Schneider Geomatics

What Schneider Geomatics does

Schneider Geomatics is the geomatics division of The Schneider Corporation, a privately held civil engineering and surveying firm founded in 1962 and headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. The company delivers land surveying, civil/site engineering, landscape architecture, environmental compliance, subsurface utility engineering, and railroad permitting services, organized around six market segments: Construction, Campuses, Development, Energy & Utilities, Railroad Permitting, and UAS Services. Its technology stack combines conventional surveying with modern 3D positioning tools including terrestrial and aerial Lidar, photogrammetry, GIS-integrated geodesign, inertial measurement units, and FAA-licensed Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems for aerial mapping and inspection.

The firm operates from five Indiana offices (Indianapolis, Vincennes, West Lafayette, Portage, and Michigan City) and serves enterprise clients across education (Purdue University), municipal government (City of Carmel), Class I railroads (Norfolk Southern, CSX, Canadian National, Union Pacific, BNSF), and national energy and utility companies operating across multiple states. It maintains extensive safety credentials — including being the first engineering firm certified by MICCS, plus Veriforce, CCS, OSHA 10, HAZWOPPER, PowerSafe, and listings in ISNetworld and Avetta — that function as prerequisites for utility-sector engagements. Differentiated capability comes from multi-disciplinary in-house teams, embedded safety infrastructure (supported by Safety Resources, Inc. since 2018), and a 2020 corporate restructuring that repositioned the geomatics business under The Schneider Corporation umbrella alongside separate technology brands (qPublic, qPublic.net).

The revenue model is project-based professional services with custom, quote-driven pricing tied to scope, complexity, and technical requirements, and multi-year contract cadences with enterprise clients. The company engages clients through direct enterprise field sales and account management rather than resellers or distributors, supported by content marketing, SEO, social media presence, and case studies demonstrating campus, municipal, and infrastructure project outcomes.
