Norbridge’s analytical strengths are matched by presentation and communication techniques that bring additional insight and value to our clients’ data. For example, we utilize innovative visualization tools that allow rapid screening of large databases, and user-friendly presentation of results.

Interactive web-based maps. Eighty percent of all data has a geographic component, and Norbridge has found that mapping geographic data provides compelling new insights beyond those derived from tabular and graphic displays. We’ve moved beyond static maps to interactive maps available on the Web, allowing client users to explore data on their own to find new patterns, relationships, and opportunities.

To provide a public example of this approach, Norbridge has partnered with Schedule Distribution Services (Skedz), a provider of intermodal transportation schedules and terminal information, to display available US schedules using an interactive web mapping tool.

To see the interactive features of the map, click on the link below, which will launch the map in a new window (you can resize the map by dragging the bottom right corner of the window). Follow the instructions at the top to view the fastest inbound and outbound intermodal schedules to and from metro areas with direct ramp service.
