On July 17, 2025, The Sanborn Map Company, Inc. announced its continued expansion into enterprise and public sector markets, focusing on clients using Google Maps Platform and Google Cloud. This move targets critical sectors like logistics, utilities, real estate, transportation, and public safety, where demand for integrated geospatial and cloud-based solutions is surging. Maurice Khollman, Vice President of Content Sales at Sanborn, stated: “Sanborn is eager to welcome our new customers and provide them with the highest level of geospatial services and support. This acquisition reinforces our commitment to providing tailored mapping and cloud-based solutions and strengthens our ongoing relationship with Google.”
Sanborn, a certified Google Maps and Google Cloud Partner with a Location-Based Services specialization, is leveraging its decade-long expertise to enhance client applications. The company ensures seamless transitions through comprehensive onboarding, technical support, and managed services, optimizing the use of Google’s APIs for mapping, routing, and place-based functions. This collaboration builds on Sanborn’s work with clients like the Utah Education & Telehealth Network, where a Google Maps-based telehealth finder improved service accessibility across multiple states.
With over 150 years of mapping expertise, Sanborn offers a robust portfolio including aerial imagery, LiDAR, 3D modeling, and cloud-native geospatial platforms. The acquisition of Applied Geographics (AppGeo) in 2022 has bolstered its capabilities, creating a geospatial powerhouse with partnerships across Esri, AWS, and Google. These tools enable clients to optimize operations, from asset management to urban planning, with tailored, high-performance solutions.
The geospatial analytics market is projected to grow to $147 billion by 2030, driven by demand for location intelligence in industries like transportation and public safety. Sanborn’s expansion aligns with this trend, offering scalable solutions that integrate Google’s APIs for real-time mapping and analytics, such as 3D visualization and advanced routing. The company’s ISO 9001:2015 certification ensures quality, positioning Sanborn as a trusted leader in the geospatial sector.
Sanborn’s deepened collaboration with Google Maps Platform and Google Cloud solidifies its role as a premier provider of location intelligence, empowering clients with innovative, data-driven solutions for a rapidly evolving market.
