Off-the-shelf software

INRIX is a data company that builds custom services at a premium. Urban SDK provides a complete suite of tools, such as a Data Hub for storage and access, a GIS Studio that enables you to create custom maps, and automatic traffic insights displayed on roadways.

Better data analytics

INRIX provides a variety of data, but is limited by what users can upload onto the platform. Urban SDK provides analytics and is also data-agnostic. This bolsters reporting and eliminates any need for customized software or 3rd-party reporting tools.
