What Geovia does

GEOVIA is a mining and geology software brand wholly owned by Dassault Systèmes SE (Euronext Paris: DSY), a French multinational software corporation founded in 1981. Operating as a product line under Dassault's 3DEXPERIENCE platform umbrella, GEOVIA provides end-to-end mine planning, geological modeling, and geospatial intelligence software used at over 1,200 mining sites worldwide. Its core product portfolio consists of Surpac for comprehensive mine planning and geological modeling, MineSched for tactical mine planning and scheduling, Whittle for strategic mine planning with the FastFlow pit optimization engine, and 3DEXPERIENCE GEOVIA as the unifying cloud-connected platform.

The underlying technology is built on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, integrating block models, haulage, blast designs, and geospatial data into engineering-grade 3D environments that support collaboration across distributed teams. Featured capabilities include parametric mine design, integrated implicit and explicit geology modeling, real-time mine operations management, and the Unified Tailings Digital Platform developed in partnership with Insight Terra. GEOVIA sells primarily to enterprise mining companies (with named customers including Cementos Argos, Zijin Mining Group, ECCUS, and Regis Resources), as well as to geoscientists, earth engineers, and urban planners.

Revenue is generated through enterprise software licensing and subscriptions (on-premises and 3DEXPERIENCE cloud), professional services, training, and an Academic License Program for educational institutions. Distribution is conducted via Dassault Systèmes' global direct enterprise sales force with quote-based pricing and dedicated sales representatives, supplemented by regional industry events (e.g., Mineria Digital 2026 in Chile), webinars, and a Champions Program for expert users. GEOVIA is operationally embedded within Dassault Systèmes and does not have separate funding, ownership structure, or financial disclosures as an independent entity.

Core offering

GEOVIA provides end-to-end mine planning, geology modelling, geospatial intelligence, and geospatial modelling software for mining companies, infrastructure firms, and urban planning organizations. Powered by Dassault Systèmes' 3DEXPERIENCE platform, the portfolio includes Surpac (comprehensive mine planning and geological modelling), MineSched (tactical scheduling), Whittle (strategic mine planning with pit optimization), and 3DEXPERIENCE GEOVIA, supported by professional services, training, and an academic license program.

Product overview

GEOVIA is a portfolio of mining software solutions under Dassault Systèmes, powered by the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. The offering consists of a unified platform (3DEXPERIENCE GEOVIA) complemented by four core specialized products: Surpac for comprehensive mine planning and geological modelling, MineSched for tactical mine planning and scheduling, and Whittle for advanced strategic mine planning with pit optimization. Additional offerings include academic licensing, professional services, and training. The software enables geoscientists, earth engineers, and urban planners to design, analyze, and simulate earth's resources and automate processes for improved operational efficiency and optimized resource utilization across mining, infrastructure, and urban planning environments.

Partnerships

One partnership is on record.

• Insight TerracoreTechnology or Integration · 21 July 2026GEOVIA has partnered with Insight Terra to deliver the Unified Tailings Digital Platform, connecting real-time geotechnical, water, and climate monitoring with engineering-grade 3D models. This integration enables instrument safety states to be visible the moment they change, providing enhanced tailings performance management for mining operations. The partnership combines GEOVIA's mine planning expertise with Insight Terra's monitoring capabilities.

Broad incumbents

• Seequent (Bentley Subsurface): Seequent (now part of Bentley) provides Leapfrog (geological modelling) and other subsurface software; it is a broad subsurface/geoscience incumbent that competes with GEOVIA in 3D geological modelling for mining and civil projects.
• Trimble: Trimble provides geospatial and surveying hardware/software widely used in mining operations (Trimble Access, Trimble Business Center), overlapping with GEOVIA's geospatial and surveying-adjacent workflows, though not a direct mine-planning competitor.
• Bentley Systems: Bentley is a broad infrastructure software incumbent with OpenFlows, OpenGround, and MineCycle-style offerings; it overlaps with GEOVIA in subsurface modelling, geotechnical analysis, and infrastructure digital twins, though mining is one of many verticals.

Direct peers

• Carlson Software: Carlson Software offers Carlson Mining modules for geological modelling, mine planning, and surveying, and is a competing specialist vendor particularly active in surface mining and small-to-mid cap operators.
• Hexagon Mining: Hexagon's Mining division (formerly MineSight) offers geological modelling, mine planning, fleet management, and surveying solutions that compete directly with GEOVIA's portfolio in both surface and underground mining.
• Maptek: Maptek is a direct mining software competitor offering Vulcan (geological modelling and mine planning), MineMapper, and related solutions to open-pit and underground mining customers globally, overlapping head-to-head with GEOVIA's Surpac, MineSched, and Whittle.
• Deswik: Deswik is a direct competitor focused on mine planning, scheduling, and geological modelling software (Deswik.CAD, Deswik.Sched, Deswik.GeoTools), serving many of the same mining enterprise customers as GEOVIA.
• RPMGlobal: RPMGlobal offers strategic mine planning, scheduling, and geological consulting software such as XPAC and MineMarket, directly overlapping with Whittle, MineSched, and Surpac.
• Datamine: Datamine provides Studio OP, MineSched-equivalent scheduling tools, and geological modelling solutions used by mining companies worldwide; it is one of GEOVIA's closest direct competitors across the mine planning lifecycle.
• Minemax: Minemax specializes in strategic and operational mine planning optimization (Minemax Planner, Scheduler), competing most directly with GEOVIA's Whittle and MineSched products for production scheduling and pit optimization workloads.
