Why teams evaluate Atlas alongside Mergin Maps

Mergin extends QGIS into the field. Atlas is a browser-first path when you want field and office on the same live web map—without a desktop sync chain.

Browser-first collaboration

Reduce “who has the latest project” issues with cloud-native projects.

Apps for non-QGIS teammates

Let reviewers, managers, and partners participate without QGIS installs.

No-code layer on top of maps

Add filters, dashboards, and embeds beyond raw data collection.

Offline-capable field capture

Atlas now supports offline mode, letting teams collect data without signal and sync automatically when connectivity returns.
