About Us
Moonshadow Mobile, Inc. is an Oregon-based Internet technology company owned by a small group of founders, investors and employees. Our mission is to improve the way people understand, visualize, analyze and work with big data.
Moonshadow’s founders, software engineers, database experts, sales and support staff are all dedicated to creating innovative technology – transformative software that breaks barriers and makes new things possible. In the pursuit of this vision we take bold steps and refuse to settle for “good” or “excellent.” Nothing short of “amazing” is acceptable.
Moonshadow works with large databases, from hundreds of thousands to billions of records. We visualize “big data” over interactive maps with cutting-edge analytics tools. Our intuitive user interfaces are built around familiar online maps environments, so it only takes minutes – not hours or days – to get up to speed. We make it easier to navigate, search, visualize and analyze data in practical ways on desktop, laptop and mobile platforms. All you need is a web browser and fast Internet connection. There is no need to download or install software.
Location-enabled data sets combined with powerful geospatial visualizations and analytics tools are defining the next wave in big data analysis. Geospatial visualization delivers fresh insights by allowing users to easily recognize key spatial relationships and correlations within large data sets. Visualizing those relationships provides a useful way of organizing big data and a more intuitive path to understanding what’s happening among the columns, rows and cells in the database.
Geospatial visualization unleashes the human brain’s remarkable abilities to process visual information and detect patterns and complex relationships buried within huge volumes of data. It unlocks fresh perspectives and insights that might otherwise remain hidden. As an essential part of business intelligence, data mapping and geospatial visualization of big data allows you to see concepts and results in more interesting and useful ways to make faster and better-informed strategic, managerial and operational decisions. Seeing is believing.
Whether you are dealing with real-time data, time-series data or static data, Moonshadow’s cutting-edge, patented database engines and geospatial visualization capabilities provide state-of-the-art solutions. We shrink the database footprint, deliver blazing-fast data access speeds and require fewer server resources to deliver immediate ROI for our clients.
Moonshadow developed our breakthrough patented Ephemeris® database engine for working with static location-based datasets such as registered voter files, census files, demographic and psychographic data.
We subsequently developed our patented DB4IoT™ database engine that was purpose-built for the Internet of Moving Things. DB4IoT has the potential to transform operations and optimizations for public transit agencies, inform short and long term transportation planning and transportation engineering efforts and unleash the potential of connected vehicle data.
DB4IoT can track and display the GPS location, vehicle health, diagnostic, and other sensor data, from tens of thousands of moving objects simultaneously over interactive maps. This provides the ability to track, monitor, and analyze transit data collected from moving objects – cars, trucks, buses, trains, shipments, people, and more. Visualize data over interactive maps in real time and play back historical transit data animations with analytics and dashboards.
We also specialize in mobile device solutions for the iOS and Android platforms for collecting data in the field which is then updated in real time in the master database. Hundreds of political campaigns and door-to-door sales reps use our award-winning Ground Game® mobile canvassing technology to go paperless – no more clipboards, no more paper and pens, instant data entry of survey responses from the field.
Moonshadow is headquartered in the heart of downtown Eugene, OR. Eugene is Oregon’s second largest city, with a vibrant Northwest atmosphere and an extremely well-educated populous of approximately 140,000. One-third of the city’s population has completed four or more years of college. Eugene is home to the University of Oregon and Lane Community College.
