QGIS Development

Open-source GIS, done professionally

QGIS is a complete desktop and server GIS with no per-seat licence — when it is set up and extended properly. We build PyQGIS plugins, Processing models and automation, publish maps with QGIS Server, run QField in the field, and migrate teams from ArcMap and MapInfo without losing their workflows.

Migration to QGIS

Moving from ArcMap, MapInfo or other proprietary desktop GIS to QGIS with minimal disruption: data and symbology conversion, workflow rebuilding, integration with remaining ArcGIS services, and training that gets analysts productive quickly.

  • QGIS
  • SLYR
  • FME / GDAL
  • PostGIS

What we deliver

  • Data, project and symbology migration
  • Rebuilt workflows as Processing models or plugins

02Why LiveBird

What you get that a generic vendor won't give you

01

No licence surprises

QGIS, PostGIS and QGIS Server have no per-seat or per-load fees — the budget goes into your workflows, not subscriptions.

02

Tailored, not generic

Plugins and models built for your data and your analysts, with tests and docs so they survive staff changes.

03

Plays well with ArcGIS

OGC services and REST integrations keep QGIS working alongside ArcGIS where you still need it.

03FAQ

Common questions

Plugins, Processing automation, QGIS Server and QField — open-source GIS.

For many editing, analysis and publishing workflows, yes — QGIS + PostGIS + QGIS Server is a complete stack. Where you rely on Utility Network, Enterprise services or Esri field apps, we recommend keeping ArcGIS and integrating the two.
