Successful
Pivot to ESG
In 2019 and 2020, we went to market with an ESG-focused transition product, MetalSignals. In 2021, we expanded ESGSignals from 2 to 50+ geospatial data sources and created ~50 environmental and physical risk metrics per asset.

Environmental, Climate & Physical Risk metrics
We expanded ESGSignals from 2 to 100+ geo-spatial data sources and created ~50 environmental, climate and physical risk metrics per asset
Global Distribution
Open up Reference Design to 1000s of data providers who want to leverage AssetTracker to generate ESG, Climate, Physical risk insights and sell through RS Metrics.
Accessible to ALL on Usage-based model
Usage based access and pricing and billing for AssetTracker and ESGSignals products to customers globally. We anticipate 1000s of ESG data providers, researchers, consultants, audit, assurance will be using the data.
Where it all started
Our first big project where we measured the traffic to parking lots at leading locations
In 2010, TrafficSignals enabled the tracking of retail traffic data and signals for retail and restaurant chains
It was a natural evolution as we expanded from understanding retail traffic dynamics to expanding to commercial real estate as a whole.
In 2011, through CRE Trends we identified trends and signals for commercial real estate properties such as retail office, industrial spaces.
To better understand operations and production for global factories and distribution centers was the next step
In 2012, we established Factory Signals which monitored trends and signals across production, raw materials usage and employment for global factories and Distribution Centers
For the metals, mining and related trading it was imperative to consider trends and signals the key metals and coal production.
In 2017, we pioneered one of our key legacy products MetalSignals which observed trends and signals for zinc, aluminum, copper, iron ore, bauxite, coal and steel at 500+ global smelters, terminals and storage sites
Achieving real time monitoring across industries was a key concern for many stakeholders whether it be for investment or supply chain management purposes.
In 2019, GREAT established the comprehensive and active tracking of mines, smelters, factories leading to intelligent management of supply chain risks combined with PAAS
Our product journey culminated into the development of our flagship ESG and environmental, climate and physical risk data and metrics product
In 2019, ESGSignals was the culmination of our product development and journey to address fundamental gaps in the ESG and Sustainability domain for objective, verifiable and independent data and metrics
