datascouts location intelligence & data visualization
DESCRIPTION
DataScouts is born out of the conviction that place plays an important role in many business decisions. Geo-locative data are fundamental to defining your go-to-market strategy and building a concrete marketing and sales action plan. 70% to 80% of business data have a geolocative component, but corporate information is rarely visualised on a map. We are convinced that people can make better decisions based on better information and that visualising information is a key enabler. Mapping your business geographically provides an accurate view of your market share, your competitive situation and uncovers business opportunities you might have overseen.
