What Axisima does

Axisima (legal name: AXIS INGENIERÍA Y MEDIO AMBIENTE, S.A.P.I. de C.V.) is a privately held Mexican environmental consulting firm founded in 2004 and headquartered in Mérida, Yucatán. The firm specializes in coastal and port engineering, environmental management for real estate and industrial developments, energy sustainability advisory, environmental regulation, and urban permitting. Its core technical asset is a proprietary beach recovery and coastal protection methodology developed since 2004, protected by patents and utility models, with over 100 km of beaches restored or created across 500+ Mexican projects and 15+ international engagements in Central/South America, the United States, India, and Bangladesh.

Axisima's product portfolio is organized around five service lines: Environmental Management Services (EIA, technical-scientific studies, and authority liaison), Port and Coastal Engineering Services (beach restoration, breakwater correction, sand filling), Energy Sustainability Services (zero-CO2 alignment by 2050), Environmental Regulation Services (regularization inspections and waste/emissions supervision), and Urban Management Services (permits and administrative procedures). In 2025 the firm productized a portion of its methodology as BeachPro, a training course for beach profile monitoring. Service delivery relies on a sales-led B2B model targeting government agencies, real estate developers, energy companies, and port operators, with project-based multi-year engagements and quote-based pricing; projects are frequently executed through consortiums with international technology partners including TERRE ARMEE India, CCELL Renewables (UK), and Terra Sea.

The firm operates as a boutique professional services practice with 11-50 employees. Headcount and project economics are consistent with a small Mexican consultancy rather than a scaled platform, and cumulative disclosed project value (+500M MXN over 20 years) implies modest annual billings relative to enterprise-grade competitors. Revenue derives from professional services fees on engagement-by-engagement contracts, with no disclosed subscription, SaaS, or recurring product revenue outside of the recently introduced BeachPro training offering.
