Redefining its category, the company has grown rapidly in recent years providing a compelling alternative to legacy GIS software.

CARTO has built the most advanced location intelligence platform providing Agentic GIS capabilities while running on top of the most used cloud data warehouses in the industry such as Google's BigQuery, Amazon Redshift, Snowflake, Databricks, and Oracle; thus, allowing our partners and customers to perform geospatial analysis directly where their data lives and opening limitless possibilities for their businesses.
