Arrowhead Tools (2019–2022) involved engineering of digitalization solutions across industrial and IoT toolchains.
DOTGIS CORPORATION SL
Spanish technology SME applying digital engineering and smart logistics tools to urban transport and sustainable city planning.
Their core work
DOTGIS is a Madrid-based technology SME working at the intersection of digital engineering tools and smart urban mobility. In their first EU project they contributed to a large-scale industrial toolchain for digitalization engineering (Arrowhead Tools), suggesting capability in software integration and digital workflows for complex systems. Their second project positions them firmly in urban freight logistics — specifically in building smart platforms that coordinate shared transport networks, model urban delivery flows, and integrate citizen participation into sustainable city planning. The company name strongly implies a geospatial or GIS core, which would explain their natural fit in both digital engineering and urban logistics mapping roles.
What they specialise in
SENATOR (2020–2025) targets smart network operator platforms for shared, integrated urban freight logistics.
SENATOR keywords explicitly include sustainable urban planning, governance models, and citizen empowerment as project themes.
Strongly implied by company branding and fit within spatial urban logistics context — not directly confirmed by CORDIS project descriptions.
How they've shifted over time
DOTGIS entered H2020 in 2019 through a broad digitalization engineering project focused on software tools for IoT and industrial systems — a horizontal, technology-layer role. Within a year they pivoted toward a specific domain: urban freight and sustainable city transport, adding themes like citizen empowerment, governance models, and multi-stakeholder collaboration to their keyword profile. This suggests the company is moving from generic digital tooling toward applied smart city and urban mobility solutions, where geospatial and logistics data integration is the likely differentiator.
DOTGIS appears to be specializing in the smart urban mobility space, where digital tools meet city logistics — making them a candidate partner for future projects involving urban data platforms, last-mile delivery, or sustainable city transport governance.
How they like to work
DOTGIS has participated exclusively as a consortium partner, never as coordinator, across both projects — a clear specialist-contributor pattern. Despite only two projects, they have engaged with 104 unique partners across 20 countries, indicating participation in very large, multi-partner European consortia rather than tight bilateral work. This suggests they are comfortable operating as one technical piece within complex, distributed projects rather than driving project direction.
With 104 unique partners across 20 countries from just two projects, DOTGIS has been embedded in unusually large European consortia — both Arrowhead Tools and SENATOR are flagship-scale RIA/IA projects with broad multi-national membership. Their geographic reach spans the EU but their Madrid base anchors a southern European presence.
What sets them apart
DOTGIS occupies an uncommon niche as a small Spanish private company contributing to both horizontal digitalization infrastructure (IoT engineering tools) and applied urban logistics platforms — a combination that few SMEs bridge. If their GIS background is confirmed, they would offer rare capacity for spatial modelling within transport digitalization consortia where most partners come from software or logistics backgrounds. For consortium builders, they represent a cost-efficient specialist from Spain in an underrepresented technology layer.
Highlights from their portfolio
- SENATORThe larger and longer of their two projects (EUR 130,815, running to 2025), with the broadest thematic scope — spanning smart logistics, sustainable planning, citizen governance, and urban space management — making it the clearest signal of where the company is heading.
- Arrowhead ToolsA major EU digitalization initiative in the IoT/Industrial toolchain space, notable for the scale of its consortium and DOTGIS's early entry into H2020 funding through a horizontal digital engineering role.
