Wherobots

Geospatial data processing cloud platform

Overview

Wherobots provides a cloud platform for geospatial data processing and analytics. It lets large organizations manage and analyze spatial data at scale through a single, integrated system built on Apache Sedona that runs on modern cluster engines like Apache Spark and Apache Flink. The platform supports data ingestion, processing, debugging, testing, and delivering geospatial AI/ML analytics, with tight integration to other spatial tools and cloud resources. What sets Wherobots apart is the “single pane of glass” approach that unifies all spatial data needs in one place and enables real-time data engineering at planetary scale, rather than requiring separate tools. Its goal is to help Fortune 500 and other enterprises efficiently build, deploy, and run geospatial applications and analytics across large datasets.

Wherobots and Felt partner to end siloed legacy GIS with AI-ready spatial data stack

Wherobots and Felt have announced a strategic partnership to modernise the geospatial data stack by integrating Wherobots' Spatial Intelligence lakehouse with Felt's collaborative mapping platform. The integration allows organisations to process petabyte-scale geospatial datasets in the cloud and visualise insights directly in interactive, shareable maps without moving data between systems. Leaf Agriculture is already using the combined solution, processing agricultural and telemetry data through Wherobots and creating interactive maps via Felt for their LeafLake product. The partnership eliminates traditional friction in GIS workflows by connecting cloud-native data engineering with browser-based visualisation. Wherobots' Community Edition is available at no cost, whilst enterprise features require Wherobots Professional Edition and Felt's Enterprise plan. Qualifying customers can receive proof-of-concept credits.
