Welcome to Carpe Datum’s weekly newsletter, the Federal Data Prospector (Vol. 4, Issue 20) which happens to be the only publication of its kind dedicated exclusively to Data & Analytics companies who share our passion for serving the Public Sector. After another very hectic week with a number of interesting government solicitations focused on our favorite topics – Data and Data Analytical Tools – what has emerged is a fairly granular, but quite fascinated weekly topic … retail sales data analytics. We hope you enjoy!
Also, if you can, please take a moment to share our newsletter with anyone whom you think might find it useful and/or interesting - Click here to subscribe.
In other data news, on April 20th, GCN published an interesting article entitled, How one state measures post-pandemic recovery. In this article, Stephanie Kanowitz describes how economic leaders in New Jersey can now see indicators and contextualize metrics with a solution that combines government, geographic and third-party economic data into an interactive dashboard.
- “The state went live last month with Tyler Technologies’ Economic Intelligence solution, which combines consumer spending, mobility, and small-business data from aggregators such as SafeGraph and Affinity Solutions with existing data on permitting, business licensing, and property and sales tax revenue collection, for instance, in Tyler’s Data and Insights platform. To be useful, the data must be up-to-date and granular, meaning at the industry-sector level. ‘Are people in our community spending their money on retail? Are they spending it on health and fitness?’ said Saf Rabah, vice president of data solutions at Tyler.”
