Its core offerings — SmartDOM (integrated digital platform for municipal Works Directorates handling construction permits and urban works), SmartDIDECO (digital platform for Community Development Directorates managing social programs), SmartStreet (street and address validation), and GEDIN (document management) — are built on the FileMaker platform with web application layers in Ionic/Angular and web services integration. SOLNET claims SmartDOM is the only complete integrated management solution for DOM operations in Chile and SmartDIDECO is the only complete DIDECO digital solution, with both products listed on Mercado Público's Convenio Marco framework agreement for direct municipal procurement.

Revenue is generated through one-time software licensing, professional services (consulting and training), and managed data center services, distributed via direct sales to private clients and the Convenio Marco channel for government buyers, and the company is privately held with 11-50 employees and no disclosed external funding.

SOLNET competitors and assessment
Company assessmentRegional players
- Sonda: Sonda is a major Latin American IT services and software company with strong government and municipal presence across Chile and the region. Comparable to SOLNET in targeting Latin American municipal and government digital-transformation budgets, but at significantly larger scale.
- ITC Sistemas (Chile): ITC Sistemas is a Chilean IT services and software firm serving public and private clients with ERP, document management, and custom development. Comparable as a regional Chilean systems integrator with overlapping document management (GEDIN) and custom-development offerings.
Broad incumbents
- CivicPlus: CivicPlus sells a suite of software modules to local governments including permitting, community development, asset management, and HR. Its modular go-to-market mirrors SOLNET's cross-sell approach across Works and Community Development.
- Granicus: Granicus offers a government experience platform covering communications, permitting, records, and service delivery. It competes with multiple SOLNET products (SmartDOM, SmartDIDECO, GEDIN) for the same municipal digital-transformation budget.
- Tyler Technologies: Tyler Technologies is a large US-listed provider of software for municipalities and counties (permits, courts, public safety, ERP). Although far larger and US-focused, its product mix for public works and permitting overlaps directly with SOLNET's SmartDOM, making it the clearest functional analog at scale.
- OpenGov: OpenGov provides cloud software for state and local governments covering budgeting, procurement, and financial management. It targets the same municipal buyer as SOLNET and overlaps in financial management and citizen-facing workflows, though at a larger scale and US-focused footprint.
- Munis (Tyler/CentralSquare Public Sector): CentralSquare (formerly Superion/Niche) offers public administration and community development software for municipalities. Comparable to SOLNET's SmartDIDECO in addressing Community Development and citizen-facing municipal services, and to SmartDOM in permitting.
Direct peers
- Accela: Accela is a cloud-native civic-tech platform specializing in permitting, licensing, and code enforcement for local governments. Its permitting suite competes head-to-head with SOLNET's SmartDOM for the same municipal works-directorate use case, and represents the modern cloud-native alternative to a FileMaker-based stack.
Others
- Claris (FileMaker): Claris, an Apple subsidiary, owns and develops the FileMaker low-code platform on which SOLNET's entire product portfolio is built. It is both a critical technology partner and an enabler of SOLNET's go-to-market; a strategic shift at Claris would directly affect SOLNET.
Emerging players
- Cartegraph: Cartegraph provides asset and work-order management software for public works and utilities in municipalities. Comparable to SOLNET's SmartDOM in addressing municipal Works Directorate workflows, with a stronger cloud-native and mobile UX positioning.
