SPM TECHNOLOGY • FIELD TO FINISH

Technology that turns spatial data into confident decisions.

SPM combines modern web engineering, spatial databases, field technology, remote sensing, open standards, and applied intelligence to help clients deliver work and help students learn the workflows behind it.

Deployment-ready
THE DELIVERY STACK
One connected path
01 · Capture

Field and sensor inputs

02 · Process

Convert raw data into evidence

03 · Store

Keep information structured

04 · Serve

Publish the right information

05 · Operate

Automate and observe workflows

06 · Decide

Deliver useful decisions

OUR TECHNOLOGY PRINCIPLE

The best stack is the one that delivers.

SPM does not choose tools because they are fashionable. We choose them when they improve a workflow, reduce technical risk, create a usable deliverable, or help a team build capability it can carry forward. That keeps our technology ambitious, practical, and honest.

THE TECHNOLOGY RADAR

A stack for the whole spatial workflow.

From a field observation to an operational dashboard, the technology choice changes with the job. These are the tools and patterns SPM can use, combine, and teach across Uganda, East Africa, and cross-border projects.

FOUNDATION
Spatial databases
PostgreSQL 18.6 • PostGIS 3.6.x • GiST/R-tree • geometry validation

Reliable spatial records, fast spatial queries, topology checks, raster support, and a traceable source of truth for client systems.

FOUNDATION
Web GIS and APIs
Next.js • React • TypeScript • Laravel • REST APIs

Responsive client portals, map dashboards, role-aware workflows, public information pages, and integrations that fit existing teams.

DEPLOYABLE
Raster and vector processing
GDAL/OGR • QGIS • Python • GeoPackage • COG

Move between formats, coordinate systems, rasters, vectors, and analysis-ready datasets without locking a client into one desktop tool.

DEPLOYABLE
LiDAR, point clouds and 3D
PDAL • LAS/LAZ • COPC/EPT • CesiumJS • 3D Tiles

Process dense point clouds, classify ground, derive terrain products, and present infrastructure or terrain in interactive 3D.

DEPLOYABLE
Drone and remote sensing
OpenDroneMap • orthomosaics • DTM/DSM • STAC • Earth Engine

Turn aerial imagery and satellite collections into repeatable mapping, monitoring, change-detection, and environmental workflows.

DEPLOYABLE
Field and offline systems
RTK/GNSS • mobile GIS • offline forms • photo and metadata capture

Capture structured observations in the field, work where connectivity is limited, and synchronise usable data back to the office.

DEPLOYABLE
Open geospatial services
GeoServer • OGC API Features • WMS/WFS • MapLibre vector maps

Publish interoperable services that can be consumed by QGIS, web applications, partner systems, and future platforms.

DEPLOYABLE
Cloud and operations
Docker • Redis • MinIO/S3 • queues • backups • observability

Separate heavy processing from web traffic, make workloads repeatable, and keep operational health visible as a project grows.

PILOT-READY
Responsible GeoAI
Python • PyTorch • scikit-learn • segmentation • change detection

Use machine learning to assist classification, extraction, anomaly detection, and review—while keeping human QA in the decision loop.

FROM TECHNOLOGY TO DELIVERY

What clients and students can build with it.

Technology matters when it creates a clear result. Each pathway below connects a real input to a usable output.

Survey and cadastral production
Input

GNSS / total station / source plans

Output

Checked coordinates, structured records, maps, CAD/GIS deliverables

Reduce rework and improve confidence in the final package.
Infrastructure and construction
Input

UAV imagery / terrain / point clouds / design data

Output

Orthomosaics, DTM/DSM, models, quantities, corridor dashboards

Give project teams a shared view of progress, terrain, and risk.
Utilities and asset information
Input

Mobile observations / GPS / asset registers

Output

PostGIS information system, field tracking, operational Web GIS

Move from scattered records to decisions that can be located and acted on.
Environment and land intelligence
Input

Satellite / drone / land-cover / time-series data

Output

Change indicators, reviewable evidence, maps, and monitoring views

Make change visible while keeping analytical assumptions clear.
Professional and student training
Input

Real tools, real datasets, and a practical project brief

Output

Field-to-finish workflow, portfolio evidence, and reusable skills

Learn the technology by producing a deliverable—not memorising menus.
HONEST TECHNOLOGY MATURITY

Know what is ready, deployable, or experimental.

A credible technology partner makes the boundary visible. We do not present a research idea as a production deployment.

Ready in the current platform

Next.js, Laravel, PostgreSQL/PostGIS, Redis, MinIO, Docker, role-aware portals, and the existing client workflow.

Deployable for a project

GDAL, PDAL, QGIS/QField, GeoServer, MapLibre, Cesium, OpenDroneMap, OGC APIs, STAC, and cloud processing patterns.

Pilot and research track

GeoAI, automated feature extraction, change detection, live sensors, 3D digital twins, and advanced decision support.

WHY CLIENTS CAN TRUST THE STACK

Modern does not have to mean fragile.

Open standards

Use OGC APIs, common geospatial formats, and documented interfaces so data can move between tools.

Visible QA/QC

Validate coordinates, geometry, metadata, processing steps, and final outputs before handover.

Security and access

Separate public, client, and administration surfaces with controlled roles, storage, and audit paths.

Human-in-the-loop

Use automation and AI to assist technical teams, not to hide assumptions or replace professional review.

LEARN THE TECHNOLOGY

Official tools and standards behind the stack.

We use official documentation and open standards as the reference point for training, integration, and responsible deployment.
