About Us.

Map & Allied Technologies was established and incorporated 2013 to focus on GIS services across East, West and Central Africa. Since then, we have been delivering value through a variety of pre-sales and after-sales services including technical support, training, maintenance, and implementation of GIS products and services. Map & Allied meets the need for precise and accurate maps for today’s digital economy.
The Development of mobile computing (PDAs, tablet PCs, laptops, etc.) has recently (since about 2000) spurred the use of digital mapping in the sciences and applied sciences. Delivery services and Taxis now, more than every rely on accurate Maps. Maps must be updated frequently to provide users with the most accurate reflection of a location.”

Our Story

We believe that GIS is enabling and a core Technology that touches numerous business processes, systems, data, and other applications. As such, it is an integral part of the computing infrastructure that contributes to the success of a city’s services delivery and operations. Name any Base Data you desire, from: Political Boundaries; Cities and infrastructure (roads, ports, airports); Post Locations; Locations of buildings of other types – government, hospitals, schools; Population demographics and density; Topography and Imagery as reference base; Hospitals, Schools and Government Buildings; Land Use (residential, commercial, agriculture, etc.) etc. and we’ve got you covered.
Our business is providing the most reliable and precise map content to the Mapping Services Companies. While there is a wide spectrum on companies that specialize in digital mapping, the basic premise is that digital maps will accurately portray roads as they actually appear to give “life-like experiences.
Our solution offering is complemented with a number of industry cutting edge technologies. Our business model employs direct sales and indirect sales through an evolving business partner network and we organize user community, industry and product specific events on a regular basis.

To achieve distinct leadership in Information Technology in Eastern Africa in the GIS products and services that we provide in order to simplify human endeavors in information processing. 

Commitment – Excellence – Diversification 

To accomplish every task with Commitment, Integrity, Discipline, Innovation and Professionalism. 

To revolutionize the way people, think about and interact with maps.

Our Focus

We at Map & Allied bring together the use of Satellite/Aerial Remote Sensing, Positioning Applications, GIS Databases, Applications/Software, GIS Web-services and Network to automate and digitize your world. We operate in East, Central and West Africa through an elaborate business partner network with a growing client base, through working in partnership with the respective government agencies in the region. We’ve been involved in the creation and development of navigation maps in Africa for the last 8 years. We provide high services to visualize and manage the data by making GIS technology more affordable and more accessible

Based on the surveying technology, we are able to acquire the high-precision coordinates in a very reliable and efficient way. MMS (Mobile Mapping System) is one of the latest surveying technologies to measure the object by millions of points per second with centimeter accuracy. All data is collected remotely from a moving vehicle or drone

Each day, hundreds of our highly trained field researchers drive and re-drive highways, streets, alleys and rural roads. Armed with a high level of training and our proprietary collection technology, we collect da And it’s built to a single global standard. We are available for hire of Field Data Collection services.

We are the experts in providing the best Mapping & Location APIs solution. M&A is East Africa’s leading PHP and Progressive Web App Development Company that offers a wide range of software and Mobile app development solution along with Map services.

We specialize in capturing natural and manmade features for comprehensive GIS solutions. Our drone services provide an effective data capture tool, collecting highly-accurate information, safely and efficiently. Our services are not limited to; Photogrammetry, 3D Laser Scanning and LiDAR.

A real time asset tracking technology, on the web and on the mobile phone or smart phone. Using cutting edge and innovative technology we empower you to trace your asset anywhere in the world, efficiently and at your fingertips; literally.

Data Capture

GIS data collection refers to gathering location information before processing that information using the processes and techniques of spatial analysis. Our field techniques, use of GPS, Land surveying equipment, laser range and filed LiDAR to get precise coordinates and attribution to that point, help us build a comprehensice GIS database. We deploy both Primary and Secondary GIS data capture techniques. Basically, Primary GIS Data Capture Technique involves remote sensing and surveying technologies to capture the data using either raster data capture or vector data capture. Today Mobile devices are also increasingly being used to collect GIS data, while The secondary GIS data capture technique use technologies such as scanning, manual digitizing, vectorization, photogrammetry, and COGO feature construction to capture data.

Primary GIS Data Capture Method:

Capturing of attributes without physical contact. This is usually done with the help of Satellite Imaging Techniques and Aerial Photography.
The advantage of this GIS Data Capture Method is that there is a consistency in the data generated and the whole process can be regularly and systematically organized to get the most accurate data in a very cost-effective manner.

Capturing of datasets through physical surveying techniques such as Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) and Electronic Total Station (ETS).
Although this technique is the most effective process to obtain accurate results on the target GIS system, it is more time consuming and costly.

Our GIS Capture Services:

  1. Navigation Data Capture
  2. Environmental GIS Data Capture
  3. Land records and Survey Data are captured by using GIS for property, land, water, and holding tax.
  4. Utility infrastructure GIS Data Capture for Water lines, Road network, sewerage network, and other related issues.
  5. Crisis Management Information System to give continuous information to crisis responders about the Geographical design

Secondary GIS Data Capture Method:

High resolution scanners give very accurate raster images from the hard copies, which then can be Georeferenced and Digitized to get the Vector output.

Manual Digitization is done directly over the raster using a digitizing tablet.

The Raster Scanned Data is imported and laid below the vector data to be traced on the computer screen itself.

UIZ uses special software with intelligent algorithms to recognize the patterns of the points, lines and polygon features and capture them automatically to generate Vector GIS Data.

UIZ uses Digital Stereo-Plotters to capture the Vector Data from the Aerial Photographs. This is comparatively the most effective method for accurately capturing GIS Data

industries

It is our art and science to bring together large amounts of geospatila data to help you as a professional (in any given field) make strategic decisons. Location intelligence can be leveraged in almost any industry because everything is somewhere, and most organizations have spatial data whether they realize it or not. The Development of mobile computing (PDAs, tablet PCs, laptops, etc.) has recently (since about 2000) spurred the use of digital mapping in the sciences and applied sciences. Delivery services and Taxis now, more than every rely on accurate Maps. Maps must be updated frequently to provide users with the most accurate reflection of a location. Some industries rely on niche GIS products such as transportation planning and traffic simulation, while other industries use main-stream GIS tools. We understand your requirements in whichiever industry and provide quality services and solutions to help your businesses grow and thrive.
