Established in 1994 by Directors Geoff Beacon, John Dodsworth and Simon Perry, Beacon Dodsworth provides geographical information system (GIS) mapping software and marketing technology to clients in a wide range of industries.
Our clients rely upon our knowledge, expertise and after-sales support to accomplish their marketing and planning tasks through our desktop and web-based applications and our bureau and consultancy service.
Our expertise
Our mapping software, Prospex, was one of the first market analysis GIS’ in the country. It is used by a wide range of commercial and public sector organisations across the UK to find more customers, plan media campaigns, schedule deliveries, enhance call centre response and much more.
Our online mapping system, MapVision, easily embeds into clients’ websites providing interactive maps enabling users to quickly identify and understand their chosen area. MapVision is currently used on the JICREG, RAJAR and RAB websites.
Our products are continually developed in response to users' feedback and the ever-changing world of the consumer. Our clients always have up-to-date data and the most sophisticated software to achieve their marketing and planning tasks.
How we can help you
Our range of products meets most people’s requirements. However, if you don’t want a full software package, or you have specific requirements, our consultancy can tailor software, data and analysis, or produce bespoke mapping to fulfil your brief.
We also resell mapping data from NAVTEQ, Ordnance Survey and Collins Bartholomew, postcode data, demographic data from the Census 2001 and Target Group Index (TGI) data on consumer insights, which can be analysed using our geodemographic classification P² People & Places.
For further details on any of our products or services and how they can be used within your business, please explore the website further or contact us.
