Growing a heat network profitably means knowing where to invest next: which trench to dig, which building to connect, and when. But ranking zones by commercial potential at scale requires spatial analytics most sales teams can’t run on demand, leaving high potential areas unexplored. Urbio enables a data-driven approach the entire team profits from.

- Spot high-ROI zones

Identify high heat-density areas and filter by profitability to focus on leads worth pursuing.

- Qualify prospects with data

Score every opportunity with heat density, connection cost and deal size.

- Generate custom sales proposals

Build client-ready sales proposals directly from network scenarios, without waiting on engineering.

- Capture leads from your website

Make your networks and plans visible to your prospects and make sure they don't switch to gas or heat pumps unknowingly.

- Sync with your CRM

Two-way integration keeps sales and engineering on the same data, without manual handoffs.
