MovingLayers LLC

Geodata has a lifecycle. MovingLayers accompanies it from beginning to end.

From initial field surveys to structured data management, automated analysis, and cartographic decision-making: MovingLayers provides all services and management for the complete geodata lifecycle — at every process step, end-to-end.

We make geodata speak.

What we do

Infrastructure projects rarely fail due to a lack of data — they fail because the right data is in the wrong place at the wrong time. As GIS specialists from Vienna, we help companies and authorities change just that: We connect BIM, GIS, and operator knowledge on a common data basis — so that spatial data can not only be managed but also used operationally every day.

We accompany you through the entire geodata value chain:

Field survey → Geodatabase → Integration → Analysis → Decision

Whether you are at the beginning of a digitalization project or want to expand existing GIS structures — we advise you and find the right solution together.

Reference Projects

For TransnetBW, we developed structured QGIS projects as a binding communication medium in complex energy network approval procedures. In the Interreg project DIGIWAY, we implemented a cross-border geospatial pipeline for the EUREGIO Tyrol-South Tyrol-Trentino as an IT partner — presented at AGIT 2025. For the FFG initiative ABM4EnergyTransition, we developed a web application with interactive maps, dashboards, and scenario control for municipal heat planning. Since 2026, MovingLayers has been responsible for the updating and ongoing operation of waldbrand.at on behalf of the BOKU Vienna — the Austrian information platform for forest fire risk and early warning.

Research & Consortial Partnerships

MovingLayers is active as an entrepreneurial consortial partner in funded research projects and contributes GIS and Geospatial AI expertise to interdisciplinary ventures. What we learn does not stay in the lab: We continuously incorporate findings from research projects into our products and services — from new analysis methods in Kermit GeoAI to extended data structures in MOVERS Survey.

In the FFG project Virtual Shepherd (2024–2026), we are developing a satellite-based monitoring system for livestock herds in the Alpine region together with partners — based on integrated communication and positioning technology as well as Geospatial AI and High Performance Computing.

In the FFG project RegioWoodTrain (2024–2027), we are working on sustainable regional wood transport chains: Simulation and AI technology are intended to help make climate-related damaged wood crises more manageable in the planning, control, and monitoring of supply chains.

The completed FFG project ABM4EnergyTransition (2022–2024) exemplifies how this transfer works: The research results directly formed the basis of our web application for municipal heat planning.

Our Products

Kermit GeoAI enables natural language geodata analysis in QGIS — on-premise, Human-in-the-Loop, and EU AI Act compliant. Expert questions can be directly translated into spatial decisions: reproducible, auditable, with full data sovereignty. Kermit GeoAI has been developed for network operators, authorities, infrastructure planners, and civil engineers who work with spatial data — and do not want to incur external dependencies or compromise on data security.

Movers Survey MDE enables offline field data collection — structured, spatially located, and directly integrable into the geodatabase. As the first step in the value chain, MOVERS ensures that field data is available from day one in the quality required for later analyses and GeoAI evaluations.
