CARTO is the world’s leading cloud native Location Intelligence platform, transforming location data into strategic business insights. Whether it's creating more efficient pricing models, enhancing risk analysis, implementing network optimization, or evaluating antenna cannibalization, CARTO empowers organizations with spatial analysis.
Everything happens somewhere, but visualizing data to see where things are isn’t the same as understanding why they happen there. CARTO provides Data Scientists, Developers, and Analysts with the tools they need to optimize business processes, and predict future outcomes through the power of Spatial Data Science.
80% of data generated has a location component, yet only 10% of spatial data is actually used by organizations.
Historically, spatial analysis has been complex and siloed, restricted to a niche group of GIS experts. However, as the field of Data Science grows and businesses strive to become spatially aware, the demand for accessible Spatial Data Science is increasing. CARTO aims to bridge this gap by enabling every Data Scientist to leverage spatial analysis, enhancing their productivity and impact.
Backed by leading VC firms like Insight Partners, Accel Partners, Salesforce Ventures, Kibo Ventures and Earlybird Ventures, CARTO was founded in 2012 by an environmental scientist and visualization experts.
CARTO has regularly been recognized by Gartner and Forrester for its innovation in the Location Intelligence space.
