About Monarcha

Monarcha is an AI-powered georeferencing platform built for mining, infrastructure, and land intelligence teams. It turns scanned maps, plats, and land documents into accurate, queryable spatial data in seconds. Aligning historical maps, plats, and survey drawings to real-world coordinates is tedious work. Most teams either hire specialists or skip it entirely, leaving critical spatial data locked in documents. Monarcha lets users upload any document and get a fully georeferenced, queryable GIS layer in 90 seconds or less. Want to learn more? Check out monarcha.ai
