Intelligent spatial solutions for modern cities

From empty land
to digital city

Smart Data has built a unified spatial platform for land planning, urban development, infrastructure, and citizen services at the national and capital city level. Nine GIS systems have been developed and deployed across these domains.

Challenges

Paper-based records.
Data scattered across many silos.

Traditional urban development separates planning from execution. Land data sits in one agency, building permits in another, infrastructure data in yet another. Decisions slow down, conflicts arise, and plans diverge from reality.

01 / FRAGMENTED

Fragmented Records

Land information is siloed across agencies. Officials make decisions on incomplete data.

02 / SPEED

Slow Decisions

Land allocation and permits take 6–12 months. Citizens wait, investors look elsewhere.

03 / CONFLICTS

Overlapping Rights

The same plot allocated multiple times. Overlaps with infrastructure. Plans conflict with reality.

04 / OVERSIGHT

Weak Monitoring

No real-time oversight of land use, construction, or tax compliance. Problems surface too late.

Platform capabilities

Configure new services without writing code

Administrators configure layers, attributes, requests, workflows and printed documents themselves. When regulations change there is no need to redevelop the system — just update the configuration.

Print templateWord + variables

Layers of any geometry

Create Point, Line and Polygon layers grouped as topographic or planning, in a hierarchy. Set fill colour, opacity, outline, icon and draw order.

Point · Line · Polygon

Attributes your way

Add fields to any layer or request: string, text, number, date, choice list, yes/no. Set maximum length, multiple values and lookup tables, and group fields into tabs.

Dynamic attributes

Request types

For each service, define required attachments, the fields citizens fill in and specialists record, the responsible department and how the response is delivered.

Attachments · Fields

Workflows

Define states, transitions between them and the role responsible at each step. Requests are assigned to specialists automatically in rotation, with a lead assignee.

States · Transitions · Assignment

Records on layers

Upload a SHP file to a request, choose the projection and create the layer. The system finds related layers underneath and records attributes, parties and address.

SHP · Projection · Address

Documents generated automatically

Word templates with variables produce certificates, official letters, statements and planning assignments straight from the recorded data.

Word templates · Variables

Geoportal

Layers and request statuses marked as public are shown to citizens on the public map portal.

Public map

Roles and organisation

Configure departments, positions, user roles and permissions. Layers can be restricted so only authorised users see them.

Roles · Permissions · Restricted layers

Meetings, notifications, one inbox

Handle requests from E-Mongolia and other channels in one place. Expert council meetings, instant assignment notifications and Excel reports.

National Urban Cadastral System

General Authority for Land Management, Geodesy and Cartography · Ministry of Construction and Urban Development

Permits, as-built drawings and infrastructure data from every province in one national database; new layers added without code.

Platform

One spatial record.
Nine subsystems.

Smart Data unifies every layer of city management on a single GIS foundation. From the first zoning decision to the last building permit, every decision uses the same map.

  • 01

    Single Source of Truth

    One spatial database covers planning, allocation, taxation, monitoring, and citizen services — all in one place.

  • 02

    Real-Time Synchronization

    Changes in the cadastre instantly reflect in tax, planning, and public-facing portals.

  • 03

    Already Operational Systems

    These systems are live today at national and capital city scale across Mongolia.

  • 04

    Open Standards

    Full OGC compliance — WMS, WFS, GeoJSON. Connects with other government systems and third-party tools.

UNIFIED GIS Planning Cadastre Tax Monitor Auction Citizens Zoning Roads Infrastructure
Geographic Information Systems

Nine systems.
Built from scratch. Deployed. Live.

Each module can operate independently or as part of the unified platform. All support OGC standards, enabling integration with other government systems and external tools.

01 / PLANNING

Land Use Planning

Develop national, capital, and local land use and territorial planning documents.

02 / CADASTRE

Land Cadastre

Every parcel: boundaries, ownership, legal relations, application history. Immutable and fully audited.

03 / VALUATION

Tax & Valuation

Location-, use-, and size-based valuation. Automated invoicing. Bank-grade integration.

04 / MONITORING

Land Use Monitoring

Scheduled and on-demand inspection records for land use compliance.

05 / E-AUCTION

Electronic Land Auction

Transparent online auctions. Public schedules and registrations open to all.

06 / CITIZENS

Citizen Services

Public map portal, permit applications, complaints, and feedback. Mobile app available.

07 / URBAN

Urban Development

City master plans, building permits, architectural design briefs, sketch drawings, construction inspection, and oversight.

08 / ROADS

Roads & Transport

Road registry, maintenance schedules, transport infrastructure — synchronized with construction timelines.

09 / INFRASTRUCTURE

Engineering Networks

Electricity, water, heat, and telecom. Register underground utility networks and monitor all operations.

Lifecycle

From empty land
to a built city.

Five phases. One continuous data flow. Each phase feeds the next; operational data loops back into planning, creating a perpetual improvement cycle.

01

Plan

Master plans, zoning, infrastructure planning, and more.

02

Allocate

Transparent online auction. Automatic cadastre and tax linkage.

03

Build

Permits, infrastructure, utility networks — all spatially coordinated.

04

Manage

Real-time monitoring, automated taxation, compliance oversight.

05

Serve

Citizen portal, services, and transparency. Feedback collected continuously.

Measurable Impact

What changes when
data drives decisions.

Government processes that used to take months are resolved in days. Manual work is automated. Citizens no longer wait. Tax revenue grows. Investor confidence increases. Transparency improves. Urban planning aligns with reality.

10×Faster

Land allocation: from months to days. Permits: from weeks to hours.

80%Less Paper

Manual entry, paper forms, and wet signatures completely eliminated.

35%Revenue Growth

Accurate valuations and automated invoicing increase land tax revenue. Service fees collected digitally.

24/7Service

Always available to the public. No queues, no office hours, no paper.

Technology

Modern technologies.
Spatial architecture.

Production-proven, built on open-source technology.
