We build and run our own map platform, Placebook. It takes area analysis that would otherwise sit still in a report and puts it on a map where people and places actually meet — a way of reaching places commissioned work alone never could.
A storefront, a vacant lot, a corner of a plaza. Just list it on the map, and applications arrive from people who want to set up shop. Renting a vacant storefront outright is a heavy decision, but starting from a single day lets more people try. That accumulation is what leaves a city with its next generation of tenants.
Listing, applications, approval, payment. All of it, in a single screen.
Part of our area analysis is available right on the Placebook map. Each hexagon is 100m across; the deeper the color, the stronger that trait is in the area. You can choose where to set up shop by reading the map, not by guessing.
The Creative Map applies research from Kyushu University Graduate School to read where a city is heading next. It distinguishes places that have already peaked from places about to get interesting.
This layers area-management analysis onto the same map. We measure foot traffic, analyze the structure, connect vendors to vacant spaces, and record the results in numbers — all in one package. What we deliver is the area analysis; the AI camera is just one way of gathering the data for it.
This is an all-inclusive annual rate covering camera installation. There's no additional billing per location. Video is processed on-device, and no personally identifiable information is retained.
Revitalizing a shopping district isn't decided by how many events you hold — it comes down to whether the next generation of shopkeepers grows. Placebook is a tool for lowering that entry point down to a single day.
We can't promise vendors will always show up. We don't handle permit applications on your behalf, or arrange on-site staff for the day. Everything we can and can't do is published up front.
Full pricing, live screenshots, and options are all on the Placebook site.
No sign-up required — download directly. Feel free to circulate these within your office or association.
Just the area analysis, or just adopting the product — either one alone is fine. We can help you work out where to start.
