About Us

Important decisions are tough enough, and far trickier when you’re not in control of them.

Dumb data – the old, the imperfect and the convoluted – only muddies the water. Putting your data in the hands of costly consultants removes you even further. And an opinionated and subjective approval chain can unravel everything.

When we started in 2013 to help people make better decisions, it was about making things simpler. But simplifying is very, very complicated.

Finding the best data out there was fundamental. Data that is clean, transparent, and relevant. And if it doesn’t exist, we build it. Then we took it away from the spreadsheets, so you didn’t need an aeronautical degree to figure out a mapping platform. And then we had to figure out how to put our 100+ years of experience and knowledge into your hands.

Everyday we listen to our hundreds of customers and thousands of users around the world. By taking the time to understand how you think about your business, we can overlay you, your sector, and your business meaningfully over our facts and expertise. So everyone can understand it.

It means every decision you make is informed, aligned, and you’re in total control of it.

"I recently started the search for a mapping and development software and submitted an online enquiry for GapMaps on the 20th of June 2022. I was contacted by GapMaps that morning and the demo was arranged for the same day. Two days later I signed up to GapMaps and received my login the next day. I have found their assistance incredible throughout the entire setup and training process. I would like to formally acknowledge this level of service because in this day and age it is not commonplace. I am using the system on a daily basis and it has assisted to decrease my due diligence time for sites dramatically and have even referred the system to others. Thank you to you and your team for everything, keep up the good work."

GapMaps quotes

Huw Feeney

Director, Dusk Group

"Without GapMaps we could do due diligence on three future sites a week. Now we can do 50. And we can look at sites from Cairns to Adelaide and make decisions in hours. With the insights from GapMaps in my back pocket, there has never been one occasion where I approached a potential site partner and they said they weren't interested in collaborating. Developers may say, "I can get the same information on RP Data or Google". Anyone who is working this way is wasting their time. As a valuer, why you are not using GapMaps is beyond me."

GapMaps quotes

Retail Fuel Developments

David Browne

“I use GapMaps every day. We visually build out trade areas, create trade data and analyze performance across the group. Good quality data helps pose deeper questions across the business - and this data has a compounding effect - especially when we can leverage it across brands. GapMaps gives the company's directors confidence that we are making decisions based on data, not gut feel. Using a platform like GapMaps helps us build the future of the brand without compromising the integrity of our existing business. Risk increases as your company scales. GapMaps is a powerful risk reduction tool.”

“GapMaps provides the high-quality data and insights necessary for us to develop and refine our network strategy. The GapMaps platform is very simple to use, meaning that we’re better able to connect our business decision making with data and effectively communicate those decisions to stakeholders. The ability to toggle between travel time and radius catchments has greatly improved our understanding of our catchment areas and market coverage.”

A pleasure to use a software that is rich with multiple layers of data allowing one to quickly ascertain all aspects of a site. There is no Gap Analysis tool better on the market.
