Custom Geospatial Visualization
The client needed a public-facing global resource database and interactive ecosystem visualization to showcase category-wise battery and energy storage supply chain participants. The solution required dynamic filtering by industry type, category, and geography, while maintaining cost-effectiveness and scalability.
The Challenge
Visualize 1,000+ global data points across battery & energy storage supply chain
Enable dynamic filtering by industry type, category, and geography
Support ongoing member submissions with approval workflow
Avoid expensive recurring mapping license costs ($7K–$15K/year)
Maintain scalability without per-user or per-request costs
Provide public-facing, visitor-friendly experience
Cost Analysis: Why ArcGIS Tiles?
Brazen Group evaluated multiple mapping solutions before selecting a custom implementation using ArcGIS Tiles with Salesforce integration. Here's the cost comparison:
| Solution | Annual Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Google Maps | $7 per 1,000 requests | Unpredictable costs with scale |
Salesforce Maps | $75–$150/user/month | Expensive for public mapping |
ArcGIS Enterprise | ~$7,000/year | High recurring license fees |
