What SmallGIS does

SmallGIS Sp. z o.o. is a privately held Polish geoinformatics firm headquartered in Krosno with a regional branch in Kraków (Lesser Poland Branch), operating in the market for approximately two decades. The company builds and sells GIS software under the SprintMAP brand — a family of products designed to manage Polish standardized spatial data within the ArcGIS ESRI environment — and operates integrated manned aerial platforms (SkyFoton, SkyLaser) and an ultralight UltraLaser aircraft equipped with LiDAR sensors and photogrammetric cameras for aerial surveying, environmental monitoring, and wildlife counting. Beyond software and aerial services, SmallGIS delivers custom spatial information systems, professional GIS training via the OnGeo.pl platform (covering ArcGIS and QGIS at basic to advanced levels), and consumer-facing portals including Geoportal Na Mapie (interactive solar map of Poland) and OnGeoCeny (real estate valuation application).

The business model is multi-streamed: one-time software licenses for SprintMAP, professional services revenue from remote sensing/photogrammetry/aerial work, managed services revenue from large government IT projects (asbestos database, SIPAM maritime system, ZIT Portal), and EU-co-financed training and platform contracts under programs such as PO WER, KPO (National Reconstruction Plan), and ESA. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based across both government procurement and private engagements. Customer concentration is overwhelmingly in Polish public administration — ministries, agencies, local government units, the National Forests (PGL Lasy Państwowe, a 15-year anchor customer), and POLSA — with ESA-co-funded international projects (IWBSF, TIKKA) representing the company's primary exposure outside Poland.

Operationally, the company is founder/management owned with a registered share capital of 250,000 PLN, no external venture or growth equity disclosed, and a headcount of 11-50. The company is led by President Antoni Łabaj, who acts as the principal public spokesperson at industry events. Subsidiaries/brands include OnGeo (mapping tools and training), SprintMAP (GIS software), and SkyFoton (aerial environmental monitoring platforms), forming an integrated capital group structure.

Broad incumbents

• Trimble Geospatial: Global incumbent in surveying, mapping, and geospatial software/hardware. Overlaps with SmallGIS in LiDAR-based surveying and GIS data management for government and infrastructure clients.
• Hexagon Geospatial: Global incumbent offering Power Portfolio (ERDAS, GeoMedia, M.App) GIS and remote sensing platforms. Competes broadly with SmallGIS's SprintMAP in enterprise GIS, with much larger geographic and product footprint.
• HERE Technologies: Global mapping and location platform whose geospatial data, APIs, and tools overlap with the location-based services offered by SmallGIS's OnGeo subsidiary, though at a vastly larger scale.
• Maxar Technologies: Leading satellite imagery and Earth observation provider whose high-resolution imagery competes with the upstream remote sensing data SmallGIS analyzes for forestry, agriculture, and government clients.

Direct peers

• MGGP Aero: Polish aerial surveying company operating LiDAR and photogrammetric aircraft for cartography, forestry, and infrastructure projects. Directly comparable to SmallGIS's SkyFoton/SkyLaser aerial service line in the Polish market.
• GIS Partner: Polish GIS specialist providing software, training, and consulting around ESRI and open-source GIS stacks. Directly competes with SmallGIS in the Polish government and enterprise GIS services market.
• OPEGIEKA: Polish GIS and geospatial services firm delivering spatial data management, photogrammetry, and remote sensing to public-sector and private clients. Directly competes with SmallGIS for Polish government GIS and aerial surveying contracts.
• Esri Poland: Polish arm of ESRI, the global GIS platform vendor on which SmallGIS's SprintMAP software is built. Directly comparable as a Poland-based GIS software and services provider serving the same ministries and local governments.

Emerging players

• Planet Labs: Satellite Earth observation company providing frequent-revisit imagery used in agriculture, forestry, and government applications - the same downstream use cases SmallGIS addresses with remote sensing analytics.
• SatAgro: Polish precision agriculture platform using satellite data for crop monitoring and decision support. Overlaps with SmallGIS's OnGeo.Agro agricultural land monitoring offering in the Polish market.
