Location Intelligence
the Continent Runs On.
We map the ground truth banks, telcos, and governments can't get from global data — then turn it into platforms, locators, and analytics built for how Africa actually moves.

The PlatformOne Geospatial Layer,
One Geospatial Layer,
Every Location Decision.
From the data under your network to the platform your teams use every day — the full stack, owned by you, tuned for African operating conditions.
Locator Systems
Branch, ATM, and agent-network locators that turn your physical footprint into a network customers can find and reach — with live search, routing, and the coverage view your planners need.
Survey & Satellite
Ground-truth capture at every scale: KCAA-licensed aerial survey, drone orthophotos, and satellite and remote-sensing analysis — delivered as decision-ready maps and models, not raw imagery.
Location Analytics
The spatial questions behind expansion, risk, and inclusion — site selection, catchment, and market-opportunity models tuned to African markets rather than imported assumptions.
Data Products
Field-verified address, road, points-of-interest, and boundary data — the foundation global providers can't give you for this region, licensed for your platforms and your analysis.
APIs & Integration
Mapping, geocoding, and routing APIs and SDKs that plug into your existing stack — so location becomes a capability across every product and team you run.
The ConsoleYour Network,
Your Network,
Read as a Map.
Every branch, agent, tower, or asset — plotted on field-verified roads and addresses, with catchment, coverage, and the gaps your planners need to see. One operational picture, owned by you and updated from the ground.
- Live locator and coverage view across your whole footprint
- Catchment and site-selection modelling tuned to African markets
- Export-ready analysis for planning, risk, and inclusion teams

How It Works
Ground Truth to Decisions.
01
Map the Ground Truth
We start where global data stops — capturing and verifying addresses, roads, and points of interest on the ground, across your network and region, so every later decision rests on reality rather than approximation.
02
Build the Platform
We turn that data into the system your teams use: a mapping platform, a locator, an analytics layer, or an API — deployed on infrastructure you own, integrated with your stack, and governed on your terms.
03
Turn Location Into Decisions
The output is a decision, not a dashboard — where to grow, how to route, where risk concentrates, who gets reached. We stay with it until location is driving the outcomes that matter.
IndustriesWhere Location Is
Where Location Is
The Deciding Factor.
Banking & Fintech
Branch, ATM, and agent mapping; expansion and site-selection models; financial-inclusion coverage analysis — the spatial backbone of growth and access.
Government & Civic
National and cadastral mapping, spatial data infrastructure, and planning analysis — accurate, sovereign, and aligned to national standards.
Telecom & Utilities
Coverage and demand mapping, cell-site and fibre route planning, and asset inventory — networks planned against the ground as it actually is.
Logistics & Mobility
Routing on real road networks, last-mile and delivery mapping, and fleet and territory optimisation — tuned to how the region actually moves.
“We don't license you a view of Africa.We hand you the ground it's built on.”
The DifferenceOrbit Versus
Orbit Versus
Ground Truth.
The same map, built two ways. One is inferred from a distance; the other is verified where your customers actually are.
Global Map Providers
- Addresses approximated from satellite and global datasets
- Roads and points of interest often sparse or years out of date
- Per-map-load fees that scale against you as you grow
- Your data hosted wherever the provider chooses
- One global model, retrofitted to the region
Map & Allied
Ground-Truth Geospatial
- Addresses, roads, and points of interest verified on the ground
- Refreshed on a cadence agreed with you, built for change over time
- You own the platform and data — no per-map-load billing
- In-region hosting options so data stays where regulators expect
- Engineered here, for here — African connectivity and terrain
Trust & ComplianceBuilt for the Bar
Built for the Bar
Institutions Answer To.
Banks, governments, and regulated operators can't adopt what they can't trust. We build to the standard your risk, security, and compliance teams require — and we document the gaps honestly rather than overclaim.
Data Sovereignty
Your data is yours. We deploy on infrastructure you own or control, with in-region hosting options — so sensitive location data stays where your regulators expect it.
Regulatory Alignment
We handle personal and spatial data in line with the Kenya Data Protection Act and comparable regional frameworks — built for the compliance bar banks and public bodies answer to.
Built to Integrate
Standards-aligned data and APIs that fit your existing stack and governance — not a walled garden. Interoperable by design, audited at every layer.
Benefit-Level, NDA-Backed
We share capability openly at a benefit level and move sensitive specifics under NDA — so procurement, security, and legal can engage on their terms.

Map & Allied is the geospatial-intelligence venture of Esotrix Collective — a group of specialist technology ventures building the digital infrastructure Africa is written on. We bring the location layer: the maps, the data, and the analytics other systems depend on to know where things are and what to do about it.

Answers
What Teams Ask Us.
What Does Map & Allied Technologies Do?
Map & Allied is an African geospatial infrastructure and location-intelligence company. We build mapping platforms, branch/ATM/agent locator systems, survey and satellite data, location analytics, and data products for banks, telcos, and governments across the continent. Our slogan — unlock the power of location — is the whole brief: we turn where things are into decisions you can act on.
How Is Map & Allied Different From Global Map Providers?
Global providers see Africa from orbit — the addresses are approximate, the roads are sparse, the points of interest are years out of date. We build field-verified location data specifically for African addresses, roads, and points of interest. Clients own their platform and data outright, with no per-map-load fees, and every tool is engineered for real African connectivity and terrain.
Who Does Map & Allied Work With?
Banks and fintechs, governments and public-sector agencies, telecoms and utilities, logistics operators, and agribusiness — primarily across East Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa, with projects reaching the wider continent and the Middle East.
Do We Own the Data and the Platform?
Yes. We deploy on infrastructure you own or control, and the data and platform are yours — with in-region hosting options so sensitive location data stays where your regulators expect it. There is no per-map-load billing and no vendor lock-in by design.
How Do You Handle Sensitive or Regulated Work?
We share capability openly at a benefit level and move sensitive specifics under NDA, so your procurement, security, and compliance teams can engage on their terms. We handle personal and spatial data in line with the Kenya Data Protection Act and comparable regional frameworks.
Where Is Map & Allied Based?
Map & Allied is headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, and delivers across East Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, and beyond. It is the geospatial-intelligence venture of Esotrix Collective.
Can You Integrate With Our Existing Systems?
Yes. Our mapping, geocoding, and routing are delivered as APIs and SDKs that plug into your existing web, mobile, and back-office stack, and our data is exchanged in standards-compliant formats. Location becomes a capability across your products and teams rather than a separate tool your staff have to switch into.
What Does an Engagement Look Like?
We work in four stages — Scope, Prove, Build, and Sustain. We start with a working session to frame the decision you're trying to make, run a focused pilot on your real network and region so you see it working before committing at scale, build and hand over the system on infrastructure you own, and stay on for data refreshes, support, and capability transfer so your team can run it.
How Current Is Your Location Data?
Our data is captured and verified on the ground and refreshed on a cadence we agree with you — not frozen at the moment of a global provider's last satellite pass. Where your decisions depend on change over time, we build the refresh programme into the engagement so the map keeps describing reality.
