GIS Specialist Studio & OGC Spatial Exports
Connect QGIS, ArcGIS Pro and GeoPandas directly to cleaned UK spatial layers, or export multi-layer OGC GeoPackages (.gpkg) in British National Grid (EPSG:27700) and WGS84 (EPSG:4326).
- Authenticated OGC API - Features (ISO 19168-1) and WFS 2.0 endpoints for QGIS, ArcGIS Pro, PostGIS & GeoPandas
- Cloud-native OGC GeoPackage v1.2 (.gpkg), GeoJSON (.geojson) and CSV spatial exports across 6 UK layers
- Coordinate Reference System toggle between British National Grid (EPSG:27700) and WGS84 (EPSG:4326)
- Pre-configured QGIS 3.x Layer Style (.qml) symbology for instant desktop cartography
- Batch CSV spatial enrichment with OS Open UPRN, BNG Easting/Northing, and OA21 ↔ LSOA ↔ MSOA ↔ Ward ↔ District crosswalks
- Zero-ETL pre-cleaned UK open data across planning constraints, EPC energy certificates, HM Land Registry Price Paid, DfE schools, and ONS deprivation
How teams use it
UK GIS specialists lose hours every week downloading fragmented CSVs and shapefiles from ONS, OS Data Hub, HM Land Registry, DEFRA and local planning portals, fixing coordinate projections between EPSG:27700 and EPSG:4326, and joining tables on LSOA or UPRN keys before running an analysis.
Postcodewise GIS Studio acts as a unified UK spatial back-end. Paste your authenticated OGC API - Features (/api/v1/ogc) or WFS 2.0 (/api/v1/ogc/wfs) connection URL into QGIS or ArcGIS Pro to stream postcodes, planning constraints, EPC buildings, HM Land Registry sales, schools and ONS census metrics directly onto your desktop canvas.
When delivering client packs or running offline spatial joins, draw a catchment or select a location on our interactive map to export a multi-table SQLite OGC GeoPackage (.gpkg) with accurate Transverse Mercator + 7-parameter Helmert transformation into British National Grid (EPSG:27700), complete with downloadable QGIS .qml style definitions.

Questions
How are paid services priced?
Self-serve features are free to start where shown. Higher-volume API access, onboarding, exports, SLA support or custom workspace work is quoted and confirmed in writing before we invoice.
What is a workspace?
A workspace is the organisational boundary in Postcodewise where your team members are invited, assets like surveys or uploads live, and usage is reconciled. Business accounts create or join a workspace to collaborate under one agreement.
How do I confirm a final price?
Use the call-to-action on the tier that fits, or contact us with your context. We document fees, usage caps and support terms in writing before any paid work starts.
