working together to make mapping more usable and accessible across all tiers of government
A relationship, not just a product
We believe geospatial data should be shared as widely as possible in Local Government and is not the reserve of the GIS techy.
Our aim is to help all tiers of government use and benefit from mapping in order to improve and streamline public services.
To help achieve this we’ve designed services that break down as many barriers as possible to give GIS data and capabilities to your whole organisation, and where applicable, the public. Our suite of XMAP services have been designed to be low-cost, practical and high performance.
When you subscribe to an XMAP service you’re not just getting the service, you’re getting our entire team. We maintain close relationships so that together we can all achieve our goals. We start with simply making GIS easy to use, all the way up to our combined strategic goals.
Please get touch to discuss your immediate needs. We look forward to working with you.
Thank you,
Chris Mewse, on behalf of the whole Geoxphere team

Use in all aspects of Local Government
Planning
Bespoke digital land workflows to save time when communicating applications and analysing against your planning constraints.
Social Care
Combine easy-to-use addressing/LLPG tools and other authority data to help provision housing and local services for those in need.
Transport
Visualise traffic regulation orders (TROs) and parking restrictions to improve transport management.
Recreation
Share envrionmental layers across the organisation to make sure outdoor space it well-provisioned and accesible for all neighbourhood.
Climate & Environment
Integrate smart city/IOT data by connecting to external web services and visualise in real-time.
Public Engagement
Create publicly available interactive maps and open data web feeds to communicate new ideas and improve engagement.
All Local Authority departments can use XMAP, so with no user or usage limit everyone can benefit from the time-saving technology.
Cloud-based by default
Seamless remote working always comes up against challenges; slow local hardware, slow service from IT contractors, flipping awful VPNs to name just a few.
XMAP is a refreshing change where it takes just minutes to create a service and can be accessed directly through a web browser (even IE11).
We use the latest, ever-green server-side technology to give you the benefit of fast, reliable services without getting your hands dirty. You take the glory of having happy colleagues (but remember us when you're famous)!

Uptime to be proud of
We use fast, reliable UK-only servers that mean nobody has to worry about services going down or being slow.
Engaged with open-source
We use the latest open source technology to support our services and give back where we can.
Secure, yet open
Our services are highly secure, yet allow you to share data easily using the latest cloud database technology.
Connected Government
When things are easy to do, they're more likely to get done! So we've made it easy for Local Authorities to share live mapping data with different tiers of government; namely Town, Parish and Community Councils.
With 'set and forget' features you can empower local councils to do their own thing without needing constant help from you. You decide what data you want to share, and it's done!
Our vision is that data sharing should be fluid throughout government to harness the local knowledge of local councils and better communicate the wider strategy of principal authorities and central government.
This vision is already becoming a reality in some parts of the UK through our work creating Parish Online, a digital mapping service built on XMAP, specifically for local councils.

Collaborative Data
Having more eyes on a datasets improves it much faster than one person doing it. Collaborate to create useful and compelling datasets.
Consistency
Using structured databasing and tools we can ensure data is created and edited to consistent standards or themes. We like structured data!
Time & Cost Savings
Bad data costs time and money. The first step is to share it (with caveats!) which enables corrections, creating a positive cycle of improvements.
Getting involved with local councils is a proactive way to create better places to live and work. Involvement can be simply sharing data all the way to supporting Parish Online and the councils that use it. Find out more on the Parish Online website.
