JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA – KasiKonnect, the definitive geospatial intelligence platform for the township economy, launches GEO Loxion, an innovative approach designed to empower municipalities to drive more effective and strategic local economic development (LED).
For decades, local government has faced the immense challenge of stimulating growth in townships with limited data and visibility. This has often led to generic, one-size-fits-all programs with little measurable impact. GEO Loxion is set to change this by providing municipalities with a dynamic, living map of township enterprise, transforming the informal economy into a quantifiable and strategic asset.
“It’s time to stop designing solutions without a clear picture of the mapped data,” said Janice Scheckter, CEO, KasiKonnect. “GEO Loxion gives municipalities the power to see their local economy in a way they never could before. We’re moving beyond guesswork to provide the precision needed for targeted infrastructure upgrades, business support programs, and the creation of specialised economic zones.”
GEO Loxion works by plotting every "kasipreneur"—from mechanics to spaza shop owners—on a detailed digital map. This allows municipalities to visualise and analyse clusters of businesses by sector, location, and key data points. For example, a municipality can now identify a concentration of auto-entrepreneurs in a specific ward and, with this intelligence, design a targeted support program to formalize and grow this emerging economic hub.
In addition to providing unprecedented clarity, KasiKonnect has built a scalable approach to data collection. Through a community-powered model, KasiKonnect empowers unemployed youth with a simple mobile app to map local businesses, verifying data and providing them with meaningful employment opportunities.
GEO Loxion provides the intelligence needed for strategic investment and partnership, enabling a new era of enterprise development that is strategic, effective, and transformative. It's a tool that maps the pathway to a more prosperous and accountable local economy.
