-Cassini does

e-Cassini is a French SaaS company headquartered in Cholet that develops and commercializes GéoCassini, a 100% web-based platform for storing, managing, visualizing, updating, and exchanging geospatial data — including 3D point clouds, BIM/IFC models, orthophotos, CAD files, and 360° imagery. The platform serves primarily French surveyors (géomètres-experts), engineering firms, government and municipal entities, infrastructure operators (water, sanitation, energy), and — via the Luciole des Bois sub-brand — the forestry sector. It positions itself as an all-in-one alternative to fragmented desktop geospatial tools, with documented deployments including a 1,800 km Mobile Mapping project for road management in Gipuzkoa, Spain, a 60+ Gb BIM eco-quartier project in Vitoria-Gasteiz, and a 3D inventory of water and sanitation networks in Urnieta.

Technically, GéoCassini is built on a Python 3.9/Django REST backend and an Angular 14+/TypeScript frontend, deployed on Google Cloud Platform (App Engine, Cloud SQL, Cloud Storage) with Firebase Authentication. Visualization leverages Potree, Three.js, and CesiumJS for 3D rendering and 3D Tiles streaming of large point clouds, while geospatial processing uses GDAL, PDAL, and LAStools. The architecture supports a REST API ecosystem (GéoStore) that allows third-party editors to publish and commercialize data and algorithms, and a Reality Capture module handles E57/LAS/LAZ/IFC imports with AI-assisted object detection and collision risk analysis.

Commercially, e-Cassini operates a tiered subscription model — GeoFree and GéoPublic (free), Database, Pro, Expert, and Infinite (paid, the last including white-label and full API) — alongside custom enterprise pricing. Go-to-market is sales-led via a "Request a Demo" CTA, complemented by a partner ecosystem of 25+ technology, business, and international distributor partners (notably Geograma in Spain, Bridge Brazil, NV5 Geospatial, RezoProcess, Norm3D, Setis, Veolia, NTT Data). The company holds the Solar Impulse Efficient Solution label (2021, renewed 2024) and is founder-led by CEO Andrés Serna, with no disclosed institutional funding beyond a 2019 FCJ Venture Builder link.

Revenue model

1. SaaS Subscription - GéoCassini Platform: Annual or multi-year SaaS subscriptions to the GéoCassini platform. Multiple tiers (Database, Pro, Expert, Infinite) with varying feature sets including data storage, visualization, project management, API access, white-labeling, and client/user management capabilities. Free tiers (GeoFree, GéoPublic) provide entry-level access with paid tiers monetizing advanced features.
2. GéoStore / Marketplace Commission: Third-party editors publish and commercialize data (point clouds, digital models, panoramic photos, topographic plans, GIS) and algorithms within the GéoStore ecosystem. e-Cassini likely takes a commission on data/algorithm transactions facilitated through the marketplace.
3. API Access and White-Label Licensing: Revenue from white-label branding options (Infinite tier), API access for developers and partners, and algorithm distribution through the GéoStore.
4. Data Acquisition Services (via Partner Network): Partner ecosystem (mobile mapping, drone operators, satellite data providers) generates data that is stored and processed on the platform. Revenue is derived from the platform's role in data hosting, visualization, and management.

Broad incumbents

• Esri: Esri's ArcGIS platform is the dominant GIS suite used by the same government, surveying, and infrastructure customers e-Cassini targets. It is a broad incumbent with overlapping spatial-data management capabilities, though typically deployed as desktop/enterprise server rather than a web-native SaaS for 3D point clouds.
• Bentley Systems: Bentley offers infrastructure digital-twin and geospatial platforms (iTwin, OpenCities, ContextCapture) that overlap with GéoCassini's surveying, BIM, and infrastructure asset management use cases, but as part of a much broader AEC portfolio rather than a focused web-SaaS point-cloud platform.
• Hexagon Geospatial: Hexagon Geospatial (Power Portfolio, Luciad, M.App) provides geospatial visualization and analysis tools used by governments, utilities, and surveyors, overlapping with e-Cassini's point cloud and infrastructure asset management capabilities as part of a broader portfolio.
• Trimble: Trimble combines geospatial hardware (mobile mapping, GNSS) with software for surveying, construction, and infrastructure — serving the same géomètres-experts and engineering-firm buyers, though as a large diversified incumbent rather than a focused web-SaaS point-cloud manager.

Emerging players

• NavVis: NavVis provides web-based spatial mapping and digital-twin solutions for indoor and outdoor environments, including point cloud capture and cloud-based visualization. It overlaps with GéoCassini's reality capture and 3D visualization capabilities for surveying and facility management use cases.
• Pointly: Pointly is a point cloud AI/classification SaaS that processes LiDAR and mobile-mapping data — the same type of data the GéoCassini Reality Capture module manages. It is an emerging player in the AI-on-point-cloud space and a likely competitor to e-Cassini's AI-assisted asset detection features.
• Matterport: Matterport offers a SaaS platform for capturing, viewing, and sharing 3D spatial data and digital twins. It overlaps with GéoCassini's reality capture and web-based 3D visualization modules but is more focused on real estate and indoor environments than surveying/infrastructure.
• Pointscene: Pointscene is a cloud-based platform for sharing, viewing, and collaborating on 3D point clouds and reality capture data, targeting surveyors and infrastructure professionals — directly comparable to GéoCassini's collaboration and visualization model for the same buyer profile.

Direct peers

• Cesium: Cesium provides 3D geospatial visualization and 3D Tiles streaming technology — exactly the underlying layer e-Cassini uses to render point clouds in GéoCassini. It is a direct technology competitor in web-based 3D geospatial data delivery for enterprise and government users.
• Safe Software (FME): Safe Software's FME platform is a leading geospatial data integration, transformation, and processing engine used by surveyors and GIS professionals. It is a direct peer in managing interoperability across geospatial formats — one of the central pain points GéoCassini addresses.
