Our Services
- Custom Software Development
- GRI specializes in the development of web-based mapping software, including user-interface design, development of use cases and software specifications, database design, application development and coding, and final deployment. We can start the project from scratch, or we can customize our existing SimplyMap application to suit your needs and significantly reduce development time and expenses. Let us know what you need, and we can help scope out your project and propose an affordable solution.
- Business Research
- GRI helps our customers make intelligent business decisions using powerful research and analysis techniques, industry leading data, and the latest GIS technology. We can help your organization make informed choices that save valuable time, money, and resources.
- Geocoding
- Geocoding is the process of taking street addresses and identifying the latitude/longitude of each address. This is an extremely important process that can make or break the usefulness of the data being geocoded. GRI has geocoded millions of addresses, many from extremely disorganized or poorly designed data sets. We know how to get the most accurate results from your data, no matter the quantity or condition of the data.
- Custom Map Design
- The GRI team has an extensive amount of experience creating clean, legible, detailed thematic maps for presentations, reports, grant applications, business plans, and research projects. Our maps tell stories that help viewers understand the issues, challenges and solutions, and understand the interconnections between diverse types of data. Our passion is taking complex ideas and diverse data sets and creating elegant maps that effectively communicate in a visual and clear manner.
- Data Cleaning and Verification
- Complex data sets sometimes contain inaccuracies or inconsistent formatting that can make it nearly impossible to use. GRI has performed data cleansing services for a diverse range of clients, from multi-national corporations to government agencies and non-profit organizations. We have cleaned some of the most “dirty” data imaginable, and we are not intimidated by any data cleaning task, no matter how large. We can clean up data using automated solutions, or we can manually research the accuracy of data using the internet, phone verification, or comparisons with other data sources.
