Key Terms

4 terms

location intelligence technical

"consumer behavioral data and location intelligence leader"

Location intelligence is the use of geographic and place-based data—like customer addresses, store locations, foot traffic, and regional demographics—combined with maps to reveal patterns and trends. For investors, it helps predict where sales, costs, or risks are likely to rise or fall (think of it as a heat map that shows where a business is winning or struggling), informing decisions about store openings, supply chains, market expansion, and risk exposure.

digital out-of-home technical

"Built to serve digital out-of-home (DOOH) and out-of-home (OOH) media owners"

Digital out-of-home (DOOH) is advertising and information shown on electronic screens in public places—think digital billboards, screens in transit hubs, malls, and elevators—remotely updated and scheduled like online ads. Investors care because DOOH turns public foot traffic into measurable ad impressions and recurring revenue, with growth tied to data-driven targeting, audience patterns, and how easily networks can be scaled or monetized.

geospatial technology technical

"leverages advanced geospatial technology, location-based research, AI"

Tools and systems that collect, process and analyze location-based data about the Earth, including GPS, satellite and aerial imagery, remote sensing, mapping software and geographic information systems (GIS). Investors care because these technologies turn raw location data into practical insights—like maps, asset tracking, site selection and risk maps—helping companies and analysts measure physical exposure, optimize operations and make data-driven decisions tied to real-world locations.

third-party data technical

"AI and first- and third-party data to provide organizations"

Data collected and supplied by an independent organization that is not the company being reported on or its direct partner; examples include market benchmarks, customer counts, satellite measurements, survey results, or industry metrics purchased from specialist firms. Investors care because this outside information can validate or challenge a company’s claims, affect valuations and trading decisions, and carry risks around accuracy, methodology, licensing and potential bias—like trusting an independent weather app before planning a trip.
