The service runs as a consulting observatory. It was a pioneer in providing solutions for online geomarketing and business mapping by crossing own databases with open, public repositories under Creative Commons licenses. During its launching year, Planol.info was awarded with a grant from Fundació puntCat to incubate EIXOS. In 2012, it received one of the Galileo Awards from the European Space Agency (ESA) and also one of the Laus Prizes (Premis Laus) by Foment de les Arts i el Disseny (FAD) as the second-best web product design.
