Mapify

Mapify IoT envisions a future where spatial data transcends static maps to become dynamic, strategic assets that empower communities and industries to make insightful, forward-thinking decisions. Our platform is designed to transform raw geospatial and IoT data into actionable intelligence that addresses critical challenges such as climate change, urban sustainability, and efficient resource management.

By democratizing access through a no-code, cloud-based platform, we enable both technical and non-technical users to harness the power of real-time geospatial analytics. Our approach integrates advanced automation, device management, and customizable APIs to foster innovation across sectors including smart cities, logistics, utilities, and environmental stewardship.

Through continuous innovation and educational initiatives, Mapify IoT strives to build resilient, sustainable communities worldwide. We are committed to empowering decision-makers with tools that bring clarity, agility, and foresight to complex spatial challenges in an interconnected world.

When we first stumbled upon Mapify IoT, we'll admit we were skeptical. Another "no-code" platform promising to democratize IoT? We've heard that song before. But after digging into what this Lisbon-based company has built, we found ourselves genuinely impressed by their approach to geospatial data.

Founded in 2020 as part of Focus BC, Mapify has carved out a clever niche in the crowded IoT space. Instead of trying to be everything to everyone, they've focused laser-sharp on one thing: making real-time geospatial data actually useful for regular humans.

The "Living Maps" Vision Actually Works

What caught our attention wasn't just their no-code platform—plenty of companies offer drag-and-drop IoT builders. It was their concept of "living maps" that got us excited. These aren't your static Google Maps overlays with some dots sprinkled on top.

We're talking about dynamic, breathing visualizations that process sensor data in real-time and actually help you make decisions. Whether you're tracking delivery trucks in Lagos or monitoring air quality sensors across Barcelona, the platform turns raw location data into something your brain can actually process.

Where They Really Shine

The platform's strength lies in its workflow automation features. You can set up business rules without touching a line of code—think "alert me when this delivery truck deviates from its route" or "trigger maintenance requests when sensor readings hit certain thresholds."

We were particularly impressed by their integration ecosystem. The fact that you can pipe data directly into Google Looker Studio or work with their APIs when you need more customization shows they understand that one size rarely fits all in enterprise environments.

Who Should Pay Attention

This platform makes the most sense for mid-sized organizations in logistics, utilities, or smart city initiatives—teams that need IoT insights but don't have dedicated data science departments. The sweet spot seems to be companies dealing with assets or sensors scattered across geographic areas.

We're less convinced it's the right fit for massive enterprises with complex legacy systems or tiny startups that need bare-bones solutions. But for that middle ground? Mapify could be exactly what you didn't know you needed.
