A business directory is a list of companies optimised for outreach: names, phone numbers, contact fields. Spatial Context is a geographic dataset optimised for spatial decisions: GPS-precise coordinates, retail-aligned categorization, and native integration with the Woosmap Platform (Map, Distance, Localities, Stores). The same data points, framed as a map of your market rather than a spreadsheet of records.
Spatial Context records are traced back to official national business registries, tax authorities, and authoritative commercial sources across 100+ markets. Woosmap then enriches and structures that foundation for spatial use cases: rooftop geocoding on 100% of records, structured addresses, and a unified schema across countries.
100+ countries are covered, with strongest density in France, the UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, the Benelux, and a growing footprint across the rest of Europe, North America, and APAC. The taxonomy and file format are identical across every country, so your filters and integrations travel with you.
As a flat file (CSV or GeoJSON) deposited in a secure transfer folder, refreshed every quarter. There is no scraping infrastructure to maintain, no API limits to manage, no Google Maps Terms of Service exposure.
Yes. We share two ready-to-evaluate samples: one covering Montpellier, France, and one covering Oxford in the UK. They include the full schema and a representative slice of categories, so your team can assess data quality, geographic precision, and category depth on a real dataset. Other country samples can be arranged on request.
Spatial Context is built by the same team as the rest of the Woosmap Platform, with the same engineering conventions. You can pass POI coordinates to the Distance API to compute drive times and isochrones, render every POI on a Woosmap Map, surface POIs through Localities autocomplete, or power store-locator and proximity search workflows with Stores. The work to combine Spatial Context with any Woosmap API stays minimal because both come from the same place."
