Business Location Aggregator

Biz Manager is a single platform for management of business locations on 10 different map & social platforms. Managing 100s of business places across different map platforms is very tedious and time consuming work. Customer wanted to have product which enables all these updates across the platforms to be done from a single pane of window. We integrated APIs of platforms like Google Map, Facebook for Business, FourSquare, Apple Maps, Yelp!, Bing, Factual, TomTom, Twitter and Instagram.
