Alongside hardware resale, the company runs the WSCORS Continuously Operating Reference Station network providing RTK correction services across the Maldives and operates a Google Street View trusted imagery capture service producing georeferenced 11K 360-degree panoramas.

The company generates revenue through four streams: (1) one-time CHCNAV hardware sales via its online store (surveying.bitrix24.shop); (2) recurring managed-services revenue from the WSCORS network providing RTK corrections; (3) software licenses for LandStar7, CGO2, and HydroSurvey7 typically bundled with hardware; and (4) professional surveying services delivered by its 29-person team, covering land surveying, hydrographic surveying, 3D laser scanning, UAV mapping, engineering surveys, and Street View imagery. Go-to-market is product-led growth through the e-commerce store combined with direct enterprise/B2G sales via a website contact and booking form, supported by a product-centric website (surveying-company.net). Customer segments are concentrated in Maldives Government agencies and NGOs, with secondary demand from construction, marine construction, dredging/reclamation, renewable energy, water/wastewater, and land management verticals.
