The success story of intermetric and rmDATA spans more than two decades. "I value the long-standing, trusting collaboration with rmDATA and the rapid response times of their support team when it comes to questions about the rmDATA GeoMapper CAD software," emphasizes Heiko Lietzow, expert for support, IT, and development at intermetric. As an engineering company operating throughout Germany, intermetric conducts demanding surveys for infrastructure projects.

Evolution in Planning

As a former rmMAP user, Heiko Lietzow sees GeoMapper as a "meaningful evolution" and a "good successor product." He cites several key advantages: the clean object structure and the transparent handling of coordinate systems. "Both are very well implemented in GeoMapper." He adds that the ALKIS import via the NAS interface also works flawlessly, and the complex federal requirements for the property inventory model are well implemented.

The switch to modern planning software required a rethink of workflows, but now many more employees work with GeoMapper than previously with the AutoCAD add-on rmMAP, as the learning curve is significantly lower and surveying specialists can handle all their CAD tasks within it.

The transition to rmDATA GeoMapper marks a significant step forward. "The software is highly scalable," explains Lietzow, a qualified surveying engineer and computer scientist who makes optimal use of its technical capabilities.

Flexibility as the Key to Success

The extensive configurability of GeoMapper through Python scripting is particularly valuable for intermetric. This allows for perfect adaptation to internal processes and flexible data exchange between different systems. The clean object structure and transparent handling of coordinate systems are just as compelling as the seamless ALKIS data integration.

The new software also significantly lowers the learning curve for employees. More skilled workers than ever before can now handle CAD tasks independently, increasing the efficiency of the entire company.

Intermetric GmbH, based in Stuttgart, is a leading engineering surveying company operating throughout Germany and in neighboring countries. It conducts surveys for the expansion, modernization, and operation of public infrastructure, including railways, roads, and utility lines. Its core competencies include railway surveying, route planning, geomonitoring, and complex engineering structures.
