MBI's global spatial data available in CARTO's Data Observatory
In today's rapidly changing economy being able to access and analyze global high-quality spatial data is fundamental to organizations using Location Intelligence. With thousands of organizations adapting to the impact of the "new normal" analysts in a wide range of industries need more data than ever to keep their finger on the pulse as consumer behavior evolves faster than ever before.
Whether it is for Site Consolidation in Retail Shopper Insights in CPG or Commercial Real Estate market analysis having the right spatial data for your use case is critical in order to build effective models.
A range of our enterprise clients are already taking advantage of our partnership with Michael Bauer International (MBI) to access their renowned high-quality data through our Data Observatory. This includes datasets such as:
- Sociodemographics

- Retail spending
With data available in more than 150 countries this is particularly relevant to organizations looking to use Location Intelligence in multiple areas in both developed and emerging markets. Here you can see an example of MBI's data visualized in CARTO:
The agreement also enables CARTO users to access digital boundaries for administrative census and postal regions which can be used for enrichment and to build visualizations that enable business leaders to make decisions at a more relevant granularity.
Our Head of Data Javier Perez Trufero reflected on this partnership:
The risks and financial repercussions of using bad data are not something that companies can afford in the current economic climate with many being faced with make or break decisions this year. Our clients trust us to ensure the Data Observatory has the highest-quality global and most accurate data possible - and Michael Bauer International's data provides that in abundance. We're excited to see how our customers continue to use our platform and data to continue supporting their most important decisions.
