"As the leading provider of commercial real estate information and services, we are constantly searching for new ways to improve our services and provide additional value to our customers," stated CoStar's Vice President of Development, Bob Evatt. "Mass transit is an integral part of urban life and heavily influences people's daily routines. A business's proximity to mass transit nodes can have a significant impact on customer traffic, as well as recruiting future employees. We believe that Mapfluence provides an effective way to utilize UMI's highly detailed mass transit database, enabling us to easily display rail lines and stations in conjunction with the properties in our database. This equips our subscribers with more relevant information to find properties that suit their needs. Customer response to the new features has been overwhelmingly positive."
"Our platform was designed with the novice user in mind -- you no longer need to be a GIS expert to intelligently query your data. Mapfluence minimizes the time and energy spent by organizations on sourcing and building out their infrastructure, enabling them to focus on data analysis," stated Ian White, CEO of Urban Mapping. "While we continue to focus on sourcing high-quality proprietary datasets, customers like CoStar recognize the value of on-demand data services that can be provided with our Mapfluence mapping platform. We intend to continue to cull and normalize data from proprietary and public sources to make valuable data accessible to a wide range of industries through our platform."
