FAQ

Häufige Fragen zu Locata.

• What is Locata?

  Locata is an AI-powered location intelligence platform that scores thousands of candidate locations against custom criteria. Three frontier models (Claude, GPT, Gemini) run in parallel against European public data — Kadaster, BAG, BGT, BRO, NDW, PDOK — to produce a ranked shortlist with reasoning per location.

• Who uses Locata?

  Grid operators (Liander, TenneT, Stedin, Enexis) for substation and transformer siting; EV charging operators (Fastned, Allego, Powerdot) for charge point placement and concession bids; Statiegeld Nederland for bulk deposit return machine rollout; municipalities and consultancies for shared mobility hub networks; and retail chains like McDonald's for new-store site selection.

• How is Locata different from Placer.ai, CARTO, or Esri?

  Locata is purpose-built for European infrastructure rollouts, not US retail foot-traffic analysis. We run multi-model AI scoring instead of single-vendor confidence, integrate natively with Dutch and EU public data sources (Kadaster, BAG, BGT, NDW, PDOK), and ship per-location reasoning that holds up in ACM consultation and municipal council review — not just a heatmap.

• What data does Locata enrich each location with?

  Cadastral records (Kadaster), buildings and addresses (BAG), large-scale topography (BGT), subsurface registry (BRO), traffic intensity (NDW), national geo-portal (PDOK), CBS demographics, grid operator public capacity indicators, Google Street View, aerial orthophotos, OpenStreetMap, and per-vertical sources like RDW EV density or municipal plankaarten. All enrichment is standardised across candidates, so locations are comparable on the same axes.

• How fast is a Locata engagement?

  A typical pilot delivers a scored shortlist in two to three weeks from kickoff — week one for prompt definition and data integration, weeks two-three for the scoring run and reasoning review. Ongoing subscriptions support continuous evaluation as new candidates emerge across investment-plan or expansion cycles.

• How much does Locata cost?

  Pilot engagements start at €15,000 fixed-scope, fixed-price. Ongoing subscriptions start at €2,500/month with quarterly refresh cadence. Enterprise engagements for grid operators and major retail chains are scoped per program — talk to us about scope, integration, and timing.

• Is Locata GDPR compliant?

  Yes. All processing happens under GDPR with EU data residency. Customer candidate sets, scoring prompts, and outputs are never used to train public AI models — inference only, audit-logged. ISO 27001-aligned processes, available DPA, sub-processor list provided per engagement.

• Can Locata integrate with our internal GIS?

  Yes. Locata exports to GeoJSON, CSV, PDF, and a REST API. We integrate with ESRI/ArcGIS, FME, internal asset-management systems (Maximo, IFS), and project-portfolio platforms via export or API. Your single source of truth stays where it is — Locata feeds it.
