Municipal GIS and Digital Twins: Shaping the Future with Data

RIWA GmbH supports cities and municipalities with proven GIS solutions and Digital Twins on their path toward digital transformation. The goal is to make municipal geodata understandable, usable, and accessible to everyone—regardless of size or resources.

For more than 25 years, RIWA has been developing modular and scalable geographic information systems and specialized applications with spatial reference, precisely tailored to the needs of municipal administrations. Whether for water and sewer systems, zoning plans, traffic management, or environmental monitoring—the solutions provide the foundation for fact-based decisions, efficient administrative processes, and greater transparency. Development, operation, and hosting are carried out entirely in Germany—ensuring digital sovereignty, sustainability, and long-term independence.

With the Digital Twin, RIWA offers a virtual representation of municipal structures that integrates geodata, specialist information, and real-time data. It makes spatial and temporal relationships visible and supports sound decision-making as well as transparent planning processes. For the technological implementation of urban Digital Twins, RIWA collaborates with Virtual City Systems. Through this partnership, cities and municipalities benefit from state-of-the-art visualization technologies and interactive platforms that make municipal data both tangible and easy to understand.
