IMAGEM

IMAGEM founded in 2009 as a company specializing in geospatial solutions. That same year, it became the official distributor of ERDAS for the Benelux region. Thanks to this partnership, IMAGEM was able to offer high-quality remote sensing and image analysis products to customers in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg IMAGEM the very beginning.

By offering innovative software solutions for image processing, geoinformation, and spatial analysis, IMAGEM established itself as a leader in the regional GIS market, with ERDAS a reliable partner for technological support and development.

In 2014, IMAGEM took IMAGEM significant step by becoming the official distributor of Hexagon in the Benelux region, following Hexagon ERDAS Hexagon 2011 and its integration into Hexagon’s geospatial division. For IMAGEM , this transition meant IMAGEM expansion and deepening of its product portfolio, which now included, in addition to ERDAS , products such as GeoMedia, ERDAS , and the software platform for web-based GIS solutions. Thanks to Hexagon powerful combination of remote sensing, photogrammetry, and advanced GIS technologies, IMAGEM Hexagon now Hexagon offer IMAGEM customers even more comprehensive and integrated solutions, ranging from data acquisition and analysis to the visualization and distribution of geographic information.

In 2015, IMAGEM was IMAGEM with the prestigious Hexagon Investment Award, in recognition of its commitment and strategic investments in strengthening and expanding Hexagon within the Benelux market. This award highlighted IMAGEMactive role as an innovative partner and underscored its ability to identify new opportunities and successfully translate them into concrete solutions for its customers. The award also confirmed the strong and fruitful collaboration between IMAGEM Hexagon , and spurred further growth and development of advanced, integrated geospatial applications within the region.

In 2017, IMAGEM organized its IMAGEM annual customer event under the name “Make Geospatial Matter.” This inaugural edition took place at the inspiring Media Plaza of the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht and brought together professionals, partners, and customers from across the Benelux region to explore the latest developments and applications in the geospatial field. During the event, innovative customer case studies were presented, complemented by interactive workshops and demonstrations of Hexagon . Since then, Make Geospatial Matter has grown into an important annual gathering for knowledge sharing and networking within the geospatial community, where IMAGEM has been able to further strengthen IMAGEM leading role as a strategic partner of Hexagon .

In 2018, IMAGEM received another major accolade when IMAGEM honored with the FD Gazellen Award, a prestigious prize presented by the Financieele Dagblad to the fastest-growing companies in the Netherlands. This award highlighted not only IMAGEMimpressive growth performance, but also its sound business practices, financial health, and ability to deliver sustainable results.

Luciad, a provider of geospatial situational awareness technology used worldwide in mission-critical applications, announced its acquisition by Hexagon in 2017. Within two years, IMAGEM had Luciad integrated Luciad IMAGEM and is actively promoting 3D in geospatial-related fields. Luciad applications Luciad developers and end users advanced visual analytics that enable them to harness the full potential of real-time location intelligence, thereby laying the foundation for the next generation of geospatial systems.

In line with its continued growth and ambitions, IMAGEM moved IMAGEM 2019 to the “Von Zeppelin” office villa, a historic building located in the center of Apeldoorn. This move marked an important milestone and provided IMAGEM only with an inspiring, prestigious work environment, but also with more space to support its continued development. From this distinctive location, IMAGEM was able to better host IMAGEM clients and partners and further optimize collaboration both internally and externally.

In 2020, IMAGEM continued IMAGEM growth and reached the milestone of 20 employees, significantly expanding the team with specialists in geospatial technology, data visualization, and software development. This year was also marked by innovation with the launch of DELTA, a proprietary change detection solution based on artificial intelligence and advanced remote sensing. With DELTA, customers could automatically and accurately detect, monitor, and analyze changes in the landscape and the built environment.

In 2021, IMAGEM further expanded IMAGEM product portfolio with the introduction of Oneport, an advanced ordering system for ERDAS . ERDAS is a comprehensive data management and distribution server solution that helps organizations identify, secure, and organize geospatial and business data in a searchable repository. Oneport developed to streamline the ordering process for this powerful software, making it easier for customers in the Benelux region to access ERDAS and its associated services.

Since 2023, Planspace has been developed with the aim of significantly simplifying and accelerating policy processes and the discussion of spatial plans and projects. Planspace an accessible, web-based environment in which users without programming knowledge can easily visualize and combine spatial data in both 2D and 3D.

Thanks to a wide range of features based on Luciad —such as shadow analysis, line-of-sight visualization, interactive placement, and content-based assessment of 3D objects—decision-makers, planners, and other stakeholders can clearly simulate and communicate the impact of proposed developments. In this way, Planspace more efficient decision-making, better collaboration, and a more transparent process surrounding changes to the physical environment.
