Software engineers at Gridics solve complex challenges surrounding real estate analysis, visualization and prediction at scale. Leading municipal planning and zoning teams deploy Gridics to better serve their community members, while real estate brokers, investors and thought leaders leverage Gridics to aid in site selection and scenario planning.
