Pitney Bowes MapInfo Integrates Household Geodemographics with The
Gadberry Group’s MicroBuild®
Data, Providing Timely, Reliable Market Analytics
TROY, N.Y.–(EMWNews)–Pitney Bowes MapInfo, the leading global provider of location
intelligence, today introduced GroundView™
data, a joint demographic data offering with The Gadberry Group, a
provider of location-based services and information data products.
GroundView delivers the most recent household and population counts
available for the U.S., providing organizations in a range of industries
including retail, restaurant, financial services, insurance and media
with current, consistent data to support critical business decision
making.
“Whether you’re a quick service restaurant chain or big box retailer,
making successful business decisions requires having a clear
understanding of your target customers, where and how they live and what
their needs and desires are,” says Dr. Wayne Lee, chair in finance and
executive director, University of Arkansas, Walton College of Business.
“Having access to comprehensive, frequently updated household-specific
demographic data is crucial to staying ahead in today’s competitive
environment.”
GroundView integrates Pitney Bowes MapInfo’s
next generation demographics with Gadberry’s
patent-pending MicroBuild® household
geodemographic data, bringing a new level of reliability and timeliness
to market analysis and decision making. In the past, organizations
relied on estimates and projections based on U.S. Census Bureau data—which
is only updated every ten years. GroundView’s
quarterly updates provide companies with the most recent U.S. household
and population counts available enabling them to make more confident
decisions regarding site selection, marketing, distribution, product
development and other key business areas.
“Current economic trends are introducing
substantial challenges for businesses, especially around rapidly
changing markets,” said Mike Hickey,
president, Pitney Bowes Software. “By
providing access to more accurate household and population data,
GroundView helps companies be more location intelligent and gain a
better understanding of a specific geography’s
potential, enabling them to answer valuable questions, such as where to
open a new store, what products to stock on their shelves or whether or
not to consolidate current stores based on declining population.”
