Working with spatial data
- Finding the location data I need can take weeks as there are too many providers offering similar data and it’s difficult to assess quality
- Licensing can also be a long and tedious process: I’ll have to negotiate terms with every single data provider
- Enriching my data will be hard as I’ll need to deal with different formats and support geographies
How CARTO can help
- Simple access to public and premium data from vetted sources
- Faster licensing process thanks to existing agreements with leading data providers
- Easy enrichment with data already presented in standardized formats
How can you access our data?
Data Scientists & Analysts typically only spend 20% of their time analyzing. Datasets listed in the spatial data catalog are available through the Data Observatory, a spatial data platform that enables them to stop wasting time on “data admin”.
Take away the pain of discovery, evaluation & ETLing & ensure you’re maximizing the time spent on the models that answer your most pressing business questions.
