Plan, verify and score
by real geography.
Location intelligence for East African markets — geocoding, mapping, and proximity analytics built on OpenStreetMap data, delivered through clean APIs your products can rely on.
Networks planned from a spreadsheet, not from geography.
Branch, agent and ATM decisions are still made from ward lists and population figures — and East African addresses rarely resolve to a point on a map without help.
The result is coverage that overlaps in some places, misses others, and collateral that was verified from a description rather than a coordinate.
- Sites chosen from a ward list
Locations that look right on paper overlap with existing coverage or sit where customers cannot reach them.
- Addresses that do not geocode
Landmark-style addressing means customer and collateral locations are recorded as text nobody can verify.
- Field visits planned on straight-line distance
Route and travel-time reality is missing, so agents and deliveries are scheduled on guesswork.
What changes when geography is in the decision.
Travel-time catchments and overlap analysis for branch, agent and ATM networks.
Geocode and check customer and collateral addresses while the application is still open.
Zone and jurisdiction risk feeding the customer risk-assessment model, alongside the AML platform.
Well-documented REST endpoints for geocoding, tiles, proximity and routing, instead of maintaining geospatial tooling in-house.
Turn a place into a decision.
Convert addresses to coordinates and back, tuned for East African addressing realities — so a landmark-style address still resolves to a point you can verify.
Serve fast, styled map tiles built from OpenStreetMap data for your apps and dashboards — so your teams see customers, agents and risk on a map, not in a table.
Find what's near a point — branches, agents, or risk hotspots within any radius.
Model coverage and overlap to plan branch, agent, and ATM networks — so a new site is placed where it adds reach rather than cannibalising an existing one.
Compute travel distance and time between points for logistics and field operations — so visits and deliveries are planned on real travel time, not straight-line distance.
Well-documented REST endpoints with predictable responses your engineers will enjoy.
Built into the products you already run.
Plan and optimise physical coverage with real geography.
Geo-verify customer and collateral locations during onboarding.
Score high-risk jurisdictions and zones in your CRA model.
Route and track field teams and deliveries efficiently.
For the teams whose decisions have a location in them.
Built for East African markets, where the address on the form and the point on the map are rarely the same thing.
Banks, MFIs and retailers placing branches, agents and ATMs where people can actually reach them.
Teams that need to verify a customer or collateral location while the application is still open.
Route planning and travel-time scheduling for deliveries, agents and field visits.
Engineers adding maps, geocoding and proximity to their own applications through REST APIs.
Frequently asked questions.
Is OpenStreetMap data good enough for commercial decisions?
It varies by geography and by feature type. Road networks in and around major East African towns are well mapped and improve continuously; building footprints and points of interest are patchier outside urban centres. We clean and validate the data we serve, so use it with confidence where it is strong and check it where it is not.
Can we use OpenStreetMap data commercially?
Yes. OpenStreetMap data is published under the Open Database License (ODbL), which permits commercial use with attribution to OpenStreetMap contributors. Any product built on it carries that attribution, including ours.
How do we integrate it?
As Azure-hosted REST APIs — geocoding and reverse geocoding, map tiles, proximity, catchment and routing — that your own applications, dashboards and onboarding flows call directly.
Which markets are covered?
The services are tuned for East African addressing and road networks, where our customers operate. OpenStreetMap itself is global, so talk to us about other geographies.
