Location intelligence platform CARTO helps companies use location data to drive business decisions. Using CARTO software cities see the impact of a subway shutdown, sales teams build optimized territories, insurers estimate damages from tropical storms, and now CARTO users have a new, cutting-edge mapstack at their disposal.
CARTO is switching to Mapbox to power a whole new class of location data analysis offerings to their customers. Mapbox enables CARTO customers to visualize big data at 60 frames per second in the browser. They’re leveraging our geocoding for location search and analytics, as well as our routing for analytics like isochrones so customers can analyze geospatial data and understand the impact of location on business outcomes.
Adding the Mapbox mapping platform makes CARTO even more competitive to legacy GIS solutions. CARTO’s CEO, Javier de la Torre, explains:
“CARTO and Mapbox are the new GIS tech stack. We’re both betting on open data, open source code, and a race to the top for flexibility and functionality. With our move to Mapbox, we don’t have to worry about scale. We’re building a powerful location intelligence stack to enable new data streams, new methods, and new applications that will broaden support for users previously unable to incorporate location data directly into their workflows. CARTO users will also benefit from Mapbox’s high-resolution satellite imagery and powerful performance, rendering map data at video-game speeds.”
