Municipal information shouldn’t depend on a single tool
A town may work with GIS systems, analysis tools, management applications and databases that each do a different job. The challenge is connecting that information without creating silos, duplication or unnecessary lock-in. Civaxis adds the street network data to a standard, open geographic base designed to be easy to query and export. The information obtained and maintained through the platform can then become part of the town’s digital assets and its workflows.
Open data
A standard technology base to structure geographic information and make it easy to use elsewhere.
Municipal ownership
The data Civaxis extracts belongs to the town, which keeps control over its information.
Technology integration
Geographic information can be brought into existing workflows across the organisation.
Open architecture
PostgreSQL and PostGISA solid foundation for your geographic data
Civaxis uses PostgreSQL/PostGIS to store and structure the town’s geographic information. This technology manages spatial data with standard tools and keeps the inventory from depending on a proprietary format exclusive to the platform.
Georeferenced information thus becomes a reusable foundation for querying, analysis and integration with other systems, depending on the formats and exchange mechanisms available.
Standard geographic structure
Data organised on technologies widely used in the geospatial field.
Data export
Municipal data can be extracted for use in other environments.
Technological continuity
An information base that can remain part of the town’s digital strategy.
Less lock-in
Data ownership and portability are not limited to the Civaxis interface.

Civaxis fits the way your town already works
Municipal management needs specialised tools to view maps, analyse indicators, query data and coordinate interventions. Civaxis adds a street network information base that can complement that technology stack.
GIS systems QGIS and geospatial environments
Geographic information can be used in GIS workflows to query, analyse and map the town’s data. The specific integration depends on the formats and services available.
Geographic databases PostgreSQL / PostGIS
A standard, open spatial data structure to store, query and reuse georeferenced information.
Analysis tools Power BI and dashboards
Indicators and analytical views help interpret the condition of the network and turn geographic information into criteria for decisions. Power BI is part of the Civaxis platform.
Other municipal systems Management applications and existing platforms
Street network information can be part of wider workflows. Each integration has to be defined according to the target systems, their requirements and the exchange mechanisms available.
Living data
Data is worth more when it can be shared
Geographic interoperability lets different systems query and use territorial information without rebuilding the inventory in each application. Civaxis starts from a standard, open database and allows municipal information to be exported. When a project requires it, exchange mechanisms can be defined to fit existing systems and the relevant geospatial standards.
Geographic services
Publish and query territorial information
Standards such as WMS and WFS can serve as a reference for publishing maps or exchanging geographic features. Their availability in Civaxis has to be confirmed for each project’s set-up.
Exchange formats
Take the data to other environments
Data export prepares information for other analysis and management environments. The available formats are specified in each integration’s technical documentation.
Geospatial standards
Makes exchanging information easier
Geographic interoperability principles, including those promoted by initiatives such as INSPIRE where they apply, make it easier to structure and exchange territorial information.
FAQ
Interoperability,without barriers
Does the data belong to the town?
Yes. The town owns its data and can export it to any medium.
Is Civaxis compatible with QGIS?
The PostgreSQL/PostGIS architecture and the ability to export data provide a foundation for working with GIS tools such as QGIS. Specific compatibility and procedure depend on the set-up, permissions and exchange formats available.
Does Civaxis offer WMS and WFS services?
The project includes an interoperable geoportal with an INSPIRE catalogue and WMS/WFS services. The available documentation alone does not confirm which services are currently live.
Can I keep my current tools?
Yes. Civaxis supports integration with existing tools such as QGIS and Power BI, without requiring you to replace them.
What technology does Civaxis use?
Civaxis uses PostgreSQL/PostGIS, a standard, open technology for storing geographic information.
Can it connect to other municipal systems?
Yes. Civaxis supports integration with tools such as QGIS and Power BI to complement municipal information and analysis systems.
What does it mean for the data to be open?
The data is stored in a standard, open technology, PostgreSQL/PostGIS, and the town can export it to other media.
Is interoperability included in every plan?
All three plans include the platform and its corresponding features. Some integrations with external systems may carry additional costs depending on the plan.
