EconoVue™EconoVue™
EconoVue offers better insight to drive better decisions. Users rely on complete, timely, accurate business, employment, and industry information. EconoVue delivers the best commercially available business information, augmented by other data sources, through an intuitive platform designed specifically for its intended users. Having more and better data at your fingertips in an intuitive platform that lets you ask, change and refine data questions makes you more informed, focused, and effective in your programmatic efforts.
We offer a data reservoir that is deep and wide. Through our partnership with Dun & Bradstreet, EconoVue provides site-level information on over 17 million U.S. business locations, including standard identity and demographic information around size, location and operations. EconoVue also provides specialty business data including business health and change dynamics data, executive contact details, custom geo-data, jobs, labor and occupation data, and time-series trend data in key dimensions. For a more detailed list of all available data, please contact us directly for more info.
Great question and we like how you’re thinking! EconoVue costs more than a loaf of bread but less than an airplane. EconoVue licenses first consider geo or economic footprint as tight as a city or local planning region or as broadly as an entire state. The scope of geo coverage, data, and user distribution influence costs, so we can’t answer that here. However, that’s a conversation we’d love to have, so please contact us directly for more info.
Most agencies can benefit from EconoVue. Users can gain better insight and analytical intelligence around their economy, businesses, industries, and employment data. Our primary users are government agencies whose primary mission involves business engagement: Workforce Development, Economic Development, Transportation Planners, and Disaster Planning/Emergency Response agencies. Consultants, non-profits, educational institutions, and economic researchers also use the data available in EconoVue.

EconoVue’s uniqueness lies in three interconnected factors: 1. EconoVue provides access to a comprehensive multi-sourced business database available nowhere else. 2. The EconoVue platform is “designed with intent”: built for the specific needs of specific users with specific public-sector agency responsibilities. 3. EconoVue is agile. Data without utility is just a massive spreadsheet. EconoVue brings data utility to users’ fingers in seconds, intuitively guiding users’ questions and delivering answers.
The EconoVue platform is modular yet complete: Purposefully designed with multiple focused apps to allow diverse research with variable granularity, EconoVue delivers unlimited access to all apps with each subscription. There are no “add-on” components with “add-on” costs. When you’re in EconoVue™, you’re all in.
OverVue™ provides a comprehensive lens: This interactive dashboard enables quick, agile manipulation of key data points (geo, industry, key sectors, and business health) to display snapshot analyses based on user criteria, then manipulate those variables to track changes over time and make data-driven projections. Dynamic, interconnected, interactive graphs show how local counties or workforce areas connect to the bigger picture within your state.
RegionVue™ links occupation and jobs data to time-series D&B employer data, aggregated by industry sector and geography. Animated bubble charts and graphs let users quickly assess critical occupations in emerging sectors, track sector-wide hiring trends and training needs, and evaluate salary and education zone data. Identifying occupations with higher salaries and lower entry barriers may affect hiring, workforce location, economic development opportunity, and commuter traffic demands.
ProspectVue™ is integrated with both OverVue and RegionVue, allowing users to go deep and specific into their targeted research. ProspectVue will enable users to dynamically adjust their research criteria using all of EconoVue’s core and specialty data to generate precisely focused outputs, including predictive indicators of future risk, stability, growth, or contraction. ProspectVue graphically displays the location and concentration of businesses and employment based on users’ live queries. ProspectVue can drive down to a single company and provide live access to expanded research reports from EconoVue and Dun & Bradstreet when your use case and data needs demand a specific targeted business or type.
LocalVue™ is a visual business mapping analytics tool that spatially displays employer and employment industry trends by multiple geographic boundaries. It dynamically generates current and time-series sector trend reports for any selected region. Data is presented in an interactive thematic mapping GUI that visually compares business and employment data across regions.
Yes. EconoVue enriches its business data with labor market resources, including the BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, which provides time-series salary data tied to NAICS codes, geography, and D&B-aggregated employment data. CareerOneStop.org adds location-based information on training providers, while Indeed.com provides current job listings by business, occupation, and region.
At EconoVue, data drives our own decisions as well. We conduct regular data quality checks, external research, and comparative analyses to ensure we provide the most complete and accurate data. We chose Dun & Bradstreet as our business data partner for its high data accuracy, completeness, and maintenance standards. We’re equally selective in our other data sources and feeds, public or private. For a more detailed discussion on data quality, please get in touch with us directly.
Access to EconoVue is on an annual or multi-year platform, with a data-use subscription. Individual user access is browser-based via ID and password.
Our company collects and provides data from multiple sources. Our core database of comprehensive and detailed business site data is refreshed each quarter with an updated feed from Dun & Bradstreet. We update additional data components on weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly schedules to keep our intelligence resource dynamic and current, so users can see their economic and business communities as they change.
Right behind the EconoVue™ platform itself, our Customer Education Team delivers outstanding service to users. New Customers receive dedicated onboarding training sessions, and additional follow-up groups or 1:1 training are available for new users (or users wanting a refresher). We deliver an ongoing curriculum of regularly scheduled live training and knowledge sessions for users each week. We also offer specialized sessions on new product enhancements, new data additions, user-driven best practices, and use-case sharing, facilitated by our Customer Education Team.
Definitely! EconoVue enables users to “thin the haystack.” We use our vast array of data options, selectors, and filters to query and refine searches and identify a precisely targeted set of businesses. Each EconoVue app lets users export those outputs to Excel files for further use, analysis, or integration with users’ internal datasets.
No, EconoVue does not have any integrated “connectors” to other platforms. However, EconoVue’s data export feature lets users extract their refined business lists. Customers can import them into other applications such as specialized mapping platforms, modeling applications, or CRM systems.
EconoVue provides a comprehensive platform, with all apps (interactive analysis dashboards, business and industry research apps, and jobs & employment data) available to all users. “Which app” depends on your project and your data needs for the day. Like changing lenses on a microscope, EconoVue users move fluidly across apps based on the breadth or precision of insight needed.
The Dun & Bradstreet business database is central to EconoVue’s business and employment data. We augment that business data with labor market resources and specialty data from state and federal sources such as DOL, ETA, FEMA, SBA, and state workforce agencies, as well as job data from CareerOneStop.org and Indeed.com. Please get in touch with us directly for a more detailed discussion of the data behind EconoVue.
Because EconoVue™ synthesizes large volumes of data, it provides a robust standard level of business information, including demographics, employment and industry, business health or risk indicators, corporate family data, diversity, geolocation info, and more. EconoVue also produces several standard reports for more detailed, content-specific views of individual businesses, such as our Business Disruption Report, Corporate Linkage Map, and Financial History Graph. EconoVue™ also connects directly to Dun & Bradstreet so that users can extract a live D&B Comprehensive Report on businesses.
EconoVue™ is your window to business and workforce insight.
Founded in Silicon Valley in 1999, and now based in Arlington, VA, EconoVue, 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 The Urban Explorer, Inc, 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.
