Geospatial Platforms

National-scale geospatial platforms — data hubs, open-data portals, and SDI infrastructure built on open standards.

Geospatial platforms that scale from one map to a national observatory.

While our GIS service ships solutions, our geospatial platforms ship infrastructure — multi-tenant servers, data pipelines, and API layers that power dozens of dashboards, apps, and integrations on top of one trusted spatial source.

Geospatial platform development is for organizations whose spatial data has outgrown single maps: several departments, partners and apps all need the same layers, kept current and governed in one place. ProVision designs and builds that foundation, from spatial data infrastructure (SDI) and national data hubs to open-data portals where the public, researchers and partners can find, preview and download datasets under clear rules.

Good platforms make data easier to trust, not only easier to see.

What we build

Around this core we add data catalogs with metadata, dataset versioning, usage logs, and access rules that separate public, partner and internal data.

We also plan for the long term: clear data ownership, documented update procedures and backup policies, so the platform keeps working as staff, partners and funding change.

Common use cases

How we work

Who it is for

Our geospatial platforms serve ministries and national agencies building shared spatial data infrastructure; UN agencies, humanitarian partners and NGOs that need one trusted source for risk, needs and response data; municipalities and utilities managing assets across a city or region; and companies and startups in Palestine and the region that need reliable location data and APIs behind their own products.

Many geospatial platforms grow out of a single successful map. We often begin with one priority dataset and one audience, then add layers, partners and applications on the same foundation, rather than building a new map from scratch for every program.

Examples from our work

Why ProVision

We design geospatial platforms as infrastructure, not as one-off maps — so your data investment compounds across years and across teams.

Administration, users, permissions and content run on Legion Engine, our own platform, while the spatial core uses open standards and open tools, so you are never locked in to one vendor. Interfaces are bilingual Arabic/English by default, and we host and support the platform from Palestine, keeping sensitive data close to home when that matters.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a GIS solution and a geospatial platform?

A GIS solution answers a specific need, such as a risk map or a field app. A geospatial platform is the shared infrastructure underneath: one governed spatial database, pipelines and APIs that many maps, apps and partners use at the same time.

Can the platform include a public open-data portal?

Yes. We build open-data portals with searchable catalogs, previews, metadata and downloads, while sensitive layers stay restricted to approved partners or internal users.

Who owns the data and the platform?

You do. Data is stored in open formats and served through open standards such as WMS, WFS and OGC API, so it can be moved or reused by other systems at any time.

Can it handle large datasets and live sensor feeds?

Yes. We use spatial indexing, vector tiles and caching for large datasets, and ingestion pipelines that accept regular uploads or continuous sensor data.

How long does a geospatial platform take and what does it cost?

It depends on scope: the datasets, user groups, applications and integrations involved. After a short discovery call we give you a written estimate, often with a first phase that delivers value early.
