PROGRAMS, PROJECTS, AND SERVICES THAT WE PIONEERED (Most of which have yet to be replicated)
  • FLATTEXT.com In 1997, we were the first on the Internet to produce a complex Perl script generator to produce custom database scripts.  By writing programs that write other programs, we are able to produce scripts that are much closer to the needs of our clients.
  • ZIPCodeLocators.com In 1999, we were the first on the Internet to produce ZIP Code locator scripts on the fly.  We were also the first company in the low-end (under $2,000 each) ZIP Code locator market to allow clients to design, generate on-the-fly, and implement their own clickable maps of the United States.
  • FLATTEXT for MySQL In 2000, we were the first on the Internet to produce custom  Perl scripts on-the-fly that are capable of searching MySQL tables.
  • WorkingMaps.com In 2002, we were the first company in the custom ZIP Code map market to allow clients to specify exactly the geographic areas that they want to see mapped and show them a preview of that area and allow the client to custom adjust the margins of the map to include or exclude areas based on the preview. 
  • WorkingMaps.com In 2003, we were the first mapping company to produce a National Five Digit ZIP Code map as a single product.  This product, across 90 wide format printed pages, comes in various page sizes that range between a total of 592 and 1593 square feet.
  • WorkingMaps.com In 2003, we were the first company on the Internet to completely replicate all of Summary File 1 and Summary File 3 on a web server for custom mapping.
  • CensusWork.com In 2003, we were the first company on the Internet to allow extracts of any columns from Summary File 3 across multiple states in a single process.
  • WorkingMaps.com In 2004, we were the first company on the Internet to deliver large (up to 100 square feet) custom ZIP Code and other maps in PDF and SVG formats within minutes of the order.
