Consumers need personalized services and hyper-local content, which is why location is such a valuable ingredient in the next generation of software and mobile applications. Location services — maps, navigation, search — are driving innovation across industries supporting real-time decision making, autonomous vehicles, and data visualization at a new scale.
After surveying the current state of location-based services, consulting firm Frost & Sullivan, has singled us out as a leader in the space. They reviewed key players in the industry, honoring us with the 2018 North American Location-based Services Enabling Technology Leadership Award 🏆.
Frost & Sullivan found that our platform enables new levels of location context for mobile and web users, and that because of our open-source approach, we’ve been able to tackle some of the key hurdles in the space.
Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to a company that has developed a pioneering technology that not only enhances current products but also enables new product and application developments. The award recognizes the high market acceptance potential of our platform. We’re thankful for the honor and humbled at the acknowledgment of our work.
Alongside the award, Frost & Sullivan created a full analyst report exploring how Mapbox fits into the greater location-based services community. View the full report on their website.
