Frequently Asked Questions

What is Geospatial Development?

Geospatial development is the design and building of custom software applications, tools, and integrations that manage, analyze, and distribute spatial data. For land administration, this includes automated plan validation systems, web-based land portals, CAD-to-GIS converters, data integration pipelines, and mobile field data collection apps, all built specifically for land governance and cadastral management.

Configuration adjusts settings, templates, and workflows within an existing platform like ArcGIS Enterprise, it is faster, lower cost, and lower risk. Custom development builds purpose-specific tools when a configured COTS solution cannot meet your requirements. MNC always recommends starting with configuration before considering custom development and evaluates that question objectively before any build scope is agreed upon.

→ See geospatial use cases: mncl.ca/use-cases/

MNC's most recognized custom-built tools include SPOC (Survey Plan Online Checker) for the Government of Alberta, which reduced review time by 90%, and the Plan Submissions Online (PSO) system for Saskatchewan's Information Services Corporation. MNC also built SmartMap for Alliance Pipeline, a web GIS platform for engineering document and CAD file management.

MNC blends open-source technologies, including PostGIS, QGIS components, and Python-based spatial libraries, with Esri's ArcGIS platform, depending on what best fits your budget, requirements, and technical environment. Open-source tools can significantly reduce licensing costs while still delivering enterprise-grade capabilities. MNC evaluates the right technology mix for each project on its merits.  

System integration is central to MNC's geospatial development work. MNC connects GIS platforms with Land Information Systems, property assessment databases, registry systems, and other organizational data sources using APIs, FME workflows, and custom middleware, creating a single, authoritative, synchronized view of land records across your systems.

MNC integrates GeoAI capabilities directly into custom applications, including automated feature extraction, spatial anomaly detection, and intelligent plan validation logic. SPOC's automated QA/QC checks reduce Alberta Land Titles' manual review workload by 90%. New builds increasingly incorporate machine learning models for pattern recognition, boundary classification, and predictive spatial analysis.
