ThinkData Works, Inc. (ThinkData), a data catalog provider, has announced a partnership with SafeGraph. Through this partnership, SafeGraph will make their POI, building footprint, and store visitor insights data for non-residential places available to ThinkData’s network.
SafeGraph is the source of truth for data about a physical place. With over 7 million POIs listed in their database, SafeGraph provides instant ground-level insight into non-residential places in the USA and Canada. Places data from the top 5500+ brands are provided in the database, including attributes such as business category, open hours, visit count, and popular times.
As of February 1st, SafeGraph is providing a sample of their Canada Points of Interest data for free. Comprising many of the most used attributes in SafeGraph’s Canada Places dataset, this sample lets users leverage POI data with less commitment and is now available through the Namara Marketplace. Sheldon Trotman, Product Lead at SafeGraph, says the company is “looking forward to seeing the innovation that will come with giving away some of our attributes for free” as more users are interested in Canadian points of interest.
