Our location intelligence services adapt to your specific needs and include:
Data Visualization
We curate, transform, and create visualizations of data that make it meaningful and actionable.
More than 150 layers have already been curated into the MapDash Library, but your business decisions may require additional data. Our team transforms data from spreadsheets and raw data feeds into a visually intuitive formats that reveal patterns and insights. We draw from a nearly limitless array of data sources that include:
Esri - updated demographics (current year and 5-year projection), lifestyles, consumer behavior, and more
Public Sources - authoritative content from local, state, and federal agencies as well as other publicly shared data feeds
Datastory Labs™ - meaningful combinations and analytic outputs that have been created by our data scientists and visualized to present rapid insights
Your Data - your organization's data, transformed into map-based visualizations and delivered through MapDash
Premium Content Providers - trusted data providers who focus on specialized content for an industry or unique data type
Location Analytics
We measure, profile, integrate, compare, and analyze spatial relationships in the data.
We leverage more than 1,000 analytic tools within the world’s most powerful GIS platform, ArcGIS. Our team of experts perform location analytics that turn the invisible visible and give data a voice. These include:
Measuring relationships revealed in the data
Profiling places and people to present a summarized, actionable view of analytic results.
Integrating, comparing, and analyzing disparate data to reveal meaningful spatial relationships.
Presentation Development
We accelerate your ability to communicate with stakeholders using data-grounded insights.
As a leader in your organization, understanding what the data is saying is simply not enough. You need to communicate your insights to other stakeholders in a way that is meaningful so that you can foster collaboration, build consensus, and influence change.
Whether presenting to partners, board members, investors, legislators, or the community at large, your presentation must be grounded in facts (data), and it must be compelling (a story). When that powerful combination comes to life, we call it a Datastory.
Our team of creative storytellers create Datastories that present interactive, data-grounded map visualizations alongside graphics, text, photos, video, and more. The result brings your insights to life as a compelling experience that enables internal and external stakeholders to understand your strategy and decisions.
