We build software for spatial planning and modelling. Visit our github site for documentation, free downloads, issues and discussions.
We develop and use this software ourselves and help others to do so.
What we develop is available as open source, we embrace the application of transparent and accountable modelling practices and the use of open data. We are a member of the OpenGeoGroep.

Our Roots
In the nineties, the Faculty of Economics and Econometrics of the Vrije Universiteit started a field of study on spatial data and GIS.
As (Phd) student and employee in this field of study, we started developing and using our software libraries to support other researchers at the university for GIS projects, especially with network calculations. These libraries have in multiple iterations been developed into the current GeoDMS software.
Predecessors of our company were established by the end of the nineties, when we started to develop one of our core products, the Ruimtescanner. This development was an important step in the development of the GeoDMS, especially for multiple fast grid calculations.
The first years of this century we had a joint venture with a software company in Haarlem, where we also had our office. This offered the potential to develop the GeoDMS software with a larger team of experienced software developers.
Since 2006 we are back at the Vrije Universiteit, as our focus moved from developing the software’s core to supporting support more applications. In 2006 the current company Object Vision BV is established, since then we have our office and work together with the Vrije Universiteit.
The software is developed with also more vector related operations and is used for a range of applications on to support many (policy) issues.
