Overview:

Counterpoint’s CORE (COmpetitive Ranking and Evaluation) is a comprehensive evaluation and comparison of the leading companies and their platform/product/service/solution capabilities, ecosystem and business success for an important technology area/vertical/offering. In this report, we evaluate the most active top 25+ companies globally offering location-centric offerings from maps to tools to services on 65+ criteria. 

• Location intelligence has become more important than ever with the proliferation of the internet, mobile devices, data-centric applications, urbanization, e-commerce and on-demand services.
• These location-centric solutions depend on map data to help in routing (from point A to point B) and geocoding (integrating points of Interest), enabling use cases such as search, discovery, positioning, tracking and mobility.
• This integration is currently possible by embedding different location APIs and data steams into millions of apps to build new, enhanced experiences and thereby monetization opportunities for developers.
• Considering the growing demand for location data and services as an API or data stream, map providers have been transforming their fragmented portfolio of offerings into a more cloud-centric location platform.
• The platform is now layered with location data, intelligence, analytics and tools to help enterprises fuse their telemetry data with location data to analyze, visualize and derive actionable insights.
• The platform approach will accelerate the digital transformation of enterprises and power next-generation mobility experiences as the data gets richer. These advanced use cases will stem from smart enterprises to smart cities to autonomous transport systems, enabling greater safety and newer business models and experiences.
• Further, adding rich location context to the plethora of connected things/assets will help better manage and shape newer processes with sensor intelligence.
