Nobody has the whole picture.
Your data lives in spreadsheets, intake forms, and institutional memory.
There's no single view of who you serve, where they are, or who you're missing.
Reporting to funders and stakeholders means rebuilding the picture every time.
One directory, kept current by the people who know best.
A public map anyone can use, a private dashboard only your team can touch, and a clear line between the two.
Live interactive map
Every business or asset, located and categorized on one map. Filter by category, search by name, and see your coverage at a glance. Always current, never a snapshot.
Public submission form
Businesses submit and update their own listing: hours, contact, category, photos. The people closest to the data do the data entry, so your team stops chasing it.
Admin review dashboard
Approve, edit, or decline every submission from a secure dashboard. Nothing reaches your public map without someone on your team saying yes.
Embeddable widget
Drop the map straight into your existing website with one line of code. It stays in sync with your dashboard, so you update once and it updates everywhere.
Reporting and analytics
Coverage, engagement, and participation data, ready to hand to a board or a funder. Answer how many, where, and what changed without rebuilding it by hand.
Full audit trail
Every change is logged: who submitted it, who approved it, and when. When someone asks why a listing changed in March, the answer is already there.
Three steps, and nothing goes live by accident.
Submit
Businesses, or your own team, add and update listings through a simple form. No logins to hand out, no spreadsheet to version.
Review
Your team approves, edits, or declines each submission from a secure dashboard. You stay the editor of record.
Publish
Approved listings appear instantly on your live map and anywhere you've embedded it. One approval, everywhere at once.
One map. Four sites. Already running in Ottawa.
OTTAWALLS.art is a public, map-based archive of Ottawa’s street art, built and run by Malovey Labs, the team behind Urban Index. The map you can see here is not a mockup. It is the live archive, embedded with the same widget Urban Index gives you, and running on four different websites at once. One update, and every one of them changes.

Built on infrastructure that already meets the bar institutions expect.
Urban Index operates on enterprise-grade infrastructure managed by Vercel, Supabase, and AWS. Our platform leverages vendor infrastructure that maintains SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 certifications. All customer data is protected using AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS encryption in transit.
To satisfy local compliance and regulatory standards, primary databases, storage, and serverless runtime environments are hosted within Canadian cloud regions (ca-central-1).
Role-based access, so reviewers, editors, and administrators each see only what they need.
Nothing publishes without a person on your team approving it.
Every published change carries an audit record naming who approved it and when.
Daily backups, and a full export of your directory whenever you ask for one.
Straightforward, and scaled to your dataset and team.
One monthly price covers hosting, maintenance, and support.

Pricing depends on the size of your dataset. Tell us roughly how many listings you’re managing and we’ll give you a number.
The questions that come up first.
No. They fill in a public form: no login to issue, no password to reset. The submission lands in your dashboard for review, and you decide what publishes.
Yes. The map and directory embed into any site with a single line of code, and stay in sync with your dashboard. You can also run it on your own domain or subdomain.
You do. Every submission and edit waits for review, and every published change is logged with who approved it and when. Nothing goes live on its own.
It stays yours. You can export the full directory (listings, categories, locations, and history) at any time, in a standard format.
Most organizations are live in a couple of weeks. We import whatever you already have, whether that is a spreadsheet, a CSV, or an existing list, then configure your categories and map area before launch.
