What is Apogee Data Consulting?

Updated

Apogee Data Consulting is a UK-based geo-spatial data consultancy that turns location-based data into maps and analysis. Its three service areas are Geo-Spatial Analysis, Temporal Mapping, and Data management, and it works primarily with MapInfo as its GIS platform. If you have data with a location or time element and need it mapped, analysed, or cleaned up, this is the type of firm you would approach.

What Apogee actually does

The site describes the business as providing "spatial insight to your data," with the tagline "Spatial | Data | Analysis." Three service lines are presented:

Geo-Spatial Analysis

Examining the location and attributes of features in relation to other features using a Geographic Information System (GIS). In practice this means questions like "which sites are within X of Y" or "how do these areas compare on a given measure."

Temporal Mapping

Adding the "when" to a map, so change over time becomes visible. The site shows a time-series analysis of GCSE results data from Ofqual, produced in MapInfo Pro v2021, as an example of this kind of work.

Data

Managing and improving in-house data: updating databases, reducing errors, and adding value. Apogee works with Ordnance Survey, Royal Mail, and other providers to deliver a bespoke data service.

Tools and partnerships

Element Detail from the site
Preferred GIS MapInfo
Partnership Precisely partner
Data sources referenced Ordnance Survey, Royal Mail, Ofqual
Example output Time-series map of GCSE results (MapInfo Pro v2021)

The choice of MapInfo matters if you already run that stack, since outputs and workflows will align with what you have. If you use a different GIS, that is worth raising in an initial conversation.

Who this is for

  • Organisations with location-tagged data that is not yet being used for decisions.
  • Teams needing change-over-time views, not just static maps.
  • Businesses wanting their own address or reference data cleaned and enriched against OS or Royal Mail sources.

How to start

The site directs enquiries to a consultation rather than listing packages or prices. It states that Apogee aims to "find the right solution at the right price," but no pricing detail is published, so cost and scope have to be established directly. Contact the company to arrange a consultation and describe your data and the question you want answered.
