Geo-Office

What Geo-Office does

Geo-Office Gesellschaft für graphische Datenverarbeitung und Vermessung mbH is a German technical-scientific service company founded in 2000 by Dipl.-Ing. Uwe Krause and headquartered in Falkensee, Brandenburg. The firm operates three integrated pillars: Geoservices (terrestrial laser scanning, GNSS/RTK, photogrammetry via UAV and terrestrial methods, Scan2BIM, 3D 360° documentation, and CAD/GIS-to-BIM geodata management); Consulting (digitization strategies, feasibility studies, and employee qualification); and Research & Development (proprietary multisensor platforms MoVEQuaD and SmartVision, plus the LandBIM-GO digital BIM assistant). Its core technology stack combines terrestrial, satellite, and UAV-based sensors through a modular VR-ready multisensor architecture, with outputs integrated into CAD, GIS, BIM, and XR/AR/VR systems; legally compliant geodetic process chains and quality assurance are emphasized as differentiators.

The business model blends four revenue streams: project-based professional services (geoservices and consulting), R&D projects typically co-funded through Germany's ZIM (Zentrales Innovationsprogramm Mittelstand) program over 24-30 month cycles with university and research partners, hardware product sales (target tables, AD-12 automatic tribrachs, GNSS adapters, ATV tripods, and mounting accessories developed from internal R&D), and vocational training revenue via the AZAV-certified Geobusters Akademie. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with hardware distributed through the company's own e-commerce storefront and services delivered by an in-house surveying team. Customer segments are vertical-oriented and span construction and engineering (primary), public administration and government, research and education, and professional development, with the named customer footprint (FIS Falkensee, Comenius Grundschule Oranienburg, REWE Objekt Eldenaer Straße) suggesting a regional, project-driven book of business concentrated in Berlin-Brandenburg. The company is founder-controlled, privately held with no external venture or private equity backing disclosed, and sister-company IVB Krause + Partner extends its reach into sovereign Brandenburg surveying tasks.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• RIEGL Laser Measurement Systems: Austrian manufacturer of terrestrial, mobile, airborne and UAV LiDAR scanners used in surveying, BIM and heritage documentation. Comparable to Geo-Office because both operate in the DACH geospatial hardware/services market and sell into the same multisensor, Scan2BIM and 3D documentation use cases.
• Zoller + Fröhlich GmbH: German manufacturer of terrestrial laser scanners (Z+F IMAGER) used widely in BIM/Scan2BIM workflows. Directly comparable to Geo-Office because Geo-Office's GNSS-Adapter explicitly integrates with Z+F systems, and both serve BIM/laser-scanning documentation customers in the DACH region.

Broad incumbents

• Topcon Positioning Group: Global manufacturer of GNSS, optical and laser surveying instruments with MAGNET software suite. Comparable as a surveying hardware/software incumbent that competes with Geo-Office's services in cadastral, engineering and BIM surveying projects.
• Leica Geosystems (Hexagon): Global leader in surveying instruments (laser scanners, total stations, GNSS) and broader geospatial software. Comparable as the dominant OEM whose hardware ecosystem Geo-Office's accessories (AD-12 tribrach, GNSS-Adapter, target plates) are designed to extend and complement.
• Autodesk (BIM portfolio): Provider of BIM/CAD software (Revit, AutoCAD, Civil 3D) used by Geo-Office's customers and across Scan2BIM delivery. Comparable because both target the digitalization of construction documentation and BIM workflows, though Autodesk is software-led and far larger.
• Trimble Inc. Provides GNSS, optical surveying, 3D scanning and BIM software (Tekla). Comparable to Geo-Office because both target construction/surveying digitalization and Trimble's Scan-to-BIM and reality-capture offerings overlap with Geo-Office's multisensor acquisition and BIM services.
• Esri (GIS software): Dominant GIS platform provider (ArcGIS) used in the same geospatial data management workflows Geo-Office delivers via its CAD/GIS/BIM services. Comparable because Geo-Office's geospatial data management, utility documentation and GIS web-client setup work sits on top of and competes with adjacent Esri-driven solutions.
• FARO Technologies: Provider of 3D measurement and imaging hardware/software focused on AEC, public safety and manufacturing. Comparable to Geo-Office because both serve Scan2BIM and as-built documentation workflows, though FARO operates at much larger scale globally.

Regional players

• AllTerra Deutschland: German Trimble distributor and surveying service provider offering GNSS, scanning and UAV solutions. Comparable to Geo-Office as a DACH surveying competitor with overlapping service catalogue (terrestrial scanning, UAV photogrammetry, GIS data management) and similar customer base in construction and public administration.

Emerging players

• SCAN3D / Vermessung 3D service firms: Smaller German 3D scanning and BIM service bureaus offering laser scanning, Scan2BIM and digital twin modelling. Comparable to Geo-Office as direct regional competitors in the same Scan2BIM, as-built and 360° documentation services for construction and real estate clients in Germany.
