Overview

Turning Spatial Data Into Actionable Intelligence

GIS (Geographic Information Systems) analysis is the process of capturing, storing, manipulating, analysing, and presenting geographic data. At Planora, we build GIS solutions that answer the fundamental question every organisation faces: "Where does this happen, and what does that mean?"

Our GIS team works across the full stack β€” from enterprise geodatabase design in ArcGIS and PostGIS, to advanced spatial modelling (network analysis, hydrological modelling, viewshed analysis), to beautiful print-ready and web-interactive cartography.

We serve government planning departments, infrastructure agencies, NGOs, and private enterprises with customised GIS workflows, spatial data management, and analytical dashboards that make complex spatial information immediately understandable.

Workflow

Our GIS Process

01

Spatial Requirements Analysis

We study client objectives and identify required spatial questions, data needs, analysis workflows, and deliverable formats before any data collection begins.

02

Data Acquisition & Compilation

Collecting base data from surveys, satellite imagery, government open data, OSM, and client records. All data undergoes format normalisation and coordinate system harmonisation.

03

Geodatabase Design & Build

Designing a logical spatial database schema with feature classes, topology rules, relationship classes, and metadata standards β€” built in ArcGIS GDB, PostgreSQL/PostGIS, or QGIS GeoPackage.

04

Spatial Analysis & Modelling

Running geoprocessing workflows, Python/R scripting for custom analyses, overlay operations, network analysis, and spatial statistical modelling as defined in the scope.

05

Cartographic Design

Designing professional map layouts β€” symbology, colour ramps, legends, scale bars, north arrows, and metadata blocks β€” for both print (A0–A3) and screen/web output.

06

Delivery, Training & Documentation

Final GIS datasets, maps, and reports delivered with full data dictionary, methodology documentation, and optional client training sessions for GIS software use.

Data-Driven Spatial Insights

Our GIS models are built with reproducibility in mind β€” every analysis is documented, scriptable, and updatable as new data arrives.
