Geotech Information Services specialise in data supply, statistical analysis, and presentation of geo-spatial information, ensuring we extract the highest strategic advantage from available information to help you make sound strategic business decisions.

Now more than ever data and information are critical to effective decision making in business. The sad truth is that most businesses do not exploit the potential this information presents. This is the case due to firstly, information is often difficult to find or extract, being trapped across different databases. Secondly, data in its raw form is often difficult to interpret.

Helping companies put the science behind business decisions.

Our main areas of expertise include mapping, data, analysis and strategy for many of Australia’s biggest name brands and government agencies, as well as for a countless number of smaller and emerging businesses.
