  • Manifold geospatial data from the building coordinates through street networks to administrative and postal boundaries (e.g. Digital Data Streets)
  • Socio-economic data matched to the various geographic levels, e.g. as a basis for geomarketing solutions like designing sales territories, site selection for franchise locations, in Germany and throughout the world
  • Traffic frequencies (FAW FREQUENZATLAS, PTV Validate) as well as data for logistics and fleet management solutions
  • Software and tools, e.g. for Geocoding (MapUse) and market research (TripTracer)
