Overview
CARTO is a software company focused on helping organisations use location data as part of everyday decision making. Its platform makes it easier to store, analyse and visualise geospatial information, so teams can answer practical questions such as where demand is changing, how long deliveries really take, which sites are underperforming, or how risk varies by area. In many businesses, location data sits in separate tools or specialist GIS workflows, which can make it hard for wider teams to access.
