Geospatial data is the term used for information describing an object in the physical world.  If a longitude and latitude is present, it is geospatial data.

Specific markers provide information regarding the quality of the data.

These include the completeness of the data.

An indication of the last time the data was maintained in terms of accuracy.

The quality of the data, once confirmed, will provide you with a level of trust in terms of decision-making.

Geospatial companies can belong to certain international member bodies that will provide standards in terms of usage.  These standards create trust in terms of interoperability, transparency and completeness of data.  AfriGIS complies to national and international data standards.

We provide access to well maintained spatial information though a variety of ways.

The data can be accessed via API or purchased and received in a variety of geospatial formats.

We interact with the spatial component of your data.  If you have an address in your data, either in your operational or financial or sales division, we can interact with that.

This will provide you with a wealth of information with regards to a visual display of your data or footprint.  This can lead to quality insights for future planning and growth.  Each address in your system will be clean, verified and validated.

Yes, All our product features are available via APIs.

A dedicated team of GIS data experts continuously updates all datasets.  Updated datasets are published quarterly, and all additions are recorded in our Release Notes (separate document).  Our quarterly maintenance releases are in:

• February
• May
• August
• November

South Africa is our base of operations, and we strive to build the data for the rest of the continent to the same level of excellence.

Currently, due to availability of data and authoritive sources for data we can provide our customers with administrative boundary level information, town / village names and a selection of roads and points of interest.  As the need for specific countries arise, we focus our attention and resources on obtaining the best possible solution.   All AfriGIS Data Points will contain information with regards to accuracy and source.

AfriGIS is POPIA Compliant and only provide information within the strict guidelines prescribed.  Client data is also protected via the POPIA guidelines internally.

AfriGIS builds and maintains a comprehensive list of datasets that represent the physical world we live in.  The quality of the data provides a platform of trust for our clients to base informed decisions.

The data is not available free of charge.

Due to the interesting nature of South African addresses, where 1 address can be referred to in a number of ways we allow for up to 53 million address variations across the different address types.

Suburb boundaries are not official.  They are aggregation of the Proclaimed town boundaries as supplied by the Surveyor General.  AfriGIS builds and maintains the Suburb dataset based on information sourced from the Surveyor General and confirmed by the Local Municipalities and Metros.

Towns boundaries contain the perimeter of the entire town, whereas a proclaimed town is the most granular level at which a town is growing.  As a new extension is proclaimed it becomes part of the town as a proclaimed town.  We recognise the extension in suburb names.

Internationally postal codes are ideal for logistical purposes.

In South Africa however the postal code regions are very large and make logistical delivery schedules and profitability difficult.

Suburbs are small areas within a town.  Postal codes are much larger boundaries and several suburbs can be found within a specific postal code.

The demand for and frequency of integrating interactive maps into web and mobile applications is rising. Couple with that the desire of software developers and their customers to customise the appearance, functionality, features and finer details of the integrated interactive maps and the appropriate solution that comes to mind is a JavaScript library for maps.

Leaflet is the leading open-source JavaScript library for mobile-friendly interactive maps.

AfriGIS Provides access to the data via API and the subscription model best suited to your needs will be determined along with an AfriGIS client consultant.

Data is provided in most geospatial formats. The various options will be discussed with the data team during handover.

All you need to locate your customers is an address.  AfriGIS will be able to locate your customers and provide you with a validated and verified address and spatial location (LatLong).

Confidence levels are one of the most important data quality indicators.

The range from Confidence level 1 to confidence level 2 will provide you with a clear view in terms of trust.

Specific client use cases have specific needs.  In emergency response scenarios a confidence level of 1 will result in saved lives and time.

Trade area analyses that use the aggregated footprint of data can make decisions up to confidence level 6 or 7.

A client consultant will be able to determine the confidence level of our business operations with you.

The geospatial spectrum of value and services are as diverse as the world we live in.

To ensure that your specific requirements are met to link your business to the physical world around you, a client consultant is the shortest route between your question and the answer.
