Also serving Alleppey
Alappuzha is a district of water, bunds and polders where location decides almost everything; WebGIS puts the fields, canals, routes and assets on one shared map.
Trusted by 200+ organisations across India & overseas — including
Few districts are as shaped by geography as Alappuzha. Kuttanad's paddy fields are polders, called padasekharams, kept dry by outer bunds and pumps. Canals serve as roads. Hundreds of houseboats share the same stretches of Vembanad Lake and the Punnamada waters. Flood levels, salinity, bund breaches and waste from boats are constant concerns, and the people responsible for them mostly work from paper maps, registers and memory.
WebGIS development from Acube produces interactive web maps and spatial dashboards built on open GIS technology, including PostGIS, QGIS and OpenLayers, so there is no per-seat mapping licence. Field data is collected on phones with GPS and appears on the central map. In Alleppey the likely users are local bodies, farming collectives, fisheries and tourism agencies and larger operators, and we would not pretend that every small firm needs one.
Each padasekharam has its area, its farmers, its pumps, bund condition and crop calendar recorded in committee books. Mapped as layers, the same information shows at a glance which polders have sown, where bunds need repair, and where harvest machinery should be sent next.
When water rises, officials need to know which wards, roads and relief camps are affected and who lives there. A map with elevation, past flood extents, shelters and boat resources supports quicker decisions than a list of place names.
Houseboat routes, jetties, overnight mooring points and sewage treatment locations are known informally. Mapping them, with GPS tracks where available, helps regulators and operator associations manage congestion, safety and pollution on the busiest stretches. Accident response also improves when positions are known.
Kuttanad paddy farming
A polder-level map for agriculture offices and padasekharam committees, showing sowing and harvest status, pump and bund assets, procurement points and harvester movement, updated from the field by phone during the season. Breach and flood reports are pinned to the exact bund.
Seafood and inland fisheries
Maps of landing centres, fish farms, clam beds and cage culture sites on Vembanad Lake, with licence details and survey data attached, for fisheries officials, cooperatives and research teams. Water quality and salinity readings can be added as a further layer.
Backwater and houseboat tourism
Route, jetty and mooring maps for tourism and port authorities and for large operators, with live boat positions where GPS is fitted, and public maps that help visitors find authorised boarding points. Waste collection points are shown too.
A WebGIS project starts with your existing data: survey sheets, shapefiles, spreadsheets with place names, even scanned maps. We review these with your team in Alappuzha, agree the layers and the users, and build a first working map quickly so that feedback is about something real. Hosting, training of field staff and later additions are handled by our Kochi team.

No. We build on open-source GIS components, so there are no per-user mapping licence fees, and the application and data belong to you. If your department already uses a commercial GIS, we can exchange data with it in standard formats.
The system is used through an ordinary browser and a phone app, and needs no GIS specialist for daily work. We train your staff, provide Malayalam labels where needed, and remain available for support. Complex analysis can be done by us on request.
For most small firms, honestly, no. It becomes useful for operators with many boats or vehicles to follow, for aquaculture and plantation holdings spread over several sites, and for utilities or contractors managing assets across the district. We would advise a simpler tool for anyone else.
