Customization & Extensibility

A GIS Platform You Can Shape, Extend, and Keep Evolving

QWC is designed as a platform rather than a fixed application. It can be adapted to local workflows, integrated with existing systems, and extended over time without forcing every client into the same interface or release path.

Customization

Tailored Workflows

Adapt tools, menus, and views to the workflows users actually need.

  • Role-based interface setup
  • Custom styling and forms
  • Task-focused user experience
Extensibility

Extend Functionality

Extend QWC with plugins and custom tools while keeping the core stable.

  • Plugin-based extensions
  • Project-specific tools
  • Maintainable custom logic
Integration

System Integration

Connect the client to existing services, APIs, and enterprise systems.

  • Standards-based services
  • Existing auth and data reuse
  • API-driven integration
Scalability / Future-proofing

Scalable Growth

Start focused and expand over time without replacing the platform.

  • Modular growth path
  • Structured configuration
  • Open standards foundation

Case Studies

These examples show how QWC can support both focused technical workflows and complex municipal deployments without forcing the same interface on every project.

Surveying Workflow

Fixpunkte - FPDS2
