Data Brokerage

Any dataset on your map.

Some data is hard to find, other data is hard to show on a map. We find suitable sources, turn the data into map layers and host the result, so your product shows it without new infrastructure.

What we help with

From the source to your map.

We are the middle layer between the data sources and the map in your product, and you can involve us at any step. Every project is bespoke and part of Maptoolkit Enterprise.

We help with What it means For example

Finding sources

You know what the map should show, but not where the data comes from: we find and assess suitable sources.

Terms and attribution

We help you read the usage terms in practice and show the credits a source requires.

Converted for the map

We convert and structure the data so it works well as a map layer.

Questions and answers

Questions about Data Brokerage.

Short answers on Maptoolkit Connectors, combining sources and plans.

How does Data Brokerage work with Maptoolkit Connectors?

They work hand in hand. With Data Brokerage, Maptoolkit helps you find suitable data sources, such as open government data or feeds from other platforms, and prepares the data for your map. A Maptoolkit Connector then serves it as a layer in your product, next to the data you already have. Both are part of Maptoolkit Enterprise.

Can you combine my own data with open data and other sources?

Yes. Your own files can sit next to open government data, OpenStreetMap places and feeds from other platforms. Maptoolkit can also combine official data from several sources into one dataset, for example road and cycling networks from different government portals merged into one map for planning tours. The combined result is served as one layer in your product.

Can I get Data Brokerage on a self-service plan?

No. Data Brokerage is only available with Maptoolkit Enterprise, not with the self-service plans. Every project is bespoke, so it is set up together with you. Enterprise has no request limit, so a busy map layer does not run into a monthly cap.
