Our Site Selector was featured as a success story by technology partner, VertiGIS - highlighting how we help companies find the best location in Georgia based on their specific needs. ?? “What’s really appealed to us is the idea of an “easy button”—essentially partnering with VertiGIS to quickly improve our existing GIS platform. Rather than a one-size-fits-all solution that didn’t allow us to fully leverage internal knowledge and expertise, we wanted to develop our own tools, and create additional features, functions, and reports that better meet the unique needs of our partners and end users,” Jeff DeWitt. ??
