Maptitude is committed to helping companies like Carl's Jr. and Hardee's, Xerox, and Wayfair leverage a geographic Information system (GIS) so they can thrive in this new era of location awareness. That doesn’t mean replicating existing workflows - it means fundamentally reshaping how data gets analyzed and shared.
While legacy GIS software and opensource providers may offer complex and/or costly solutions, whether in ongoing costs or in fees to acquire critical data and services, those products often lead to siloed information access controlled by those requiring training to even use such applications. Seamless map integration and collaboration may then prove unattainable, and the burden on IT administrators can increase exponentially. Enter Maptitude.
Maptitude has become a critical tool for companies like Paccar, Ameriprise, and PPG Industries for analyzing business data. Maptitude is used to perform tasks such as plotting existing and potential sales volumes, locating new stores, optimizing existing market footprints, and quantifying local market opportunities. The Maptitude product suite has over 20,000 users, including 70% of Fortune 50 companies, demonstrating its widespread applicability and utility.

With recent enhancements to Maptitude Online, Maptitude customers can share map-based analytics with anyone in their organization, regardless of whether they’re already Maptitude customers. This allows you to publish any map or report within your account - without asking them to become paid Maptitude subscribers themselves. What’s more, unlimited users can share a map. And when it comes to the number of maps you and your team can create, you never have to worry about a cap. You can create as many or as few as you need within your storage and monthly usage limits.

“We've been using Maptitude for more than 20 years. It is by far 'the best bang for the buck' in GIS software. I can't believe the amount of demographic data that comes with the product. The sophistication is incredible, but the software is relatively simple to use. We've been using Maptitude to map our CRA Assessment Areas for banks. We also use it for branch impact studies (required by regulators). When we started using drive-time rings to determine the practical service area of bank branches the regulators were really impressed.”
