What we do

N Space Labs, Inc. helps to solve the problem of information overload by providing innovative custom data mapping services that help organizations analyze and distribute critical data quickly. Our services help to increase operational efficiency and optimize managerial decision-making.

N Space specializes in easy-to-use interfaces, sophisticated statistical analysis, high quality graphic outputs, large orders, and fast turnaround time. N Space helps managers make optimal decisions more efficiently through visual intuition.

N Space Labs has extensive experience working with Fortune 200 corporate clients on a long-term basis. From property site selection and regional financial performance analysis to voter analysis and land-use depiction, we provide turnkey solutions, including conceptual design of the desired visualization, data acquisition and preparation, and production of both static and interactive maps.

Our proprietary ADAM™ technology automates many of our data mapping and analysis techniques, allowing N Space to produce high-volume high-quality map analyses with unparalleled low cost and fast turnaround time. As a direct result, N Space is able to pass along significant cost savings to its clients relative to other mapping service providers.

Reality check? As a direct result of a $500 investment in N Space visualizations, one client altered a real estate purchase decision, saving an estimated $1.2M every year.

History

Doug Shore, CEO of N Space Labs, Inc. founded the company as an outgrowth of his combined experience designing high-speed microprocessors and working with building architecture. Recognizing the shortcomings of available data analysis tools, Mr. Shore developed a model for visualizing large data sets with widespread application across industry sectors. Mr. Shore partnered with Benson Chiles, the COO and Business Contact for this proposal, for business strategy and development assistance. Subsequently, N Space Labs entered the 2001 NYU Stern MBA Business Plan Competition with a plan for a data analysis tool for the financial services industry. The plan featured a prototype that depicted financial data (including stocks, bonds, commodities, and other financial data) in a "virtual geography" over time. Event judges, leaders from the investment community, selected the N Space Labs plan as the third place overall finisher.

The successful competition led to meetings with angel investors and venture capitalists. With the dot-com bust, however, N Space Labs chose to build the business without outside investors by focusing on consulting services and ongoing research and development. A partnership with the facilities consulting group from a large Chicago-based architecture firm and ongoing work on an enterprise-wide Geographic Information Systems (GIS) solution for Fortune 200 company (with a 25% industry market share), helped to establish N Space Labs as a successful small business with four employees and two marketable products. With the recent completion of a multi-user programming environment for the mass production of business data analysis maps, N Space Labs has liberated sufficient resources to be able to enter additional partnership arrangements with real estate consulting groups in need of GIS services. Concurrently, N Space Labs is developing cutting edge visualization tools that further automate and expedite the services provided, and make solutions more interactive and effective for clients.
