Point-of-interest (POI) is defined as a physical entity (such as a business) in a geo location (point) which may be (of interest).

We strive to provide the most accurate, complete and up to date point of interest datasets for all countries of the world. The Australian POI Dataset is one of our worldwide POI datasets with over 98% coverage.

This is our process flow:

Our machine learning systems continuously crawl for new POI data
Our geoparsing and geocoding calculates their geo locations
Our categorization systems cleanup and standardize the datasets
Our data pipeline API publishes the datasets on our data store

POI Data is in a constant flux - especially so during times of drastic change such as the Covid-19 pandemic.

Every minute worldwide on an average day over 200 businesses will move, over 600 new businesses will open their doors and over 400 businesses will cease to exist.

In today's interconnected world, of the approximately 200 million POIs worldwide, over 94% have a public online presence. As a new POI comes into existence its information will appear very quickly in location based social networks (LBSNs), other social media, pictures, websites, blogs, press releases. Soon after that, our state-of-the-art POI Information retrieval system will pick it up.

We offer our customers perpetual data licenses for any dataset representing this ever changing information, downloaded at any given point in time. This makes our company's licensing model unique in the current Data as a Service - DaaS Industry. Our customers don't have to delete our data after the expiration of a certain "Term", regardless of whether the data was purchased as a one time snapshot, or via a recurring payment plan on our data update pipeline.

The main differentiators between us vs the competition are our flexible licensing terms and our data freshness.
