Company mission
To spatially enable every data scientist, making them more productive and impactful within their companies.
Our take
Spatial analysis data is highly valuable to most industries, but making use of such data can be tough. If a business wants to make actionable insights based on this information, they generally must employ data scientists that specialize in location intelligence, a complicated role that is expensive to fund.
Carto provides a cloud-native location intelligence platform, facilitating the storage, enrichment, analysis, and visualization of spatial analysis data for businesses without the need to employ specialists. The company claims that its users can access 70% of location-related data that is currently not used to drive decision making, allowing them to gain an edge in a variety of markets including logistics, retail, fintech, and healthcare.
Carto has taken a unique approach by recognizing the complications that come with interpreting first-hand spatial data, making it simpler for data scientists to visualize data without having expertise in the subject area. The company provides subscription packages for individual freelance data scientists, in addition to for teams within enterprises.
