In their own words
eSpatial
eSpatial turns location data from spreadsheets and CRM systems into interactive maps for analyzing business patterns and opportunities. Its mapping tools include heat maps, pin maps, filtering, distance measurement, and proximity or radius analysis. Teams can design territories around workload, travel time, revenue, or account count, model scenarios, and manage hierarchies. Route planning optimizes routes and schedules, and the company describes turn-by-turn mobile navigation. Data can be imported from Excel or CSV, and Salesforce integration is two-way; APIs support custom links to cloud ERP and business intelligence systems. eSpatial also offers iSMART, an on-premise server-based GIS accessed through a browser, with web and Java APIs. The company says it is ISO 27001:2022 certified and describes controls including firewalls, intrusion detection, and change management. Application data is stored in Virginia, with backups in California, and is not copied outside the USA. Live mapping-expert support is available by phone, chat, or screen-share. Mapping Pro costs $499 a year per user, with a three-user minimum. A seven-day trial is listed and there is no free plan.
StatSilk
StatSilk makes tools for building dashboards with interactive data visualizations and maps for web and desktop use. StatPlanet and StatTrends present data as maps, bar charts, line graphs, scatter plots, and bubble charts. StatPlanet Cloud imports spreadsheet data and supports SDMX connections to online databases, including OECD, UNESCO, and World Bank sources. Its dashboards can use movable, resizable panels, filters, embedded text or web pages, and interactive stories. The StatPlanet Cloud API can set dashboard parameters such as indicators, graph type, time, map areas, region, and data file. Data and maps can be hosted by StatSilk or self-hosted, including on a customer's server. StatSilk says information flows from its cloud or servers to the user's device and is not uploaded or otherwise recorded in the cloud. The service has a free plan; StatPlanet Cloud Non-commercial costs $495 a year and Commercial costs $595 a year, both for unlimited users. The maker is based in Sydney and was founded in 2011.
