How HERE Platform Can Transform Your Location Data
Blog|by Gabrielle Alvear|28 August 2024

What to expect from HERE Platform
HERE Technologies Platform is a cloud-based environment that provides developers with a one-stop location shop for data exchange, visualisation, and solution development. The platform offers a range of features and capabilities to developers, including:
- Agility and scalability: Developers can improve their agility and scalability through easy access to location data and algorithms from a network of providers
- Global applicability: Developers can keep their total cost of ownership (TCO) down by building once and then operating at scale with a global footprint
- High-quality data: Developers can utilise enterprise-grade data with a single global schema, consistent tile structure, and topology-attribution model
The HERE platform consists of three main components: Data, Workspace, and Marketplace. The Data component provides static data in HD/SD and dynamic location data that's feature-rich, regularly refreshed, and covers the world. The Workspace component is a single build environment for end-to-end development, deployment, life-cycle management, and distribution of dynamic enhanced data sets. The Marketplace component is a secure, neutral, and scalable marketplace where developers can simplify their location-centric data exchange.
Say goodbye to data silos. Rich location data and services all in one place

Building your apps on the newly improved HERE Platform allows you to take advantage of numerous benefits such as:
- Better team collaboration with the Access Manager for easier resource sharing across your organisation
- Monitoring usage for the whole team in a single view with the HERE platform Usage Manager
- Receiving technical support from HERE platform experts when subscribed to a support plan
- Using your data in advanced processing features on the HERE platform
- Enhancing data using HERE data provided as part of the HERE Base Plan
- Advanced access management with HERE platform projects
Developers can also access high-quality location APIs and SDKs from HERE Technologies, including documentation, code samples, and developer support. The HERE SDK enables developers to deliver more advantages for their location-based apps, enhance their in-app navigation and routing, and create intelligent navigation and routing solutions to move people and goods more efficiently.
As you can see, HERE Platform allows developers to access data on demand, process and analyse at scale, and is fully customisable to your project needs. With access to high-quality location APIs and SDKs from HERE Technologies, you can enhance your location-based apps to create more intelligent geospatial solutions.
