Custom GX development for Oasis montaj

Extensions, automation and data-format tooling for geophysical workflows — built by a former developer in Geosoft's Professional Services group, where Oasis montaj was made.

What this is

If a workflow in your team takes forty clicks and an hour of careful attention every time it runs, it can almost certainly be a single menu button that reads its own parameters from the data.

Seequent no longer takes on bespoke development, and the number of people who write production GXs outside the company is very small — customers who go looking usually conclude there is nobody to ask.

I spent 12 years writing custom GXs inside Geosoft's Professional Services group, several of which shipped in the product. I have done the same work independently since, for organisations including several tier-one mining companies.

Work

Custom GX development

Menu-driven tools for workflows you repeat: gridding and levelling sequences, QC map generation, batch processing across depth levels or survey lines. Delivered as a signed DLL with a custom menu and help files.

Data formats and integration

Import and export for formats Oasis montaj does not handle natively — survey navigation, instrument output, client deliverable specifications — plus bridges to MATLAB, Python and downstream systems.

Training and developer support

For teams writing their own GXs. Available as training or an ongoing support retainer.

How engagements work

Every project starts with a look at how the finished GX would work — the inputs, outputs and behaviour, worked out against your own data — so you can judge the work before any price is on the table. If it looks right, I'll follow up with a firm quote for the build. The specification is yours to keep either way.

StageWhat you getTypical
Specification Implementation spec, validated reference case against your own data, and a firm price for the build. 1–2 weeks
Build Development and testing against the reference case. Fixed price. Source code delivered at acceptance. 2–8 weeks
Support Defect fixes and compatibility with each Oasis montaj release. Optional, renewable annually. 20% / yr

Most builds are quoted fixed-price, so the estimating risk sits with me. Quotes in your currency.

Nuts and bolts

Company
Mapways Geoscience Software, an operating name of 11630512 Canada Inc. Incorporated in Canada; based near Toronto, Ontario.
Procurement
Set up as a supplier under standard vendor onboarding, or engaged through an existing framework agreement or intermediary — whichever is simpler at your end. Ask early and it rarely becomes a problem.
Continuity
Full source code is delivered at acceptance and the written specification is detailed enough for another developer to maintain the work. Nothing you buy depends on my continued availability.
Platform
Built on the published GX Developer Toolkit, which Seequent ships with every Oasis montaj release — no undocumented behaviour.

Get in touch

Tell me what the workflow does today, and how long it takes.

That is usually enough for me to say whether it is worth building, what it would cost, and — often — whether you would be better off doing it yourselves. I would rather tell you that than take the job.
