Who is behind congrega?

congrega is built by a developer who is active in a congregation themselves. The platform is shaped from real, day-to-day use — in close exchange with the first congregations who put it to work.

Where is data stored?

It is your choice. With congrega Online, data lives on servers within the EU, GDPR-compliant and without tracking. With congrega Local, it lives on your own hardware on your premises — personal data then never leaves the building. Many congregations prefer exactly that.

Do I need technical know-how?

No. The platform runs in your browser — on a computer or on a phone. If you can write an email, you can use congrega.

What if the maps don’t fit my needs?

Every order starts with a free trial print. Nothing is charged until you’re happy with the result — otherwise there are no costs.

Can I cancel at any time?

Yes. Management is billed yearly and only renews if you want it to. You can request an export of your data at any time.

Does this work with OpenStreetMap data?

Yes. All maps are generated from current OpenStreetMap data — including street names, house numbers, and building outlines. Whenever the data changes, maps can be regenerated at any time.

How do I print the territory maps?

You receive a print-ready PDF at the correct scale. Print it yourself or order it from a print shop. Every order starts with a free trial print.

Which file formats can I import?

Existing territory data can be imported in KML, GeoJSON, CSV and other formats — typically from Google Earth, QGIS, spreadsheets, or exports from other tools.

Can we work entirely without the cloud and internet?

Yes. With congrega Local the whole territory management runs on your own hardware on your local network on-site. Day-to-day work needs no internet connection and no cloud service — personal data stays entirely with you.

What does the local edition with hardware and setup cost?

congrega Local is offered broken down by line item: license, updates and maintenance, preconfigured hardware, and on-site setup. Since hardware and effort vary per site, we prepare a custom quote — just drop us a short message.

Can we switch from Online to Local later?

Yes. Both editions use the same software, so switching is possible at any time. Existing data can be carried over, so you can move from the online solution to the local edition without losing anything (and vice versa).

Which geo formats are supported?

KML, GeoJSON, Shapefile, and other common geo formats. If your format isn’t listed, drop us a line — most imports can be set up.

Does it work with CSV too?

Yes. CSV supports tabular data — e.g. a list of territories with number, name, district, and optionally addresses or coordinates. Column mapping is configured during import.

What if my data is incomplete?

No problem — missing fields can be filled in inside the app after import. You don’t need to prepare everything perfectly up front.

Do I get help with the import?

Yes. We actively support the first imports and look through the data with you. Send a short email with a sample file.

Import Territory Data — KML, GeoJSON, CSV

Upload existing territory outlines in the common formats — and turn them into print-ready maps in minutes.

If you already have territories defined somewhere — in Google Earth, in QGIS, in a spreadsheet, or in another application — you can import the data straight into congrega. All common geo formats are supported, as well as tabular CSV data. From the upload, a complete territory map is generated in just a few minutes.

Which formats work

KML (Google Earth), GeoJSON (QGIS, many web tools), CSV (spreadsheets, Excel exports), and more. CSV supports either coordinates or structured address lists — during import, a mapping step matches your spreadsheet columns to congrega’s fields.

KML from Google Earth

In Google Earth (free) you can draw a territory outline and export it as KML. This is the fastest path if you don’t yet have geo data — no GIS software, no learning curve. Upload the KML to congrega, the rest is automatic.

GeoJSON from QGIS

If you work with QGIS or another GIS tool, export the territory layers as GeoJSON and import them into congrega. Properties such as territory number and name are taken from the GeoJSON properties.

CSV from Excel or spreadsheets

CSV files (e.g. from Excel or Google Sheets) with territory lists and optional coordinates or addresses can also be imported. During import, you choose which column means what — no rigid template, just flexible mapping.
