What Spatial Focus does

Spatial Focus GmbH is a Vienna-based geospatial software and GIS consulting firm founded in 2015 by Christoph Perger, Christopher Dresel, and Sebastian Greifeneder. The company delivers four interconnected service lines — Web Solutions, Geospatial data modeling, Mobile Apps, and Consulting — for clients that need to turn complex spatial data into operational software. Its technology stack centers on the .NET ecosystem (C#, ASP.NET Core, Blazor, .NET MAUI) deployed on Microsoft Azure, with PostgreSQL/PostGIS for geospatial storage and adherence to ISO 191xx and OGC standards (WMS, WFS). The team has open-sourced proprietary IL-weaving tools (EFLazyLoading.Fody, SpatialFocus.AddSetter.Fody, CustomLazyLoadingInterceptor) that enable clean Domain-Driven Design with Entity Framework, signaling architectural depth beyond commodity consulting.

The firm operates on a professional services model with project-based, quote-based engagements and no public pricing. It serves a mix of Austrian federal ministries (BMLUK, Umweltbundesamt, FFG), international institutions (European Environment Agency, ESA, IIASA, University of Queensland), NGOs (WWF, Birdlife International), and commercial enterprises (Roche Austria, EVN/Wiener Netze, Austria Juice, Datema, Unisys, GI Geoinformatik). Named products include Landmanager, SatGrass, PyroScout, ONP, SEA Network, AusCover Geo-Wiki, RESY, the Habitat Networking App, the Austria Juice App, the Clinical Trial Information App for Roche, and the LISA Land Information System Austria.

Spatial Focus is founder-led and privately held with no external investors, parent company, or disclosed revenue. It maintains a deliberately small 4-person team and distributes work through direct client engagement, a strategic partnership with GI Geoinformatik in the DACH region, and participation in Austrian Standards (Committee 084 Geoinformation and Surveying) and AGEO. Geographic reach extends opportunistically to Hungary, Poland, Luxembourg, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Australia through individual project engagements, though the firm is not positioned as a global delivery operation.

Core offering

Spatial Focus provides custom geospatial software development and consulting across four integrated areas: Web Solutions, Geospatial Services, Mobile Apps, and Consulting. The firm combines GIS, Earth Observation, and geodata modeling expertise with modern .NET/Azure cloud development to deliver end-to-end solutions — from data modeling per ISO/OGC standards, through web GIS and cross-platform mobile applications, to European cloud hosting and ongoing operations. Engagement is project-based, spanning targeted specialist expertise, individual technical components, or full project lifecycle management.

Product overview

Spatial Focus offers a comprehensive portfolio of four interconnected service areas: Web Solutions (modern cloud-first web applications), Geospatial Services (data modeling with ISO/OGC standards), Mobile Apps (cross-platform applications), and Consulting (GIS, Earth Observation, and software development expertise). Their product portfolio includes named solutions such as Landmanager (lease and land management), SatGrass (satellite grassland monitoring), PyroScout (wildfire detection), AusCover Geo-Wiki (citizen science validation), RESY (agricultural reference system), Habitat Networking App (ecological assessment), Austria Juice App (farmer information), and the Clinical Trial Information App. The company develops custom geospatial software combining remote sensing, statistics, and machine learning, serving sectors including environmental monitoring, agriculture, remote sensing, public administration, and specialized business processes.
