18th September 2024: Denver, CO / Berlin, Germany

‍

Placekey, provider of an API service generating unique IDs for places, has partnered with Datarade, the global data discovery platform. The partnership between the two companies will enable developers and data analysts to more easily merge and deduplicate places data from multiple source, and data providers to share geospatial datasets across organizations securely.

‍

Placekey is an API service that allows users to generate unique IDs for addresses and POIs, even if the data contains typos and other discrepancies. This makes it easy to merge and deduplicate datasets from multiple sources, a task that is normally extremely time-consuming and requires a custom solution. Placekey covers all of the US and Canada, serving clients including Fundrise, Realty.com, Pepsico, Molson Coors, and many others. Two major industries for Placekey are real estate and consumer packaged goods. Real estate clients often use Placekey to merge multiple sets of MLS (Multiple Listing Service) data and generate insights. Placekey’s consumer packaged goods clients use the API service to manage sales data from different points of sale. In both cases, the data consolidation provided by Placekey is critical in allowing clients to quickly generate insights from their data.

‍Datarade is the premier service for connecting people with the right data products for their needs. At Placekey, we feel we’ve built an, easy-to-use API that can be invaluable to almost anyone working with location data. We see Datarade as the best platform for getting that product into the hands of the users who could benefit from it most.
