Expert Guidance for Your Ocean Data Vision

We are the Ocean Big Data Specialist. At north.io, the ocean is in our DNA. We are passionate technicians, explorers, and data specialists who love the challenge of turning complex geodata into clarity. With deep expertise across domains and a strong focus on our customers, we help marine stakeholders - from offshore wind to navies - to unlock the full value of their raw underwater sensor data.

Definitely no. While many of our consulting projects use our ocean big data platform as part of the wider solution, we also offer standalone advisory services. Clients work with us to define data requirements for upcoming surveys, design future workflows, or develop a sound ocean data vision.

We work with a wide range of marine and generic datasets, including:

• Sidescan and Multibeam
• Sub-Bottom Profiler
• Metocean time series
• Seismic and magnetometer data
• Bathymetric grids and point clouds (e.g., LAS/LAZ, XYZ)
• Geospatial formats (GeoTIFF, shapefiles, WMS/WFS)
• We also support metadata structuring, coordinate system unification, and file validation workflows.

Our typical consulting model follows a 5-phase structure:

• Assessment – Current workflow and system review
• Design – Target architecture and data standards
• Implementation – Data onboarding and system setup
• Training & Change Management – Enabling your team
• Ongoing Support – QA, performance tuning, and scaling

We also offer custom packages tailored to project needs and team capacity.

Successful consulting outcomes require alignment across departments. Depending on the scope, we typically collaborate with:

• GIS & Geoscience Teams
• Project Managers & Technical Leads
• IT or Digital Transformation Departments
• Survey and Package Managers
