VertiGIS Acquires 1Spatial to Expand its Product Portfolio and Global Reach
Take-private deal, valued at £87 million, to help VertiGIS power the next generation of intelligent, insight-driven geospatial networks
London, UK, April 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) –
VertiGIS, a global leader in geospatial solutions for utilities, governments and commercial enterprises, today announces it has closed its acquisition of 1Spatial, a longstanding VertiGIS partner and a global provider of advanced Location Master Data Management (LMDM) software. VertiGIS is backed by global, technology-focused investment firm Battery Ventures.
Together, VertiGIS and 1Spatial will offer customers a comprehensive geospatial technology portfolio, combining 1Spatial's data-management platform with VertiGIS' industry-focused business applications. While VertiGIS has built its reputation delivering high-value workflows at the application tier, 1Spatial adds a powerful data-quality and automation layer, giving customers the tools to evaluate, enrich, and govern the spatial data that underpins those applications. As organizations increasingly look to leverage AI agents and large language models in their geospatial workflows, the quality of underlying data becomes critical. 1Spatial's rules engine can prepare that data for AI consumption.
The combination also significantly expands VertiGIS' geographic reach, specifically into new markets including the U.K., France, and the Benelux region while strengthening existing footprints in North America and Australia. Customers will benefit from a deeper product portfolio that includes 1Spatial's popular 1Integrate rules engine and its innovative 1Streetworks solution, which helps municipalities better manage infrastructure construction projects, as well as a broader suite of complementary, vertically focused solutions for water utilities, telecoms, transportation authorities, and other infrastructure-focused organizations.
Under the terms of the deal – valued at GBP £87.10 million and first announced in December 2025 – 1Spatial shareholders received 73 pence in cash per share. The offer represented a premium of 56.99% to the closing price of 46.50 pence per 1Spatial Share on 11 December, 2025, the last business day before the Possible Offer Announcement.
“High quality, trustworthy data is the foundation of every modern geospatial system and is critical for the autonomous and predictive future we are building,” said Andy Berry, CEO of VertiGIS. “1Spatial’s expertise and technology complement our portfolio and strengthen our ability to help customers accelerate digital transformation. We’re delighted to welcome the 1Spatial team into VertiGIS.”
1Spatial customers can expect continuity of service and uninterrupted access to current products and support channels, along with access to a broader set of market-leading geospatial solutions from VertiGIS.

1Spatial’s solutions are used by national and regional governments, utilities, telecoms, transport agencies, and infrastructure operators - sectors where VertiGIS already has a strong and expanding footprint. Integrating 1Spatial’s technology directly into the VertiGIS portfolio will accelerate VertiGIS’ strategy to deliver end-to-end geospatial solutions, from data creation and validation to analytics, operations, and field execution.
1Spatial is recognised for its patented, automated rules engine that enables organisations to manage, validate, and enhance large-scale geospatial and location data with high accuracy and consistency. Its LMDM platform provides:

The acquisition enhances VertiGIS’ ability to deliver enterprise-grade data integrity, enabling customers to unlock greater value from their GIS investments. For 1Spatial’s customers, the transaction provides access to VertiGIS’ global product suite, international support network, and industry specific innovations and roadmap.
