About us
Geodat AI is a geospatial and data consultancy delivering mapping, analytics, data engineering, and digital data products across sectors. Our name reflects the three core pillars of our work:
Geo
We work with data that has a geographic component, applying mapping and spatial analysis to help clients understand place. Our work ranges from straightforward, presentation-ready maps to interactive spatial tools, supporting decision-making across environment, transport, health, planning, and public services.
Dat
We design and build the data foundations behind effective analysis and digital tools. This includes data engineering, database design, and automated workflows that turn raw, messy inputs into reliable datasets powering dashboards, web applications, and operational decision-support systems.
AI
We use analytics and AI to enhance how data solutions are built and used. By embedding AI into our workflows, we improve efficiency and speed delivery of dashboards, web applications, and decision-support tools - always with a focus on clarity, reliability, and real-world use.
GeoDat AI is a UK-based geospatial and data consultancy specialising in mapping, spatial analysis, data engineering, and digital data solutions. We help organisations solve real-world geographical problems and generate actionable insight, delivering outputs that range from clear, high-quality maps to interactive dashboards and custom web applications. Working collaboratively with clients - and drawing on both open data and their own - we turn complex geospatial information into clear, practical understanding.
​
GeoDat AI was founded in 2025 by Dr Robert Berry, a geographer and data specialist with over 20 years’ experience in research, teaching, and consultancy in GIS and geospatial data analysis. Rob has contributed to more than 50 academic and applied research publications and has worked across a wide range of projects - from academic research to contract research and consultancy - supporting universities, government bodies, and businesses.
​
Our work is grounded in practical expertise, public value, and transparent delivery. Whether producing maps and visualisations, building dashboards and web applications, or developing data-driven and AI-assisted tools, we combine deep domain knowledge with strong technical capability. We use AI selectively to improve efficiency, automate routine tasks, and accelerate development.​​​​
​
We work primarily with free and open-source software (FOSS), including R, Python, QGIS, and PostgreSQL/PostGIS, alongside modern cloud infrastructure where appropriate. This approach ensures solutions are flexible, reproducible, and future-ready. By avoiding unnecessary reliance on costly proprietary systems, we keep overheads low and pass those savings on to our clients.
