What Geosoft does

Geosoft (legal entity: GEOSOFT Vermessungssysteme GmbH, registered Amtsgericht Kleve HRB 4011) is a German software house founded in 1983 and headquartered in Geldern am Niederrhein. The company develops a modular, integrated surveying and cadastral software suite for the German market. Its core products are GEORG (office and authority management, the organizational hub for ALKIS/NAS data, order, document, invoicing, and time management), GEO8 (graphic calculation, point management, ALKIS attribute handling, and network adjustment), GEOmobile/GEOmobile2/GEOmobile LITE (field data collection with multi-vendor GNSS and total-station support), GEOmapper with the GEOmapper DGM terrain module (CAD/GIS plan creation), and GEOWert (property valuation under §194 BauGB). These modules are tightly interlinked through the proprietary GEOSOFT Datenkarussell and exchange standardized payloads via the GWC format and ALKIS-Sync connectors to leading German cadastral databases (AED SICAD, ibR GEOINFORMATION, CPA Systems).

The company targets a vertical B2B customer base consisting of publicly appointed surveyors (ÖbVI), private surveying and engineering firms, cadastral authorities (Kataster- und Vermessungsämter), municipalities, and expert appraiser committees. Revenue is generated primarily through monthly subscription licensing (e.g., GEORG Basic at €69/month, ÖbVI at €92/month, GEO8 Base at €68/month, GEO8 Basic Package at €161/month), supplemented by hardware sales (notably the ProNivo PNR21 GNSS antenna at €4,600–€6,600), add-on module subscriptions (TIM, NAS-Viewer, ALKIS-Sync, Controlling), and fee-based on-site or web-based training. Distribution is overwhelmingly direct via geosoft.de and a small German reseller network (rmDATA for GEOmapper, technet for Systra); there is no physical retail and no recorded outside funding. The firm is privately held by representatives Elisabeth Kleinbielen, Michael Greven, and content-responsible Hubertus Kleinbielen (Dipl.-Ing., ÖbVI), and operates a hybrid development team of computer scientists and licensed geodesists that also runs an on-site ÖbVI practice for continuous product validation.

Core offering

GEOSOFT Vermessungssysteme GmbH develops and sells an integrated modular software suite for the German surveying and cadastral sector. The suite comprises GEORG (office/authority management with ALKIS data management, billing, and time tracking), GEO8 (graphic calculation and network adjustment), GEOmobile/GEOmobile2/GEOmobile LITE (field data collection on handhelds, tablets, and Android devices), GEOmapper (CAD/GIS with digital terrain modeling), and GEOWert (property valuation per §194 BauGB). Software is licensed on a monthly subscription basis, supplemented by hardware sales (GNSS antennas), training, and support services.

Product overview

GEOSOFT Vermessungssysteme is a German software house specializing in surveying and cadastral management systems, based in Geldern am Niederrhein. The product portfolio is organized as a modular integrated suite of four core products: GEORG (office/authority management and ALKIS data management hub), GEO8 (graphic calculation and surveying software), GEOmobile/GEOmobile2/GEOmobile LITE (field software for outdoor surveying), and GEOmapper/GEOmapper DGM (CAD and digital terrain modeling). An additional product, GEOWert, covers property valuation. These products are tightly interconnected via the 'GEOSOFT Datenkarussell' (data carousel), enabling seamless data exchange of ALKIS/NAS data, coordinates, and projects between modules. GEORG serves as the organizational centerpiece managing customer orders, invoicing, and document flow; GEO8 performs calculations and ALKIS processing; GEOmobile variants handle field data capture; and GEOmapper produces final plans. The suite supports integration with third-party CAD (AutoCAD, GEOgraf), adjustment engines (Systra, KAFKA), GNSS/total station hardware, SAP, Google Calendar, and German cadastral systems (ALKIS, NAS, VUP, TAROT-online). Pricing is subscription-based (€69–161/month for core modules), with numerous optional add-on modules.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Trimble Geospatial: Global incumbent providing surveying instruments and software (Trimble Access, Business Center). Comparable as a broad surveying platform where Geosoft is a niche specialist; supports many of the same GNSS/tachymeter devices Geosoft integrates with.
• Esri (ArcGIS): Global GIS platform vendor whose ArcGIS suite covers mapping, spatial analytics, and enterprise GIS used by German authorities. Comparable on the GIS/spatial data management side where Geosoft's GEOmapper competes for CAD/GIS workflows.
• Autodesk: Global CAD/BIM/AEC software leader offering AutoCAD and Civil 3D. Comparable on the CAD/drafting side where GEOmapper supports DXF/DWG exchange and competes for surveyor drafting workflows.
• Hexagon Geosystems (Leica): Global surveying and geospatial hardware/software giant offering Leica instruments and broader software portfolios. Comparable because Geosoft's field software (GEOmobile) integrates with Leica equipment and could be displaced by Leica's own end-to-end offerings.

Direct peers

• rmDATA GmbH: Austrian/German surveying and cadastral software vendor offering rmGEO, rmGEOmap, and rmDATA products for ÖbVI and authorities. Direct competitor in the same German-speaking niche; also a reseller partner for Geosoft's GEOmapper.
• ibR GEOINFORMATION: German vendor of ALKIS-based cadastral systems integrated with Geosoft's GEORG via ALKIS-Sync. Competes for the same German cadastral authority customers.
• AED SICAD: German GIS/cadastral software vendor providing ALKIS, GEOgraf, and 3A utilities used by German cadastral authorities. Directly comparable as a German cadastre/GIS native with overlapping ALKIS, GEOgraf integration story.
• HHK Datentechnik: German surveying and cadastral software vendor targeting German authorities and ÖbVI offices. Direct competitor in the same German niche with comparable ALKIS-focused offerings.

Regional players

• Softtech (Austrian/German): DACH-focused engineering/construction software provider (Spirit, AVVA) serving surveying and planning offices. Comparable as a regional DACH engineering software peer serving similar professional customers.

Emerging players

• Vitruvius (HHK ALKIS-related): German specialist in ALKIS data management and cadastral processing software. Comparable as an emerging/specialized German ALKIS vendor targeting the same cadastral authority segment.
