Use Cases
Who uses EcosAtlas
Different organizations need business data for different reasons. Here's how EcosAtlas serves each.
01
Economic Development
Economic Development Organizations, chambers of commerce, and workforce boards need to know what businesses operate in their region. Staff turnover means institutional knowledge disappears. EcosAtlas provides a persistent view with source links and freshness metadata.
Target users
- Economic Development Organizations
- Chambers of Commerce
- Workforce Boards
- State Associations
02
Procurement
Procurement teams need supplier data with provenance. Existing directories rely on self-reporting and go stale. EcosAtlas links sources and timestamps fields so freshness is visible.
Target users
- Procurement Teams
- Supply Chain Consultants
- MEPs
03
Career Services
Many roles don't appear on major job boards. Small and mid-size employers often post positions only on their own career pages. EcosAtlas surfaces these roles with source links and timestamps.
Target users
- University Career Services
- Community Colleges
- Workforce Development
