Platform
Where-I is the unified geospatial layer above your fragmented address, mobility, and sensor data. Operations leaders model catchment, optimize routes, and forecast risk in minutes — not the six-week stitching cycles of legacy GIS stacks.
Architecture
Most operations teams don’t need another map. They need one spatial layer that absorbs every address list, GPS ping, telco signal, and sensor reading their business already produces — and turns it into answers their planners can defend in a Monday review.
Where-I sits above your warehouse, your CRM, and your field systems. You keep your data where it lives. We add the geometry, the indexes, and the natural-language surface that lets an analyst ask the question instead of writing SQL against five geocoders.
Core engine
The Where-I platform is composed of three independently benchmarked subsystems. An engineering evaluator should be able to interrogate each one against an incumbent without the others getting in the way.
01
A proprietary cascade that resolves postal, administrative, parcel, rooftop, and POI references in a single pass. The 99.4% verified match rate includes the rural POIs that ship in clean urban-only solutions and then quietly fail on the third deployment.
02
Shipped natively in March 2024, GeoGPT was the first production LLM surface for spatial analytics in the category. Analysts ask “which of our stores lost the most weekday foot traffic last quarter within a 15-minute drive of a competitor opening” and receive a cited, auditable result.
03
Our custom fork of SpatiaLite indexes petabyte-scale geospatial data into tiled, queryable surfaces. The result is a sub-200 ms response envelope on operations workloads that, on a vanilla PostGIS deployment, would queue for several seconds.

Integrations
Where-I is engineered to sit between your warehouse and your GIS — not to replace either. Every integration below is GA, documented, and in production at customer sites today.
Warehouses
Native spatial joins against tables that already live in your warehouse. No ETL, no shadow copies — bring the geometry to the data you already trust.
GIS tooling
Read and write to your existing GIS projects through standard OGC services. Your cartographers keep their workflow; Where-I supplies the live, indexed layer behind it.
APIs & SDKs
Idiomatic SDKs in four languages, a versioned REST surface, and a streaming webhook for event-driven workloads. Rate limits are workspace-scoped, never throttled globally.
Identity & governance
SSO from the identity provider your security team already approves. SCIM keeps user lifecycles in lockstep with HR systems, and every query is logged for audit.
