SHAPE Plus – for the private sector

Data mapping and analysis is critical to organisational strategy. But often, data is in disparate sources, making timely, data driven decisions difficult. SHAPE combines and overlays hundreds of datasets from over 40 sources in an easy-to-use, geospatial mapping system.

With increasing demand in how the platform can be utilised to support data driven decision making, we’re introducing a new subscription service called SHAPE Plus, an interactive mapping and analysis application for the private sector.
