We Are RYKER
RYKER is a geospatial tech startup founded by former members of the nation’s leading sustainable electric utility, as named by J.D. Power.
Based out of Sacramento, California, we understand the complex challenges facing our utility business partners and specialize in supporting utilities with cutting-edge geospatial technologies and data-driven solutions.
We offer enterprise consulting and custom solutions in mobile/desktop application development, configuration and support, various cartographic/mapping products, data modeling and analytics, operational dashboards and metric tracking, along with other enterprise technology and spatial data-related services.

At RYKER, we have purposefully created an employee-centric culture focused not only on innovation for our clients, but on improving the world around us. We believe that prioritizing employees’ needs and giving back to the community, is not only the right thing to do, but fosters a sense of pride, purpose, and a highly engaged workforce. We hope, this in turn, improves the lives of our employees and their families, the communities in which we live and socialize, and will translate to the delivery of work products that exceed the needs and expectations of our clients.
We look forward to innovating with you!

What’s in a Name?
In crafting our company name and logo, every detail mattered. It wasn’t just about what sounded good or looked appealing on paper; the goal was to encapsulate our brand's identity, values, and aspirations in a succinct and memorable way.
The name RYKER is derived from Nordic culture and represents strength, leadership and a willingness to stand up for what one believes in.

Cartography: We are geospatial professionals and cartography is foundational to everything we do.
Moral compass: We stay true to ourselves and stand up for what we believe in.
