Pilot outcome

5 d → 1 h

From 5 days to 1 hour to deliver a 3D dataset

In an engineering pilot, Obliquo reduced client delivery from 5 days to 1 hour.

Before

  • Prepare files
  • Compress
  • Send
  • Explain installation
  • Troubleshoot errors

After

  • Publish
  • Share a link
  • Review in the browser

Free Cloud diagnosis

In 30 minutes we review your datasets, users, permissions and integrations. We tell you what architecture you need to publish 2D/3D data on the web without building a bespoke portal.

Includes:

  • Compatible formats and services
  • Volume estimate
  • Publishing workflow
  • Permissions per user and layer
  • Integration with your current GIS
  • Path to a pilot

Who it is for

Teams that must publish geospatial assets, not just store them.

Surveying & geomatics

Deliver orthophotos, elevation models and vector deliverables as managed web services.

Engineering & AEC

Unify BIM, GIS and capture data in a governed browser workspace for clients and partners.

Public sector & utilities

Share city models, infrastructure layers and imagery with controlled access and auditability.

Platform & IT teams

Replace bespoke portals with scalable streaming infrastructure and APIs.

Governance & access

The questions enterprise buyers ask first

No generic promises. This is what Obliquo Cloud covers on-platform, and what we scope explicitly when it is not part of standard SaaS.

Can I separate projects by client?Included

Yes. Organise content by year, project and layer; combine predefined folders and user groups to isolate access per client or contract.

Can I grant temporary access?Included

Yes. Create temporary users and set access dates from user management. Administrators control provisioning, expiry and revocation.

Can I set permissions per layer?Included

Yes. Viewing permissions apply per layer and per user group: each user sees only the layers they are authorised for.

Can I audit access?Per deployment

Session control and user management are built in. Formal audit requirements (logs, retention, export) are scoped per deployment against your compliance needs; we do not assume a standard audit pack without a technical review.

Can I host by region?Included

Yes. Distributed storage architecture supports multiple locations and regions. During scoping we define region, latency and requirements per project and client.

Can I connect corporate identity?Per deployment

SSO/SAML integration with corporate directories is not part of standard SaaS. We assess it for enterprise deployments when it is a project requirement.

Interoperability

Built to integrate with your GIS stack, not replace it.

Development APIs

APIs for oblique, nadir, multiview and panoramic workflows: the same surface the Obliquo application uses.

Desktop plugins

QGIS and ArcGIS Pro plugins to connect production workflows with cloud publishing.

External data sources

Organisation-level connectors plus session-level third-party services for WMS, WMTS, WFS, ArcGIS and 3D Tiles.

FAQ

Answers before you scope a deployment

What technical and procurement teams typically ask before publishing or scaling Obliquo Cloud.

What data volume can the platform handle?

The architecture is built for large catalogues, progressive streaming and distributed storage. Practical limits depend on formats, layer count and concurrent users. We scope this in a diagnosis with real datasets, not generic marketing figures.

Can I migrate from an existing geospatial portal?

Yes, in most cases. Obliquo Cloud replaces bespoke portals or scattered FTP handovers while keeping your sources and production workflows. We review which layers, permissions and URLs should coexist or migrate in an initial pilot phase.

How are permissions managed per client or project?

Through user groups, predefined folders and content organised by year, project and layer. You can set layer-level viewing permissions, temporary users and access dates from user management.

Can I connect existing WMS/WFS/WMTS services?

Yes. At organisation level you can connect WMS, WMTS, WFS, ArcGIS and 3D Tiles. From the viewer you can also add third-party services per session and promote them to permanent layers when needed.

Does Obliquo replace ArcGIS/QGIS or integrate with them?

It integrates. ArcGIS and QGIS remain production tools; Obliquo adds web publishing, permissions and browser access. QGIS and ArcGIS Pro plugins connect production workflows to cloud publishing.

Can I use it only as a backend/API?

Yes. The development API is the same surface the Obliquo application uses. You can integrate ingest, publishing, viewing or permissions into your portal, GIS or custom flow without being limited to our UI.

What does my team need to get started?

Datasets in supported formats, an owner for users and permissions, and clarity on who publishes versus who consumes. Viewers only need a browser. We start with a diagnosis: formats, volume, permissions and integration with your current GIS stack.

How long does a pilot take?

It depends on formats, volume and integration depth. A pilot with one representative dataset can move in days; deployments with advanced permissions, multiple sources or infrastructure requirements need prior planning. We validate value before scaling.

What about sensitive data or public administration?

We review hosting, region, access and architecture per project, especially for public sector, critical infrastructure or sensitive data. We do not assume one SaaS model fits every case without a prior technical diagnosis.

Can I publish 2D and 3D datasets in the same workspace?

Yes. Obliquo Cloud unifies terrain, meshes, point clouds, GIS layers, raster, vector and imagery in one browser-based 2D/3D workspace with a coordinated layer tree and viewing modes.

Are all oblique cameras supported?

Yes. Any camera dataset works when external orientation (EO), OPK angular format and full camera calibration are available.

Is the development API separate from the app?

No. The Obliquo web application is built directly on the development API and always tracks the latest version.

Is COG supported?

Not currently. Supported raster delivery includes TMS, WMS and WMTS. COG is on the roadmap.
