The Challenge

Driving Local Business Growth Without Business Visibility

Economic development staff are tasked with supporting entrepreneurs, attracting investment, and strengthening the business landscape. But most teams are held back by:

  • Incomplete or outdated business data
  • Disconnected systems across departments
  • Limited capacity for personalized outreach
  • Lack of visibility into business needs and performance
 
This makes it difficult to target support, measure impact, and proactively engage the businesses that need help most.
