SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., May 28, 2020 — OmniSci announces partnerships with SafeGraph, a provider of point of interest (POI) data, and Veraset, a provider of population movement data, in a combined solution that gives users unparalleled insight into population movement at millions of public and commercial locations.

OmniSci’s platform, capable of interrogating and graphically representing billions of rows of data in milliseconds, is a powerful analytics vehicle for the data from SafeGraph and Veraset. SafeGraph is considered the leading source of truth for POI data, business listings, and visitor foot-traffic insights.

Veraset maintains the leading population movement dataset, trusted by data science teams seeking to understand how people move across cities and countries. Veraset offers granular population movement data and unaggregated visitation data.

Together the companies offer a massive array of location-based data relied upon by marketers, retailers, consultants, urban planners, advertisers, investors, and more.
