How Fused Powers BlackPrint’s Acquisition Intelligence Platform
TL;DR BlackPrint streamlines and transforms fragmented real estate data into actionable insights across Latin America.
BlackPrint Technologies began its journey as a satellite mapping service designed to help municipalities modernize their property registries. Recognizing a greater opportunity, we transitioned into the private sector to address a significant gap in the commercial real estate market: the need for accessible, actionable data. Today, our platform empowers professionals with precise acquisition intelligence, transforming how decisions are made across Mexico and, soon, all of Latin America.
In this blog post, we will explore how BlackPrint built the backend of its intelligence platform with Fused to provide a comprehensive view of the commercial real estate market in Mexico.
The Problem: Challenges in Real Estate Data
Real estate professionals face fragmented data sources and manual processes. This complexity limits access to critical metrics such as zoning regulations, demographic patterns, and traffic trends, making site selection decisions both high-stakes and prone to errors. BlackPrint recognized this challenge and set out to create an all-in-one platform, transforming disjointed data into actionable intelligence to empower professionals across the commercial real estate landscape in Latin America. Our Solution: The BlackPrint Approach
BlackPrint's platform offers a comprehensive suite of tools and insights, including property and zoning data, demographic and socioeconomic analytics, and detailed foot and vehicle traffic analysis. Underpinning this solution is a staggering volume of geospatial data sourced from diverse datasets such as cadastral records, demographic studies, and traffic sensors. This vast amount of information is meticulously analyzed to deliver actionable insights, all while being presented through an intuitive and user-friendly interface. By simplifying complex data into accessible formats, BlackPrint empowers users—regardless of their technical expertise—to navigate and leverage insights with ease. Building such a robust platform required not only expertise but also the right tools. That's where Fused came in.
Leveraging Fused: A Partnership for Efficiency
Fused became an indispensable partner in turning our vision for BlackPrint into reality. Its end-to-end cloud platform allowed us to move from concept to MVP significantly faster by simplifying our data processing and data delivery workflows. Before using Fused, we faced daunting challenges, such as processing and visually inspecting terabytes of traffic data and massive datasets from the Overture Maps Foundation for points of interest.
These tasks, which previously required extensive time and resources, became streamlined and efficient with Fused. Its ability to process geospatial datasets via HTTP-accessible Python functions made the development process seamless, enabling us to focus on creating an intuitive, high-performance platform. With Fused, we could deliver real-time insights and user-friendly visualizations at a scale that was unimaginable only a few years ago.
Empowering Professionals with Unprecedented Insights
BlackPrint's platform is transforming real estate decision-making by delivering unprecedented insights to professionals. For example, a retailer in Mexico City utilized our tools to identify a high-traffic site with optimal customer reach, saving weeks of manual analysis and significantly improving accuracy.
Our platform's effectiveness is measured through key metrics like time saved, improved precision, and enhanced ROI for our clients. Users have reported up to a 30% increase in efficiency when planning site expansions or evaluating investments.
Looking ahead, BlackPrint's vision extends beyond Mexico, aiming to revolutionize acquisition intelligence across Latin America. With partners like Fused, we continue to innovate, making geospatial analytics scalable, intuitive, and accessible to professionals at every level.
