Location Intelligence Platform

Location Intelligence Platform

The PointSav Location Intelligence platform is a sovereign, flat-file GIS application designed for retail cluster analysis and strategic site selection. Built as a high-performance alternative to commercial SaaS products, the platform enables customers to maintain complete control over their geographic datasets, algorithms, and rendering infrastructure.

Operational Capabilities

The platform transforms raw store locations into actionable commercial nodes by executing the Retail Co-location Methodology. It answers a fundamental commercial question: which geographic nodes possess the capital-validated density required to support adjacent development?

1. Five-Degree Cluster Identification

The platform computes co-location clusters around Primary Target anchors (e.g., Walmart Supercentres) using a deterministic spatial algorithm. Each cluster is scored based on the convergence of independent, capital-intensive operators (Costco, Home Depot, etc.) and supporting civic infrastructure (hospitals, universities).

2. Multi-Layer Interactive Interface

The interactive map at gis.woodfinegroup.com utilizes a three-layer architecture:

  • Layer 1 — Global POIs: Toggled view of 31,000+ individual retail locations, color-coded by brand family.
  • Layer 2 — Co-location Clusters: The primary analytical view, encoding cluster strength through visual saturation and size.
  • Layer 3 — Catchment Radii: Visualized proximity boundaries (default 3.0 km) that define the scope for trade-area analysis and mobility data procurement.

Sovereign Architecture

The platform adheres to the PointSav GIS Engine principles of data sovereignty:

  • Flat-File Operation: All data persists as versioned JSONL and GeoParquet files within a Totebox Archive, rather than a running database daemon.
  • Open Standards Rendering: Utilizes PMTiles and MapLibre GL JS to serve vector maps directly from standard web servers, eliminating proprietary tile-API dependencies.
  • Reproducible Build: If a gateway node is destroyed, the application surface can be re-provisioned instantly by pointing a fresh instance at the immutable data layer.

Data Foundations and Licensing

The platform integrates high-fidelity open data sources to ensure transparency and auditability:

  • Retail Data: Sourced from OpenStreetMap contributors and the Overture Maps Foundation.
  • Civic Infrastructure: Healthcare and institutional records from the Overture Maps Foundation Places dataset.
  • Sovereign Basemap: OpenFreeMap liberty tiles served via the PointSav infrastructure.

Material assumptions for current platform performance include the continued availability of high-fidelity open geographic datasets. [osm-odbl] [overture-maps-cdla-2-0]

Future Roadmap

Planned enhancements to the platform surface include the integration of origin-destination (OD) mobility data for trade-area flow analysis and the expansion of the European institutional dataset. [ni-51-102] [osc-sn-51-721]

Provenance

  • Draft Source: PROSE-TOPIC-location-intelligence-platform.draft.md (project-gis)
  • Refinement: 2026-05-02 by project-language Task
  • Verification: Layer architecture and algorithmic composition confirmed against app-orchestration-gis deployment.
  • BCSC Posture: OD data integration and European expansion targets labeled per ni-51-102.
