Figure – Verto’s behavioral panel gives information on US commercial visits in the physical world for the purposes of advanced market research and media measurement.

Through this partnership, Verto is positioned to gain a competitive edge with improved accuracy and scope of their location data. Verto’s new solutions in this area are the first panel-based and opt-in based framework that assesses how people move around in the offline world around the clock, while being able to connect that information to insights/metrics around online usage. Further, the insights that can be derived from footfall patterns will provide a more comprehensive view of human mobility and contextualization of mobile and PC device usage across apps, web sites, e-commerce, shopping journeys, streaming media usage etc. Through this process, Verto’s data will more accurately reflect the depth of insights on consumer behavior by tying online behavior of offline actions, which will further solidify them as the trusted provider for cross-device behavioral information.

“We have a lot of passive location data collected with high cadence that we wanted to leverage to understand consumer behavior at a deeper level, so we searched for a company that has the expertise and experience to interpret all of this information,” says Dr. Hannu Verkasalo, Verto Analytics’ Founder and CEO. “Unacast is a pioneer in the location data space, and after testing the accuracy and quality of their data and the transparent insights they provided, we knew we had found the right fit – a data partner who can keep up with Verto’s evolving business challenges, and be able to expand from high level home/work/on-the move classification to detailed point of interest data to power stronger insights and newer capabilities in custom research and consumer journey analytics .

Turbine is Unacast’s platform for advanced data filtering and clustering. It enables clients to understand device activity and context for mobility patterns. This data is coupled with other signals to provide a transparent and complete picture of real world behavior while maintaining user privacy.

“We see a lot of companies who sit on petabytes of 1st party location, GPS, WiFi and cell tower data, but are not doing anything meaningful with it – that’s a lost opportunity to extract potential value and insights,” says Thomas Walle, CEO and Co-Founder at Unacast. “We built Turbine to allow companies to leverage the Unacast technology to provide them with location data insights. We are pleased to announce that one of the best known panel-based research companies, Verto Analytics, has started using our product as part of their research work!”
