What we do
Three practices, one team

Most clients start with one question — "where should we open next?" — and discover two more they didn't know they had. We solve all three.

01

Market Expansion Strategy

We identify exactly which suburb to open your next location in — not a shortlist, a ranked recommendation backed by census demographics and live competitor data. The wrong suburb costs $150k+ in underperforming lease commitments. We eliminate that risk.

Site selection modelling across 40+ suburbs
Catchment area & trade area analysis

Route-to-Market Optimisation

Territories drawn around postcodes rather than real demand leave an average of 20–30% of your market uncovered. We redesign your sales coverage using geographic data so your reps spend less time driving and more time selling.

Location Intelligence Systems

If your analyst spends every Monday rebuilding the same location report in Excel, that’s a solved problem. We build the automated AI pipeline that answers “where are we growing and where are we losing?” every week — without anyone touching a spreadsheet.

How it works
From audit to insight in four steps

Every engagement starts with a Territory Audit — a fixed-fee report that validates your expansion strategy with real data, fully credited against your project if you proceed.

Step 01

Territory Audit — $299, fully credited

We analyse your current footprint and identify your top 3 untapped opportunities using real ABS and competitor data. $299 fixed fee, fully credited against any full project — delivered in 5 business days.

Step 02

Data readiness check

If you have existing customer or sales records, we review them first. CRM exports often carry address gaps, duplicates or inconsistencies — we scope and fix these before analysis starts. No client data? We build the entire picture from ABS Census, GNAF and live competitor sources instead.

Step 03

Analysis & delivery

We run the geomarketing analysis using ABS Census, GNAF and competitor data — plus your cleaned records where relevant. Delivered as an interactive map or PDF report.

Step 04

Ongoing intelligence

Optional retainer: a live location dashboard that updates as your business and market evolves. Add AI automation to handle reporting automatically.

Selected work
Problems we've solved

One case study per pillar. Real outputs, real outcomes.

Pillar 01 · Market Expansion

Music school chain — western Melbourne expansion

Scored 8 suburbs across Hobsons Bay and Wyndham to identify the optimal location for a second campus. Analysis combined ABS family demographics, school-age population, income data and competitor mapping. Delivered in 5 business days.

Top suburb identified with zero direct competitors within 4km — decision made in days not months
Pillar 02 · Route-to-Market

QSR franchise — territory rebalance across 42 Victorian sites

Existing franchise territories were built around postcodes rather than population coverage. We redesigned boundaries to equalise catchment sizes, reduce overlap and align with new store openings in Melbourne's growth corridors.

23% reduction in franchisee territory disputes — and three uncovered growth corridors identified
Pillar 03 · Intelligence Systems

Insurance broker — CRM geocoding and automated location reporting

Cleaned, standardised and geocoded 85,000 customer records from a legacy system into CRM with GNAF address matching. Built an automated weekly report showing policy concentration by suburb and emerging coverage gaps.

99.4% address match rate — analysis that had previously been impossible to run
What clients say
Results that speak

From boutique music schools to national franchise groups — we earn trust by delivering fast.

"The territorial audit gave us exactly what we needed before committing to our western Melbourne expansion. Lokko's data proved our assumptions wrong and showed us exactly where the real whitespace was."

Danilo Rojas
Founder · Crescendo Music School

"Instead of spending on broad advertising, Lokko mapped exactly where our highest-value wholesale customers were located. The territory analysis completely reshaped how we approach B2B outreach across Victoria."

JT
J. Taylor
Founder · Specialty Retail & Wholesale

"Lokko transformed 85,000 messy, outdated CRM records into a precise, mapped intelligence system. Their automated pipelines mean we now see exactly where our policies are concentrated — without anyone having to manually fix addresses every week."

Who we are

Built by people who know what it means to work harder to be heard

Lokko is a boutique location intelligence consultancy based in Melbourne. We use data to help businesses find exactly where to grow — and we believe the best decisions come from evidence, not assumptions. That belief runs through everything we do.

SZ
Sandra Zuluaga
Founder · Data & Analytics

Sandra brings together data engineering, geospatial analysis and AI to build the kind of location intelligence that used to be available only to large enterprises. Originally from Colombia and now based in Melbourne, she built Lokko to make rigorous, data-driven site selection accessible to businesses of any size. She is a firm believer that the best insights come from listening carefully — whether to the data or to the clients.

Damon Watt
Business Development

Damon is Lokko's commercial lead and often the first conversation a prospective client has with us. With a natural instinct for what decision-makers actually need to hear, Damon brings warmth, patience, and genuine curiosity to every engagement. He understands that good advice starts with understanding a client's real situation, not just the one that looks neat on paper.

Evidence first

Every recommendation is grounded in real data — ABS Census, live competitor mapping and movement analytics. We don't do gut feel dressed up as strategy.

Accessible intelligence

The kind of location analysis we deliver used to require a large consulting team and a six-figure budget. We've built tools that make it available to businesses of any size.

Honest timelines

We say what we can deliver and when. A Territory Audit in 5 business days means 5 business days. A full analysis is scoped clearly before we start, not after.

Inclusion isn't a policy. It's how we work.

Lokko is founded and led by people who have had to prove themselves in rooms that weren't designed for them — a Colombian-Australian founder who is hard of hearing, and an Australian commercial lead who is paraplegic. We understand what it means when a client feels like the system wasn't built with them in mind. We are committed to accessible communication, flexible engagement, and analysis that gives every business the same quality of insight regardless of its size or background.
