Support and Services
North River Geographic Systems, Inc has been in business for over 17+ years and the owner has been in the Geospatial Industry for 30+. We are a commercial support provider for QGIS and Community Support for Geoserver as well as supporters of a lot of open source software packages. In 2012 we started our FOSS4G (Free and Open Source Software for Geo) journey one on project that was a blend of open source and commercial products (QGIS/PostGIS/Fulcrum/ArcGIS) and we expanded our offerings to be solely FOSS4G based.

We also provide support for the TN NG911 Specification with the TN NG911 Address Project. The server is built off PostGIS/QGIS and can deliver data to most dispatch systems. It’s 100% compliant with the TN State Standard. Support for this software varies as it can include cloud services or data cleaning. Email us for details.
How we work (Estimated US Pricing):
QGIS Support | Support Blocks | Cost |

100 Hours | $15000 | |
TN911 | 72 Hours | $5500 |
- QGIS Support covers as many installs of QGIS that you have at your organization (not per seat). It is billed in 10 hour blocks at $150 an hour to help control costs. As an example a 10 hour block of time would be $1500 dollars US. A 20 hour block of time is 3000 Dollars US.
- We provide support until the time block is exhausted. We then bill again after notifying the client.
- One Block is good for one calendar year. In other words if you use 8 of the 10 hours in 365 days but not the other 2 hours they are not carried over unless the project is active and ongoing.
- Project based work: Customers are billed for 10 hours up front. Rates depend on the task at hand. Contact us for rates.
- Tasks vary from Cartography, Database work, Data analysis, data scrubbing, etc.
- If we can’t do the work we will help you find someone who can.
- If the project is much larger than 10 or 20 hours we provide an estimate.
- Estimates are free.
- 25% down is required at the start.
- Time is billed monthly.
- We do our best to come in under the estimate.
- Travel is estimated at the time of request and generally follows GSA rates for lodging and meals. Rates apply at the beginning of Travel
