The productive days of summer?
Many businesses think summer is the time to relax. It’s also a great time to gain a competitive advantage through location intelligence and data insights.
Your summer business strategy may consist of three (3) simple steps to gain that competitive edge:
- Look for easy access to data
- Ensure comprehensive data selection
- Better understand your risk
Look for Easy Access to GIS Data
When looking for risk related data:
- Confirm the data is available through a web service. This allows you to integrate information into your current platform such as the Purview AVM data and perils related data.
- Understand how to obtain the highest match rate between your database and data services. This helps to avoid ambiguous addressing through the use of a unique address identifier (UAID®).
Lenders using DMTI Spatial’s™ Location Hub® platform can search the national Purview web service using the UAID which is assigned to every address for Canada with roof-top precision.
