Integrated GIS System: Your Inventory on the Map
Unlike other municipal inventory software, our system includes a complete GIS viewer (Geographic Information System) that allows you to locate, filter and manage all municipal assets directly on the map.
What can you do with GIS?
- View all geolocated municipal assets on an interactive map
- Filter by RBEL heading, use, status or any custom field
- Overlay official cadastral plots from the Cadastre
- Switch between satellite, street and hybrid view
- Click on any asset to view its complete record
- Export geospatial data to QGIS in Shapefile, GeoJSON or KML
- Identify non-geolocated assets to complete the inventory
- Generate thematic maps for reports and plenary sessions
What happens without GIS?
- You cannot see where assets are located in the territory
- Impossible to detect location errors or misassigned assets
- You depend on external tools (Google Earth, QGIS) separately
- No connection between inventory data and real position
- Reports without geographic context for plenary sessions and accountability
- You cannot cross-reference cadastral data with asset location
- Greater risk of duplicates and non-located assets
- Manual work for any territorial analysis

Frequently Asked Questions About the Comparison
What makes the GIS viewer different from a regular map?
Our GIS viewer is not a simple map. It is a complete Geographic Information System that allows you to overlay layers (cadastral, use, status), filter assets geographically, export geospatial data to professional formats (Shapefile, GeoJSON, KML) and connect directly with QGIS for advanced analysis.
Can I migrate from another inventory software?
Yes. We offer import from Excel, CSV, Access, GPA and SICAL. Our technical team manages the entire data migration to ensure a transparent transition with no data loss.
Is training needed to use the software?
The software is designed to be intuitive, but we include complete training for the entire team. Additionally, technical support is always available by phone, email and WhatsApp.
What happens to my data if I switch software?
Your data always belongs to you. We offer complete export in standard formats (Excel, CSV, PDF) at any time. No lock-in or technological dependency.
Does the GIS work with my municipality's plots?
Yes. The GIS is fed by data from the Cadastre Electronic Office, so all official cadastral plots from any municipality in Spain are automatically available.
