Geospatial intelligence and GeoAI · A sister company of Data Druid Tech Services
Kubinu builds geo-intelligent systems for companies and governments: location intelligence platforms, GeoAI that reads satellite, drone and street imagery, and data layers that show where to sell, build, serve and invest. Across Africa and the world.
Our approach
Satellite images, survey frames and field records all arrive as grids of cells. Most of them confirm what you already know. A few change the plan: the ward with no registration point, the road that floods every August, the enumeration area too large to walk in a day. We find those cells, check them on the ground, and show exactly where each finding came from.
Every finding is checked with people who know the place before anyone relies on it.
Every layer carries its source, date and method. You can always see where a number came from.
We start from the decision you have to make, then choose the data, not the other way round.
Products
Six products built on the same tools we use on our own projects. Each has a defined scope, a price basis you can check line by line, and a small first step.
A surveyed, mapped and planned estate: boundary, terrain, land use, plantable area and block layout in one map book.
Who it is forOil palm, cocoa, rubber and cashew plantations, large farm estates, agribusiness investors and estate developers
Your mapped estate on a private web portal and phone app: blocks, progress, issues and map books in one place.
Who it is forEstate owners, estate managers and investors following a plantation from a distance
A monthly satellite check of your estate: clearing, encroachment, flooding and crop condition, with alerts.
Who it is forPlantation owners, agricultural lenders and investors, estate managers and absentee landowners
A fixed-scope report on one plot before you buy, build or lend: boundary, terrain, flood risk, access and land cover.
Who it is forLand buyers at home and abroad, mortgage and collateral teams, developers, and lawyers acting for buyers
An offline Android app for mapping plots, assets and boundaries, with RTK GNSS positions and sync to your project.
Who it is forSurvey and research firms, outgrower schemes, utilities, NGOs and programmes
Plot maps and a deforestation check against the EU cut-off date, ready for an EUDR due diligence file.
Who it is forCocoa, palm oil and rubber exporters, processors, cooperatives and the buyers they supply
What we do
Your customers, assets, competitors and risks on one live map your teams actually use.
A question it answersWhich of our branches overlap, and where is the gap a competitor will fill first?
See all 10 offeringsModels that read satellite, drone and street imagery and turn pixels into counts, classes and change.
A question it answersHow many new buildings went up along this corridor since last year?
See all 10 offeringsReady-made and custom layers for demand, access, risk and infrastructure, delivered as files, tiles or API.
A question it answersHow many people live within 15 minutes of each of our sites?
See all 9 offeringsCatchments, travel time, demand forecasts and optimisation, on dashboards that update as data arrives.
A question it answersWhere would one new outlet add the most customers without taking them from our own?
See all 11 offeringsOffline collection, address and asset registers, and census frames, checked on the ground.
A question it answersWhich records came from the wrong place, and can a supervisor see it today?
See all 7 offeringsGeocoding, address matching, spatial databases and pipelines that plug location into your systems.
A question it answersWhich customer records point to the same place under different addresses?

Pick a city and a business question. The demo scores every hexagon for demand, access and risk, draws the catchment around any site you click, and lifts out the places worth acting on first. The basemap is real; the scores are sample data.
How a Kubinu map is built
Recent satellite or drone imagery: the base everything else is checked against.
Elevation and slope: where water runs and where roads can go.
The networks people actually travel, checked against the ground.
Enumeration areas, wards, districts and catchments: the units decisions are made in.
The one cell that changes the decision, lifted out and explained.
Try it
The same 5 km grid, read three ways. Switch the question and the map re-sorts itself; then lift out the cell that needs attention first.
Select a cell, or lift the insight.
Sample data, generated for illustration. Not a real place.
Where the work lands
“Where should the next store, distributor or van route go?”
Site selection, catchment and cannibalisation analysis, distributor coverage and route-to-market maps.
“Where are the unserved customers, and what risk sits under each address?”
Agent and POS network planning, location features for credit models, flood and climate exposure for insurers.
“Where will a tower, line or mini-grid serve the most people for the money?”
Rollout planning, demand mapping from building footprints, asset and outage mapping.
“Where should the hub be, and which routes waste the most time?”
Hub placement, delivery zones, fleet and route analytics, address geocoding for last-mile delivery.
“What is planted where, and can every bag be traced back to a farm?”
Farm boundary mapping, crop monitoring from imagery, outgrower registers and deforestation-free supply evidence.
“Who is missing from the count, the register or the clinic's reach?”
Census and survey frames, civil registration and health facility access, school mapping and disaster response.
How we work
We agree the decision the map must serve, the area, the data that exists and what done looks like.
Field checks and local knowledge. People who know the place confirm what the data says before anyone relies on it.
Analysis, maps and dashboards, reviewed with your team as they take shape rather than revealed at the end.
Data, method notes and training, so your own team can update the work after we leave.
Track record
years in survey research, national statistics and digital systems
years at Nigeria's National Population Commission, including GIS and enumeration area work
states supported in a national birth registration data programme
civil registration records under governed national reporting built by the founding team
Family
Data Druid builds decision intelligence software: governed AI over institutional data, reporting systems and field data platforms. Kubinu does the geospatial work. One founder, one way of working. Clients can engage either company, or both on a single contract.

No. Census and survey frames are one of six services. Most of the work is location intelligence for companies: where to sell, build, serve and invest, and GeoAI that turns satellite, drone and street imagery into data.
Machine learning applied to maps and imagery: models that find buildings, roads, crops or solar panels in satellite and drone images, estimate demand from building footprints, and answer questions about places in plain language. Every model is checked against field samples before its output is used.
No. Our roots are in Nigerian national statistics, and we work across Africa and beyond. Most of the method travels; local knowledge comes from field partners in each country.
They are sister companies with the same founder. Data Druid builds decision intelligence software; Kubinu does the geospatial work. You can contract either one, or both on a single contract.
Usually a one to two week scoping exercise that ends with a clear map of the decision, the data, the gaps and a fixed price for the build. Many clients start with one state, district or programme before scaling up.
We collect the minimum needed, keep it in access-controlled systems with audit logs, and follow the Nigeria Data Protection Act and the client's own rules. Personal data is removed or aggregated before anything is shared or published.
Yes. We deliver in open formats (GeoPackage, GeoJSON, shapefile, CSV) and can work inside QGIS, ArcGIS or your own platform. You keep the data and the method notes.
Fixed-scope projects are priced per deliverable after the scoping call. Retained support and embedded teams are billed monthly. Book a 30-minute call and we will tell you which fits.
