Stackbox
Stackbox is a technology company that helps FMCG companies, Brands, Distributors, Wholesalers, and Cash & Carry Retailers drive Route-to-Market excellence to millions of stores by optimizing Cost-to-serve, improving Sales Productivity and amplifying Distribution reach at scale using Location Intelligence and Deep Tech. The company was founded in 2016 and is headquartered in Bengaluru, India.
Use of OpenStreetMap
Stackbox uses OSM data in their delivery programs. In connection with the delivery programs, they collect valuable information such as missing roads, turn restrictions, oneway directions or information that is wrongly mapped in OSM to name a few. The collected information is contributed back to OSM with the help of their editing team.
Editing process
Stackbox uses driver feedback as a primary source in making edits (e.g. feedback about missing/ wrong road names, turn restrictions, directionality while delivering to stores). Stackbox also uses GPS traces of delivery partners to identify missing roads. Once a potential missing road/feature is identified, publicly available OSM resources are used to confirm the detection before making an edit.
Edits are only pushed to OSM if there is ground data available and edits undergo an internal quality check. They also have a team of experts who audit a random sample of reviewed cases to ensure high standards of edits are contributed to OSM.
Editing geographies
Stackbox contributes edits to OSM in India, South-East Asia and Africa.
Changeset Comments
The team will provide changeset comments that are in compliance with OSM changeset guidelines.
Stackbox Specific Tags
Edits contributed to OSM from Stackbox team will be added with the following hashtag in every changeset: #stackbox
Note: These edits are made using the traditional mapping process (there's no automation used).
Tools used
Stackbox uses a publicly available iD editor to make edits in OSM and takes steps to keep their internal version updated to the latest publicly available iD version. They have a tasking manager developed in-house to organize map errors into tasks and queue them to iD editor. As part of their QA process, they use OSMCha to analyze and review edits.
Mapping guidelines
Stackbox follows the mapping guidelines mentioned in OSM wikis. The major wiki’s we refer to during training are:

Stackbox Editing Team
Stackbox's editing team is based out of India, where they contribute to OSM by adding missing grocery stores, supermarts, roads, turn restrictions, oneway directions and road connectivity errors to name a few. When they hear feedback or get changeset comments, they take it as a top priority and take appropriate actions to their edits in OSM.
