Geocarta Namibia

What Geocarta Namibia does

Geocarta Namibia is a privately held GIS consultancy and authorized ESRI Business Partner, founded in June 2004 in Windhoek as a Black Empowerment Enterprise. The firm provides specialized GIS services — project management, spatial data integration, geospatial analysis, geodatabase design and development, aerial surveys, metadata implementation, and application development — alongside ESRI software reselling, Trimble-based Mobile GIS hardware supply, and accredited ArcGIS training delivered by ESRI-certified instructors at its own training center.

The company's technology stack is built on the ESRI platform (ArcGIS, ArcSDE, ArcPAD, ArcView GIS, ArcCADASTRE), integrated with ENVI L3Harris remote sensing software and Trimble GPS hardware for mobile field data collection. Core proprietary service offerings include custom Geodatabase architecture on ArcSDE with SQL Server Express, web-based GIS portals, crime capturing platforms, cadastre capture tools, and monitoring and evaluation systems — all configured for client-specific requirements rather than packaged as standalone products.

Revenue is generated primarily through project-based professional services to Namibian government ministries and regional authorities (e.g., MAWLR, NSA, NAMCOR, NAMPOL, Roads Authority, Erongo RED), supplemented by ESRI software resale with ongoing license support and recurring training engagements. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The firm also distributes Trimble GPS hardware and resells ENVI L3Harris software as part of a hybrid direct-sales-plus-channel-revenue model.

Broad incumbents

• Esri: Esri is the global GIS software platform company whose products (ArcGIS, ArcSDE, ArcPAD) Geocarta resells, implements and trains on. As the underlying platform vendor, Esri is the broadest incumbent in the same technology category and a direct upstream partner.
• Hexagon Geospatial: Hexagon Geospatial provides enterprise GIS, remote sensing and spatial analytics software (e.g., ERDAS, GeoMedia). It competes with the ESRI platform Geocarta resells, and targets the same government and infrastructure customers with broader product breadth.
• Trimble: Trimble is the GPS and geospatial hardware vendor whose Mobile GIS platforms Geocarta sells and deploys. Trimble is a broader incumbent in positioning and geospatial hardware, serving a wider portfolio of surveying, mapping and agriculture customers.

Direct peers

• Woolpert: Woolpert (including the acquired AAM) is a geospatial services firm offering GIS consulting, photogrammetry, surveying and remote sensing to government and infrastructure clients. It is comparable to Geocarta as an end-to-end GIS services and mapping provider.
• GeoDecisions:
• ESRI South Africa: ESRI South Africa is the regional ESRI distributor with which Geocarta holds a certified Business Partner/sub-distributor relationship. It operates the same partner model and product portfolio (ESRI software resale, training and support) in an overlapping Southern African geography.
