Who We Are

For the last 18 years, we've been on a mission to make location technology accessible and easy to use. We've now successfully embedded our location intelligence platform into the everyday workflows of over 350,000 users in North America. Our impact now includes over half the U.S. population every day. In 2019, DMP was acquired by LightBox.

Why Location Intelligence?

We created Digital Map Products with a very specific purpose. Back in the mid-1990s, our founders saw the incredible potential of an emerging technology focused on location. This new technology had a lot of different names including geographic information systems, GIS, spatial technology, location technology and more. However, what was obvious to everyone was that while the technology had incredible potential and had already demonstrated great value on a limited scale, it was also complex and very expensive, available only to those with deep pockets and specialized technical expertise.

Our company was created to deliver location intelligence and confident decision making to our customers. We do this by making this technology easy to implement, embedding it into the day-to-day workflow. By doing so, we could deliver location technology to a much broader audience. 20+ years later, our technology benefits over half of the U.S. population every day. In 2019, DMP was acquired by LightBox, a new operating company formed to forever change the way decision-making happens in real estate.

Our Mission Statement

“To embed the power of location technology into the workflows of every business and government entity in North America.”
