The opportunity has arisen to purchase a successful business providing mapping services to their clients. They provide products and services where location is significant, using their own software developed in-house. The company was founded almost 30 years ago, developing one of the first Microsoft Windows desktop GIS (Geographical Information System) in the UK.

More recently, they have developed an online version of their GIS, as an add-on or replacement for the desktop. The online version has scope for additional modules and further development, and would benefit from stronger marketing.

The company has also developed its own geodemographics, using census and other data. This is competitively priced against the market leaders, and is used for customer segmentation, performance analysis and market prediction.
Experts in their field, they have created bespoke online services for private and public sector clients, including travel surveys and expense claim systems.

They also create and maintain other datasets – boundary data for the UK’s postcode system, a drivetime matrix and value-added location datasets based on Open Data. Much of the data is available through API subscription.

Industries that they have penetrated include business consultancy, estate agents, health, information technology, insurance, manufacturing, motor, media, public and private sectors and many more.
