Yeme Tech’s Community Platform is a powerful application that utilizes spatially mapped Human, Asset, and Activity data to provide profound local insights into communities. By leveraging this information, Yeme Tech empowers developers, community stakeholders, and others to take action toward creating positive social impact through enhanced interaction, engagement, and cohesion. Yeme Tech’s platform not only provides valuable information about the places around us, but also facilitates new ideas to improve our communities.

Yeme Tech relies on having the most accurate geospatial data to support its platform’s functionality and users. Prior to using dataplor for its location intelligence needs, the company had relied on open-source data and Google Places for their Point Of Interest (POI) data. However, these sources proved unreliable and costly, making it difficult to analyze the data and grow the platform into new areas.

The Challenges with Google Places and Open-Sourced POI Data

Yeme Tech faced several challenges with the open-source data they were using previously. The data was unstructured, decentralized, and complicated, requiring a lot of legwork to compile and analyze. Additionally, there was a considerable margin of error associated with validation and replicability for other projects and locations. This made it nearly impossible for Yeme Tech to provide their customers with accurate analysis and develop its community enhancement platform.

Yeme Tech then turned to Google Places as an alternative data source. However, this approach was not scalable due to the very high and unpredictable costs. The updates provided by Google Places were not recurring which made it difficult to grow into new areas. This resulted in Yeme Tech spending a considerable amount of time scraping multiple sources and compiling data in a usable format.

dataplor’s expertise and support were one of the key factors in Yeme Tech’s decision to choose them as their data provider. dataplor’s proven strategies for collecting and verifying data gave Yeme Tech confidence that they could continue developing their community enhancement platform with reliable and up-to-date information.

“The partnership with dataplor equips our customers with the deepest, most accurate geospatial view of US markets available,”

said Calandra Cruickshank, founder and CEO of StateBook,  adding that StateBook also recently added real-time mobility insights from cell phones to its arsenal of data, along with risk, resilience, and impact data. StateBook’s customers span real estate investors and developers, Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, insurance companies, and other technology companies. 

“We’re excited to formally kick off our partnership with StateBook,” said Geoff Michener, dataplor CEO and co-founder. “POI data has never been more relevant to growth as businesses across verticals aim to identify the surest possible paths to expansion in a tough macroeconomic environment. With dataplor’s POI data and StateBook’s socioeconomic data insights, brick-and-mortar businesses will be able to confidently select the sites where they are most likely to grow.”

dataplor sets itself apart from other geospatial data companies through its exclusive focus on POI data and its industry-leading data verification process. Much location data is inaccurate, owing to poor open-source data verification methods and differing records across sources. dataplor employs machine learning to deduplicate records, AI call bots to confirm local business information, and local human experts to provide clarity in ambiguous cases. 

Over the past year, dataplor has grown to cover more than 100 million POIs in over 200 countries and territories. Its coverage of POIs in the US is second to none.

Empower Your Data-Driven Decisions with Accurate Location Intelligence at a Global Scale

Accurate and comprehensive POI data is essential for organizations seeking to expand their business operations in developing markets. This data allows businesses to make informed decisions about site selection, optimize their operations, tailor their marketing strategies to specific audiences, and identify opportunities for expansion in new markets.

Tracking places attributes such as the location, open close status, operating hours, classification, dwell times, and more, dataplor paints a picture of hyperlocal markets to reveal broader trends. POI data can uncover holes in local brick-and-mortar economies, highlighting regions where retailers or consumer packaged goods companies can increase sales and marketing efforts. POI data also reveals which chains and brands are growing or receding in certain areas, painting a clear picture of global competitive intelligence.

dataplor is putting businesses on the map in international markets and lighting the way for companies looking to establish themselves abroad. The world’s largest tech, CPG, and financial services companies rely on dataplor to understand global markets by processing comprehensive data, which leads to a better understanding of the target area and enables more effective market analysis.

Sustainable Expansion with Uncompromised Data Quality: dataplor’s Strategy for Continuous Growth

With its comprehensive coverage and meticulous upkeep, dataplor is set to continue growing while maintaining its position as the industry leader in POI data. The company plans to extend its coverage by 20% by the end of 2023, ensuring accuracy across all locations with the support of an expanding team. dataplor’s commitment to maintaining accurate information in diverse markets is evident in its success, with the world’s largest tech, consumer packaged goods, and financial services companies relying on its data for global growth strategies.

dataPlor will join hundreds of the world’s top CPG brands, retailers, and technology providers at the 2023 Shoptalk Conference in Las Vegas, NV. Shoptalk, which will be held at Mandalay Bay from March 26–29, brings more than 10,000 industry professionals together to build relationships and learn about the most exciting innovations in retail.

While e-commerce continues to thrive after its explosive growth during the pandemic, in-person retail is still more deeply ingrained in day-to-day consumer life. According to research compiled by Zippia, nearly 40% of consumers make at least one in-store purchase per week, compared to 27% who make an online purchase. 

As brick-and-mortar shopping continues to dominate, dataPlor enables brands and retailers to create geo-targeted advertising experiences; discover beneficial brand-retail partnerships; conduct regional, national, and international site selection research; and gather competitive intelligence through the power of location data. 

Location data provides insight into consumer behavior, points of interest (POI), and market competition that both brands and retailers need to make critical business decisions and design high-ROI advertising campaigns. From a smaller, regional company to a top 10 international brand, location data can help any CPG or retail business grow at scale by enhancing market research, advertising, and expansion strategy. 

An apparel retailer would need precise location data to grow abroad, for example. They’d need to know where customers, competitors, and other supply chain partners are—and to gain this knowledge, they’d need international data that is comprehensive, accurate, and up to date. 

In this example, dataPlor’s POI data can provide a clear picture of both the client and their competitors’ presence in international markets, help them identify new distribution channels, and enable them to allocate resources to gain market share and decrease waste.

dataPlor would love to meet with Shoptalk attendees who are curious about using location data to scale their retail operations. Stop by dataplor’s booth #1719, or pick a time that works best for you to meet with us at Shoptalk.
