Our Strength
FORMATION uses a data driven approach for its own projects and products. We strongly believe in setting concrete and measurable goals for our company and then automating the process of monitoring relevant key performance indicators. Location intelligence is a key value we sell to our customers but also key to measuring our own performance.

We also have a data science and data engineering team and can help you to make sense of your (location) data.
