EconoVue empowers workforce boards with a comprehensive view of economic and industry trends in their regions, as well as employment, salaries and Business Failure Risk scores over time. Customizable search and filter abilities refine data results in real time and quickly pinpoint companies for strategic workforce engagement for programs such as Rapid Response, Layoff Aversion, Targeted Business Outreach and Strategic Planning. Today’s most successful workforce development agencies have evolved beyond traditional practices and strategies. Independently, and in sync with the goals of WIOA, workforce boards need more: more data, more information and more insight, especially about employers, industry health and trends, and an ability to predict the ebbs and flows of employer expansion and contraction before it occurs. This is why just relying on labor data falls short.
EconoVue enables proactive business outreach and engagement efforts aimed at key economic sectors with a nuanced NAICS cluster search, combined with business health, trend and forward-looking predictive indicators, and executive contact details on over 17 million U.S. business locations. Find, target and connect with businesses of every size, including the backbone of America: those small companies that may benefit from economic programs the most, and who make up more than 90% of the businesses in the country. The comprehensive business data platform built into EconoVue gives you access to business details about all businesses, including the hard-to-find information on the 1-10 employee companies.
EconoVue provides quarterly updates of map-based, location-specific business information, enabling transportation planners to query, interrogate, view and compare transportation-affecting geocoded data points from a business and employment perspective. Keeping pace with business change is difficult for transportation planners. Industries are transforming, physical workplaces are shrinking, remote work has emerged as a new normal, and commuter work patterns are less predictable. New events such as: COVID, natural disasters and ecological factors like climate change emphasize the need for current and dynamic geo-based information on businesses, employment, industries and locations by transportation planners trying to predict and prepare for “the next normal”.
The unique power of EconoVue is our ability to create, view, analyze and present sector and labor market data and trends driven by “raw” business and employer information at the site level.

EconoVue™ is your window to business and workforce insight. The Urban Explorer, Inc. is the company behind the insight.
Founded in Silicon Valley in 1999, and now based in Arlington, VA, The Urban Explorer, Inc. is a woman-owned small business with a single mission: to help our clients visualize data and gain actionable insight into the past, present and future of their local and regional economies and workforce.
Originally founded as a boutique consulting firm designing interactive GIS tools for economic development, land use planning and urban design, we heard a common theme from our customers: “Help us analyze today and help us predict tomorrow.” We found ourselves replicating the same steps of geospatial economic analysis studies, so rather than reinvent the wheel every time, we decided to invent it just once and automate the process via a single platform, and EconoVue™ was born.
The millions of businesses that comprise the U.S. economy and workforce are constantly in motion. Our agile approach to solution design is highly collaborative with the “end-user”, constantly evolving to meet the growing needs and creativity of our clients as they try to extract insight from data chaos.
Working with our data partners, public sources and our great collaborative clients, we continue to expand EconoVue™ to meet new needs, including Economic Development, Transportation and Custom Analysis. Our design philosophy is to produce innovative, actionable data insight tools, in a modular application platform that is iterative and easily adaptive to meet the ever-changing information needs of our clients.
