Geographica

What Geographica does

Geographica (Географика ООД) is a Bulgarian private limited liability consulting firm founded in 2008 and headquartered in Sofia at 11 Veliko Tarnovo Street. The company delivers geospatial information services — including GIS application and database development, aerial photogrammetric surveying, spatial planning, regional development consulting, environmental management, and specialized training — exclusively to public-sector clients across Bulgaria. Its customer base spans national ministries (Ministry of Environment and Waters, Ministry of Regional Development, Cabinet of Ministers Administration), national agencies (Agency for Geodesy, Cartography and Cadaster), regional development directorates, and 14+ municipal administrations, with all engagements procured through competitive public tender or direct contracting under quote-based pricing.

The firm's technical capability rests on a proprietary fleet of SenseFly unmanned aerial systems (eBee X fixed-wing drones equipped with RGB and Sequoia multispectral cameras; ALBRIS thermal-inspection quadcopters), Trimble GNSS surveying equipment, and industry-standard software platforms (ArcGIS 10.2, Pix4Dmapper Pro, Pathfinder Office, TerraSync, eMotion 2, MKAD for Windows). The company holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 20000-1:2011, and ISO 27001:2013 certifications valid through 2027. Revenue is generated entirely through professional-services engagements (consulting, surveying, training, GIS implementation); no software-as-a-service, product licensing, or transactional revenue streams are disclosed, and no public pricing exists. Distribution is direct and relationship-led, anchored by a long-standing partnership with Esri Bulgaria (the country's dominant GIS platform vendor) and consortium arrangements such as DZZD 'BIOREPORT' with Planeko Ltd.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Emerging players

• Planet Labs: Operator of a large commercial satellite constellation delivering high-cadence Earth observation imagery. Competes with drone-based aerial survey for vegetation, infrastructure, and environmental mapping use cases served by Geographica.

Broad incumbents

• Esri: Global GIS software leader whose ArcGIS platform underpins Geographica's deliverables. Broad incumbent spanning software, data, and professional services across many verticals, with overlapping consulting and government-sales motion.
• Hexagon Geospatial: Provides enterprise geospatial software (ERDAS, GeoMedia, Luciad) plus photogrammetry and remote-sensing solutions. Broad incumbent offering overlapping GIS, photogrammetry, and aerial-imaging capabilities to government and enterprise clients worldwide.

Others

• Trimble: Supplier of the GNSS receivers (GeoExplorer 7X, Pro 6H) and Pathfinder Office / TerraSync software that Geographica uses for geodetic surveying. Included as an enabling vendor rather than direct competitor.

Regional players

• Esri Bulgaria: Bulgaria's official Esri distributor and GIS implementation partner, based in Sofia. Direct peer because it sells ArcGIS licences and delivers GIS implementation/training to the same municipal and national-government accounts that Geographica serves in Bulgaria.

Direct peers

• Cyient: Global engineering and digital-services firm with an established geospatial practice delivering GIS, photogrammetry, LiDAR, and remote-sensing services to government and utilities. Comparable in service mix (data collection, processing, analytics) and B2G motion.
