GIS & Land Information Systems in Kenya
Bring land records, maps and planning data into one connected system. Salticon builds Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Land Information Management Systems (LIMS) that give county governments, land registries and planners a single, reliable source of truth.
What is a Geographic Information System (GIS)?
A GIS is software that captures, stores and analyses data tied to a physical location — parcel boundaries, roads, drainage, land use zones, utilities and more. Instead of static paper maps, a GIS gives you living, searchable layers of spatial data that can be queried, overlaid and updated as conditions on the ground change. For a county government or land office, that means being able to answer questions like "which parcels fall inside this flood zone?" or "how many unregistered structures are in this ward?" in minutes rather than weeks of manual survey work.
Accurate parcel mapping
Digitise cadastral maps, parcel boundaries and ownership records into a single spatial database that stays consistent across departments.
Spatial analysis & decision support
Overlay zoning, infrastructure, environmental and demographic layers to answer real planning questions, not just view a map.
Digitised land records (LIMS)
Move title deeds, valuation rolls and survey records off paper into a searchable, auditable land information system.
What a LIMS is
A Land Information Management System, explained
Where GIS is the mapping and spatial-analysis engine, a Land Information Management System (LIMS) is the records layer built on top of it — title deeds, ownership history, valuation rolls, land rates, disputes and survey plans, all linked back to the correct parcel on the map. Together, GIS and LIMS replace disconnected paper registries with one system where a parcel's legal record, its physical boundary and its planning status are always in sync.

3. Analyse
Overlay zoning, valuation and planning data.
4. Plan & report
Support planning decisions and public reporting.
Built for physical planning and public accountability
Physical and land use planning depends on trustworthy spatial data — where existing structures sit, which zones allow which development, where infrastructure is planned, and how land value changes over time. A well-built GIS/LIMS platform gives planning departments a live basis for approving developments, updating zoning plans and resolving boundary disputes, while giving land registries and valuation offices an auditable record that reduces fraud and double-allocation of parcels.
Salticon designs and implements GIS and LIMS platforms for county governments, land registries, survey and valuation departments and private land developers — including data migration from paper and legacy records, staff training and ongoing support.
