Data Duopoly
Data Duopoly liberates the location data that currently sits with the tech giants, like Google and Apple, who create our smartphones, and share this data with the "change-makers" who design spaces (town planners, shopping centre landlords and the construction sector) to drive operational efficiencies and evidence-based investment..
We help businesses maximize their potential by using data insights to drive innovation, improve decision-making, and enhance the customer experience. Whether you're looking to improve your strategy, optimize operations, or gain a competitive edge, we remove the blockers that stop you from using great data to run your business, freeing you up to succeed!
