Your data deserves a map, not a spreadsheet
Mapping is one of our favourite domains. At KERN-IT, we develop custom mapping tools that transform your geographic data into actionable visualisations: store locators, heritage maps, network tracking, coverage analysis.
For some organisations, the map is the primary interface — mapping is the core of the product, not an accessory. Our KERN MAP solution, developed in-house, is the technical foundation of all our mapping projects. It relies on PostGIS, Leaflet, MapLibre and server-side clustering capable of handling millions of points — over 12,000 locations for Cushman & Wakefield, millions of measurements for GISWAN — without degrading performance.
What KERN MAP makes possible
Store locators, GIS & fleet management
Locate your points of sale, agencies, equipment or vehicles on an interactive map. Advanced filters, geographic search, catchment areas, exports and statistics.
Heritage maps & routes
Tourism and cultural platforms with points of interest, trails, multilingual content. Liberation Route Europe uses this technology.
Monitoring, data visualization & network coverage
3G/4G/5G signal quality visualisation, clustering of millions of measurements, geographic coverage analysis, decision dashboards. Reveal hidden trends and drive your field decisions.
Our mapping stack
PostGIS
Geospatial extension of PostgreSQL. Performant spatial queries, geographic indexing, server-side distance and intersection calculations.
Leaflet & MapLibre
JavaScript libraries for interactive maps. Custom tiles, markers, polygons, client and server-side clustering.
Server-side clustering
Our proprietary server-side clustering technology handles millions of points without slowing down. Essential for large data volumes.
GeoJSON & REST API
Django/FastAPI APIs to serve geographic data. GPS data import, shapefiles, CSV. Interoperability with OGC standards.

Frequently asked questions
KERN MAP handles millions of points thanks to server-side clustering. For Cushman & Wakefield, we display over 12,000 commercial locations in Belgium. For GISWAN, millions of signal quality measurements.
Yes. KERN MAP is designed as an embeddable component. We provide a REST API and React components to integrate it into your existing application, whether in Django, React or any other framework.
Leaflet is open-source, with no per-request cost and fully customisable. Google Maps is easier to integrate but imposes usage costs and customisation restrictions. For business projects, Leaflet offers more control.
A simple store locator starts at €15,000. A complete mapping platform with clustering, advanced filters and content management ranges between €40,000 and €120,000.
