The solution

We delivered an AI powered workflow that discovers official store locator pages, extracts locations, and validates them with Google Maps Text Search and Geocoding. Addresses and coordinates are standardized, duplicates and missing stores are flagged, and outputs include an import ready dataset plus an exception report for review.

What we implemented:

  • Autonomously discover official store locator pages for each retail chain and extract location data
  • Validate and standardize addresses with Google Maps Text Search and Geocoding to ensure accuracy and consistent coordinatesDetect anomalies such as missing stores, duplicates, and inconsistent addresses
  • Highlight gaps versus the customer database for targeted fixes
  • Deliver an export ready dataset plus an exception report for manual review
