AcademicT is a global provider in location data, POI data, and corresponding compliance services. Our location data is gathered from a variety of mobile SDKs across the world, allowing you to perform location analytics and derive location-based intelligence.

 We conduct stringent evaluations on supplier feeds to ensure authenticity and quality. Our proprietary algorithms detect, and cleanse corrupted and duplicated data points – allowing you to leverage our datasets rapidly with minimal data processing or cleaning.

Our location data is processed through a deduplicating algorithm that focuses on a combination of four important attributes: Device ID, Latitude, Longitude, and Timestamp. This algorithm scours our data and identifies rows that contain the same combination of these four attributes. Post-identification, it retains a single copy and eliminates duplicate values to ensure our customers only pay for complete and unique datasets.

We actively identify overlapping values at the supply level to determine the value each supplier offers. Our data science team has developed a sophisticated overlap analysis model that helps us maintain a high-quality data feed by qualifying suppliers based on unique data values rather than volumes alone – measures that provide significant benefits to our buyers.

Through our in-house data science team, we offer sophisticated technical documentation, location data algorithms, and queries that help data buyers get a head start on their analysis.

Our algorithm weeds out events that occurred seven days before the data is received (unless historical data is requested). By filtering these outdated events, we ensure that the data we deliver to our customers is recent and relevant. Reducing latency also decreases file sizes, which results in more efficient data delivery.
