It is a territory mapping tool for drawing and comparing service areas on a map. Pick any address or click the map, then build a territory as a drive-time, walk-time, cycling, or distance catchment (isochrone), or draw a polygon by hand. Use it to map sales territories, franchise areas, delivery zones, and store catchments, then compare population, reach, and points of interest across every area.

Search for an address or click a location on the map, choose a travel mode (driving, walking, or cycling) and a time or distance limit, and Geo-Intel instantly draws the catchment as an H3 hex area. Repeat for each store, rep, or franchisee to build a full set of territories you can rename, recolor, and edit.

Yes. Add as many territories as you need and Geo-Intel compares their size, population, and points of interest side by side. Where two or more territories cover the same area, the shared hexes are highlighted as an overlap area you can tap to inspect - ideal for balancing franchise territories fairly and avoiding conflict or cannibalization.

Every territory comes with an instant dashboard built from open data: approximate area and hex count, total population and age structure, points of interest, built volume, demographics, and accessibility. Click the overlap area to see the same breakdown for just the contested zone.

It is a trade-area market-share tool: you place your own stores and competitors on the map, draw a catchment (drive-time or distance) for each, and Geo-Intel estimates how much of the local demand your network captures versus the competition - reported as captured demand, market share, contested demand, and cannibalization per location.

It uses the Huff gravity model. Inside the area where catchments overlap, each unit of demand is split between the competing stores in proportion to their attractiveness and inversely to travel distance or drive time, so closer and stronger locations capture more. Sole-coverage area outside any overlap is captured outright.

A catchment (trade area) is the area a store can realistically serve, drawn as a drive-time or distance isochrone. Where two or more catchments cover the same place, that demand is contested and shared between the stores. Demand that only one catchment reaches is exclusive and captured fully by that store.

Yes. When your own stores sit close together, their catchments overlap and split the same customers. Geo-Intel reports the cannibalized demand your network loses to its own overlap, so you can space new locations to add coverage rather than compete with yourself.

No. It is decision support for site selection and network planning, not an exact sales forecast. The Huff model shows the relative pull of locations given attractiveness, distance, and demand - ideal for comparing options and shortlisting sites, then confirming with local knowledge.

Yes. Geo-Intel is free to use with no credit card, no trial clock, and no paywall. Every neighborhood score and map layer on the site is available at no cost.

No. Geo-Intel is fully self-serve, so you can open the map and start analyzing locations instantly without a signup, login, or sales call.

Anyone making a location decision: small business owners, renters, event planners, marketers, and researchers. Business and everyday use cases are examples, not restrictions.

It blends four signal axes - demand, competition, demographics, and accessibility - across a 100-meter H3 hex grid, then shows a transparent per-signal breakdown for every hex so nothing is a black box.

Yes. You can tune the weight and direction of each signal in real time and watch the map update live, so the score reflects your own decision criteria rather than a fixed formula.

Enterprise site-selection suites are powerful but gated behind demos, licenses, and multi-thousand-dollar contracts. Geo-Intel gives independent users transparent neighborhood scoring for free, with no signup.

Compare candidate neighborhoods on demand, competitor saturation, and accessibility before signing a lease, then weight the signals that matter most to your concept to shortlist the best blocks.

It highlights areas with strong surrounding demand but relatively low saturation of your business category - the gaps where a new location is most likely to be underserved by competitors.

Yes. Renters and movers use it to screen neighborhoods for walkability, transit access, nearby amenities, and local demographics before committing to a lease or a move.

Yes. Event planners find areas with the right venue density and foot traffic, while marketers match neighborhood demographics to a target audience to decide where to advertise or hand out flyers.

It aggregates open Overture Maps building and POI data with optional public demographic enrichments - Zensus 2022 in Germany and NHGIS 2020 in the US - processed into H3 hex grids.

Coverage currently spans dozens of major US cities and many major German cities - including Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Cologne, and Frankfurt - and the catalog keeps expanding as new cities are processed.

Yes. You can draw a bounding box or polygon, or pick an administrative boundary, so scoring and ranking only consider the zone you care about.

Geo-Intel is a transparent, fast first-pass built on public data, so it is best for directional comparison and shortlisting. Confirm a final decision with on-the-ground visits and any required legal or financial checks.

There is nothing to hand over: Geo-Intel needs no account or personal details, and analysis runs on public geospatial datasets rather than your information.

No. The homepage shows a locked Berlin preview; the complete scoring app with full filters, area drawing, and all available cities lives at /app.
