What Topocart Topografia Engenharia e Aerolevantamentos does

Topocart Topografia Engenharia e Aerolevantamentos Ltda. is a Brazilian geospatial technology company founded in 1991 and headquartered in Brasília, providing end-to-end territorial data acquisition and management services to government agencies and private enterprises. Its core service portfolio spans aerial surveying (photogrammetry, LiDAR, drone-based and manned aircraft missions), topographic and geodetic surveys, bathymetry, infrastructure cadastre with BIM modeling, multifunctional municipal cadastre, and urban/rural land regularization, executed through an owned fleet of planes, helicopters, drones, and terrestrial mobile mapping vehicles equipped with latest-generation sensors including the Teledyne Galaxy PRIME+ and Galaxy EDGE+ LiDAR systems.

The company's technology backbone is the proprietary Geo360 web-based GIS platform, developed by its subsidiary eTopocart, which collects, integrates, stores, and publishes geographic data with customizable modules for cadastral administration, property valuation (Observatório do Mercado Imobiliário), and 3D visualization. The 2024-launched Gather mobile application extends field data collection offline, and the 2026-launched GEO360 PRO introduces multi-screen synchronized visualization and 3D Gaussian Splatting/Mesh publishing. Over 33 years of operation, Topocart has mapped more than 640,000 km² of territory, executed cadastral modernization for 150+ municipalities, and delivered projects in Brazil, Uruguay, and Angola.

Topocart operates a B2B enterprise field-sales go-to-market, primarily winning contracts through Brazilian public-sector tenders and direct commercial engagements with energy, mining, and logistics enterprises. Revenue is generated through four streams: project-based geospatial data acquisition services, recurring Geo360 platform subscriptions to municipal and state governments, recurring Observatório do Mercado Imobiliário subscriptions for property tax management, and technical training and capacity-building workshops. Pricing is project-specific and not publicly disclosed. Notable customers include DNIT (12,432 km federal highway domain), the Government of São Paulo State (250,000+ km² cartographic base), Manaus (520 km² cadastral modernization with ~600,000 properties), AXIA Energia/UHE Tucuruí, Vale, Anglo American, Petrobras, Enel, and Rumo Logística.
