Geocento

Founded in 2011 and based in the United Kingdom, Geocento is a technology-enabled expert consultancy specializing in commercial Earth Observation (EO) procurement. The company provides a marketplace and suite of services designed to optimize access to satellite imagery for a diverse range of clients across government, defense, security, and commercial sectors – currently serving customers in over 65 countries. Geocento differentiates itself by offering fully independent advice and procurement solutions, taking no margin from imagery suppliers to ensure unbiased recommendations.

Geocento’s core offerings center around streamlining the EO supply chain, encompassing market assessment, supplier lifecycle management, dynamic purchasing platforms, coordinated data collection, and invoicing/payment management. They enable clients to build “virtual constellations” – agile procurement strategies leveraging multiple commercial data sources – and provide spend analytics and supply chain performance insights. This approach is particularly valuable for organizations seeking to augment existing sovereign imaging assets or transition away from traditional, inflexible procurement processes.

Notably, Geocento’s platform is designed to be configurable and scalable, offering white-label options for partners seeking to integrate its capabilities into their own service offerings. The company positions itself as a solution for organizations needing adaptive access to EO data, supporting diverse use cases in areas like civic planning, resilience, security, energy, insurance, and asset management.
