How we provide the Masterportal as the first service provider in Austria
MovingLayersSince November 2026, we have been listed in the official Dataport service provider list for the Masterportal. The Masterportal product management at Dataport lists companies there that offer services for the open-source geoportal. Of the 13 listed service providers, MovingLayers is the only one based in Austria (as of 11 November 2026, masterportal.org).
What we build on
The Masterportal is an open-source geoportal for the web browser. It was developed by the Hamburg Agency for Geoinformation and Surveying. Today, cities, federal states and federal authorities in Germany and Austria develop it together, and according to masterportal.org, 60 public institutions use it as their central geoviewer (as of 11 November 2026). It is released under the MIT licence, integrates geoservices via OGC standards such as WMS, WFS & WMTS and runs on desktop, tablet & smartphone.
Where we use the Masterportal
We have been working with the Masterportal for around two years. In the FFG research project RegioWoodTrain (2024-2027), we are building the web demonstrator for regional timber logistics by rail on this basis. Together with BOKU Vienna, the University of Salzburg and RailCargo Austria, we bring together geodata, mobility, operational and forestry data on a single map. The portal is publicly accessible: open the RegioWoodTrain portal.
What we offer
We provide the Masterportal in two ways, and both can be combined with data integration, training & support.
- Your own Masterportal, implemented by us
We take care of implementation consulting, configuration & data integration, the development of add-ons for your specialist tasks, and training and support in day-to-day operation. If you wish, we run your Masterportal in the EU, in an ISO/IEC 27001-certified Hetzner data centre in Germany. That way you need neither your own servers nor your own operations team. - MoversWebGIS, the Masterportal as a standard product
MoversWebGIS is our further developed version of the Masterportal, with custom add-ons and user & permission management. Objects captured with MoversSurvey during a site visit appear on the map, including when they were recorded, alongside your own layers such as cadastral maps or road networks. Versioning, history tracking & MoversGeoAI are planned (as of November 2026).
How we deliver
Infrastructure and operation are already in place on our side. In the initial consultation, we clarify your existing geoservices, specialist data & user groups and choose the right option together. We then set up the portal and roles, connect your data and train your administrators. If you wish, we take over operation, so your team works with the portal instead of maintaining servers.
