Company profile
researched Aug 2026Koordinates operates a cloud platform for hosting, managing, sharing and publishing geospatial data, positioning itself as a single place for spatial data that non-specialists can use self-service through a browser. The platform handles vector layers up to 20GB and raster layers beyond 2TB, and supports import and browsing via drag-and-drop, Esri REST sync and S3, with single sign-on through Okta and Azure AD. Every dataset is automatically provisioned as a REST API, an Esri REST endpoint and an OGC service with token-managed access, alongside built-in vector tiles, raster tiles, Cloud-Optimised Point Cloud previews and in-portal styling, removing the need for customers to run their own GIS servers.
A distinguishing capability is Git-style version control for spatial data, built on Kart, the company's open-source distributed version control system for geospatial data. Users can branch, commit, diff and merge at feature-level granularity, QA drafts privately, and publish without disrupting downstream services; Kart works locally, in the portal or through CI pipelines. The platform also supports formal publishing workflows with permanent URLs, dataset SEO, XML metadata and handling of nation-scale usage bursts.
More recently the company has added AI-oriented access layers: Koordinates MCP provides natural-language querying of geospatial data through AI assistants with audit trails, access policies and SSO, while KxAI Map Analyst, included with an AI Pro tier, turns plain-language questions into styled layers and 3D maps across New Zealand government datasets and customers' own data, with MCP apps for Claude and ChatGPT.
Business model
Koordinates sells access to a browser-based, multi-tenant SaaS platform, with customer-branded sites (for example acme-corp.koordinates.com) for organisations publishing data to their teams, clients or the public.
