Use cases

What BFSI teams build with the platform.

Branch siting, ATM rationalisation and underwriting risk all come down to the same question asked at different radii: who is inside this catchment, and what are they worth. One dataset answers all three, which is why the branch team and the risk team stop arguing about the map.

  1. 01

    Branch network planning

    Model new-branch impact on existing branches before signing the lease. HDFC and ICICI use this to cut internal cannibalisation 18%.

    SmartMarket
  2. 02

    ATM siting and rationalisation

    Overlay demographic spend power, footfall, and competitor density to identify which ATMs to keep, move, or retire.

    SmartData
  3. 03

    Underwriting and risk modelling

    Pin-code-level location-risk scoring for motor, property, and commercial lines. Catchment polygons and claims overlay for Allianz-class insurers.

    SmartData

Products for BFSI

From a network planning team

Not where we can open. Where we should.

We stopped opening branches near branches. SmartMarket reframed the conversation from 'where can we open' to 'where should we open.'

Questions

What BFSI leadership asks first.

  1. 01

    Does this work for Indian tier-2 and tier-3 cities?

    Yes, that's where SmartData earns its keep. 50M+ Indian POIs with deep coverage outside metros, refreshed weekly. Demographic data aligns to latest census plus annual proprietary surveys.

  2. 02

    How do we integrate with existing core banking or branch dashboards?

    Standard exports (Shapefile, GeoJSON, KML, CSV) plus REST APIs. Most BFSI customers pipe Lepton output into Tableau, Power BI or internal dashboards directly.

  3. 03

    Data residency and RBI compliance?

    All Indian customer data hosted in India-region data centres. SOC2 Type II, ISO27001, plus alignment to RBI cybersecurity guidelines and DPDP Act consent flows.
