Map Data Workflow

Bring files into a GIS

Need ORB content inside a GIS project? reaConverter converts it to SHP offline and in batch, so a whole folder arrives in the format your GIS expects. Placing it on the map is then a job for the GIS.

  • Convert a whole folder to SHP in one pass
  • Apply the same settings to every file in the batch
  • Pick up new data automatically with Watch Folders, or script the job from the command line

Everything runs on your PC, which matters for cadastral, utility and client data that should not pass through an upload form.
