## About Urban SDK
Urban SDK is geospatial data analytics platform. Our software acts as a system of record for Local Government infrastructure operations, planning and development. Identify, analyze and maintain regulated processes with big data analytics. Our geospatial data index monitors critical assets and processes to replace manual data collection, analysis errors and staff inefficiencies. Our mission is to give customers the ability to quickly identify issues serious enough to warrant spending time, money, and staff resources it takes to collect additional data. This enables cities to automate data collection, analysis, and estimate improvement costs on all local roads. Cities can save more than $200,000 per year by modernizing traffic data collection and reducing administrative burden with our smart traffic management software, all by prioritizing where they do data collection, cutting back on the amount of time spent on processing invalid complaints, and focusing on roadways where they know there is a problem.

**What do you like best about Urban SDK?**

One of the most significant advantages of urbanSDK is its ability to streamline data collection processes through automation of GPS units. Instead of relying on manual counting or outsourcing to physical traffic counters, which can be both labor-intensive and expensive, the City of Woodstock has turned to urbanSDK to gather accurate and reliable traffic speed data efficiently.

**What do you dislike about Urban SDK?**

The earlier version took some practice and training, however the process has definetly been simplified. The team is always available as well for one on one training.

**What problems is Urban SDK solving and how is that benefiting you?**

UrbanSDK has allowed the City of Woodstock to accurately pull speed-data from any road within the city limits. The data is updated monthly so it helps us respond to concerns of residents very quickly.

Well, I must say Urban SDK is doing in their business, It really helps our company a lot in analyzing some of our company profiles.
