Location Intelligence Solutions for Smart Organisations
We bring the where into focus across industries, including:
Telecommunications
Powering smarter networks with spatial intelligence.
The Spatial Distillery Company helps telecommunications providers map, analyse, and optimise their infrastructure. From fibre planning to service coverage insights, we turn complex geospatial data into clear strategies that drive performance, efficiency, and growth.
Build networks, manage entire lifecycles, and optimise with confidence. Our cloud-based SmartInventory platform enables real-time asset and inventory tracking, while SmartSQ streamlines operations to improve efficiency and customer experience. We also provide high-precision mapping data, Telco data solutions, and advanced modelling with MapInfo Pro to support RF planning, propagation analysis, and smarter network design. Trusted by Telstra, TPG, Vocus, NBN and many telecommunications infrastructure providers and network delivery partners such as Ventia, Downer and Mirait.
Local Government
Helping Councils Understand Place, People & Communities
GIS, Spatial Data & Geo AI Solutions for Local Government - We help more than 150 councils across Australia turn spatial data into better decisions. From GIS and location intelligence to demographic analysis, vegetation mapping, planning tools and public-facing maps, we help local governments understand their communities, improve services and plan with confidence.
The Spatial Distillery Company brings together GIS, spatial data, location intelligence and Geo AI to help councils transform the way they manage information, analyse places and deliver services to their communities.
Exploration & Mining
Mining GIS, Satellite Imagery & Spatial Data Solutions
We support mining and exploration teams with comprehensive GIS, spatial data and remote sensing solutions. From Vantor (formerly Maxar) high-resolution satellite imagery and 3D terrain data to resource mapping, environmental monitoring and geospatial analysis, we provide the data and technology needed to understand sites and make better decisions.
We also provide MapInfo Pro and Global Mapper software, along with QGIS and MapInfo Pro training, helping mining and exploration teams turn complex geospatial data into actionable insights that improve exploration, planning, operational efficiency and decision-making.
Retail, Franchise and Media
Location Intelligence for Retail, Franchises & Media
Make smarter decisions with location intelligence and accurate spatial data. We help retailers, franchise networks, media agencies and brands understand customers, competitors and markets through detailed location-based insights.
Analyse demographics, foot traffic, gyms, quick-service restaurants (QSRs), shopping centres and other key locations—or let us build a bespoke location dataset tailored to the brands, sites or markets you need to understand. From retail site selection and franchise territory planning to geomarketing, media planning and out-of-home (OOH) advertising, we turn location data into actionable insights that support better decisions and drive growth.
Urban Forest & Sustainability
Tree Canopy Analysis, Planting Potential & Urban Heat
We help local governments measure, analyse and plan urban forests, tree canopy and climate resilience using high-resolution tree canopy mapping, vegetation analysis, LiDAR, remote sensing and Geo AI.
Our spatial analysis supports urban forest strategies, tree canopy targets, heat vulnerability assessments, tree planting programs and climate-resilient urban design. By combining spatial data, advanced remote sensing and GIS, we help councils understand where investment is needed and develop practical strategies to create greener, cooler and more liveable communities.
