Support Packages for systems and custom software Kartoza have developed and implemented


Kartoza (and its forerunners Linfiniti and Afrispatial) has been delivering projects using open source GIS since 2008. We rely on QGIS and other high-quality GIS software for our consultancy services. We call on our experience to give you peace of mind that there’s always someone to call for help should you need it.


Kartoza is the first organisation to our knowledge to provide QGIS and other FOSS GIS commercial support for businesses and individuals across South Africa and the rest of Africa. Our support team has a mix of friendly first- and second-line support staff to ensure an efficient response to support queries.


We provide support for QGIS, PostGIS (and PostgreSQL), GeoServer, GeoNode plus many more FOSS GIS desktop and web tools and libraries. We also provide support for systems and custom software we have developed and implemented


Kartoza has teamed up with Lutra Consulting in the UK, NaturalGIS in Portugal, North Road Consulting in Australia and OpenGIS in Switzerland to form a shared support service called Limosa, which brings the following benefits:


  1. A large and diverse support team, from expert users to core developers and GIS professionals
  2. There is no support query too simple or too complex
  3. One point of contact for managing your query
