We Built Matidor Because We Were Frustrated With Broken Tools
Twenty-five years of watching great consultants struggle with spreadsheets and disconnected systems. Now we are building the software they deserved all along.
This company was not founded by people who only studied field operations in business school. Our team has spent years working alongside the professionals who keep projects moving in the energy and environmental sectors.
As project managers coordinating environmental consultants and oil and gas operations teams, we kept seeing the same thing: complex, multi-site work being run out of spreadsheets, email threads, and generic project management tools that were not built for the field. Status updates took hours to compile. Compliance deadlines lived in inboxes. Budget surprises reached executives only after it was too late to act.
The professionals doing the work were not the problem. The software was the problem.Matidor exists to fix that. By combining project management with integrated GIS mapping, we give field teams and office leaders the real-time visibility, control, and coordination they need to run operations with confidence.
Two Tech Founders, One Powerful Vision
Matidor started with a simple observation: when your work happens in specific locations, your software should understand those locations too.
Our CEO, Vincent Lam, is a three-time founder with more than 25 years of experience commercializing software innovations. He launched his first software company at university, later served as a Technical Lead contributing to Google Earth, and worked as a project manager alongside environmental consultants and energy operators across diverse field operations. That mix of geospatial technology expertise and hands-on project experience revealed a consistent gap: the most complex, regulated work was being managed with the least appropriate tools.
Our Co-Founder, Sean Huang, brings enterprise sales and go-to-market execution. He scaled Morfus Mixed Reality internationally and helped Matidor earn recognition as a TechCrunch Startup Battlefield finalist and SXSW 2021 pitch finalist. He understands what it takes to make deep tech usable and valuable for demanding enterprise customers.
Across environmental consulting and oil and gas, the pattern was clear: disconnected tools created blind spots. Blind spots led to delays, cost overruns, and unnecessary stress for already-stretched teams.
In 2019, Vincent and Sean decided to stop working around these limitations and solve them directly. The idea was straightforward: build location-intelligent software specifically for field operations, in close collaboration with the people doing the work.
What began as conversations with frustrated project managers has become a platform used by teams across North America to run more efficient, predictable operations. The mission has not changed.
Only the scale of the impact has changed.Along the way, Matidor has been recognized by respected technology and industry communities, including:
How We Work: Our Values and Approach
ACES: How We Build
Accountability (A): Deliver What We Promise
We make commitments carefully and keep them consistently. Roadmaps, implementation timelines, and support agreements are treated as obligations, not suggestions.
For you: When Matidor commits to a feature, timeline, or outcome, you can plan around it with confidence.
Curiosity (C): Question Thoughtfully, Act Decisively
We ask focused questions to understand the real problem before we propose solutions, then move quickly once we are aligned. Our roadmap is shaped by ongoing conversations with environmental consultants and energy operators, not assumptions.
For you: Your feedback is not just heard. It directly influences how the platform evolves, so new capabilities match real-world workflows.
Engagement (E): Speak Up and Step Up
We take ownership. When issues arise, we surface them early, communicate clearly, and drive solutions to completion. Our team is encouraged to raise ideas, challenge assumptions, and improve processes.
For you: You get a partner that is proactive, transparent, and invested in your success, not a vendor that disappears after deployment.
Simplicity (S): Clarity Over Complexity
We do the hard work behind the scenes so your teams experience clarity in the field. From how projects appear on the map to how budgets, tasks, and compliance workflows connect, every design choice aims to reduce friction.
For you: Field and office teams adopt Matidor quickly. The GIS-powered interface feels intuitive, so you spend time managing work, not managing software.

Where We Are Headed: Mapping and Managing Field Operations as One
Matidor's vision is to become the standard platform that connects where work happens with how it gets managed.
Today, teams across oil and gas and environmental services use Matidor to bring site maps, tasks, budgets, and compliance requirements into a single, GIS-native workspace. Instead of juggling separate mapping tools, spreadsheets, and project trackers, they see everything in one place, on the map and on the plan.
As some customers manage thousands of workers and assets across multiple regions, we are investing in scalability, integrations, and automation that keep pace with their growth, without adding complexity to their day-to-day work.
What will not change is how we build. As we expand our capabilities, we remain committed to our ACES values of accountability, curiosity, engagement, and simplicity, so that every new feature serves a clear purpose and delivers measurable value to the field.
