Value proposition
Supplies 'AI-ready data' — cleaned, linked, machine-readable spatial and business data (53 data types) that AI models and agents can directly consume, plus AI valuation/analysis solutions (AI 시세, GeoChain, AI LOBIG) for enterprise decision-making.
Products and solutions
BigValue Platform (AI data analysis platform), Data Product / Data API, Cube AI Solution, 복덕방 가재 (AI real-estate agent), AI 시세 (AI property valuation), GeoChain (LLM-based spatial analysis, GS 1st grade), AI LOBIG (franchise/commercial analysis), Signals/Report/Dashboard content hub.
Unique value
'B2AI' strategy — treats AI as the first customer, opening 5.15M pages of business data in AI-readable form (MCP/markdown/API) so AI citations drive demand to its data products; combines SEO with Generative Engine Optimization (GEO).
Target customer
Banks and financial institutions (loan collateral valuation, credit), retail/franchise chains (trade-area analysis), public/government agencies (urban planning, livestock disease prevention), B2B CRM and prop-tech platforms.
Industries served
Finance/banking, retail & commercial districts, real estate/proptech, public/local government, B2B CRM, healthcare/medical, agriculture/livestock (disease prevention).
Technology advantage
10+ years of data-cleaning/quality-control know-how; AI 시세 algorithm estimating ~20M properties daily; nationwide linked spatial data (real-transaction, building/title registry, card spending, foot traffic); automated AI-driven data pipeline; MCP/API delivery for LLM consumption.
How they differentiate
Unlike typical data-management/analytics vendors, BigValue sells the data itself as a product — supplying cleaned, linked, AI-consumable data (MCP/API) rather than just tools; positions as a 'data utility' provider for AI, benchmarked against CoreLogic/Palantir.
Main competitors
CoreLogic (overseas benchmark, property data), Palantir (process benchmark), domestic legacy SI-based IT/data firms (no direct same-model competitor in Korea).
Key partnerships
Shinhan Bank, Hana Bank, Gwangju Bank, NH Investment & Securities, IBK, DGB Daegu Bank, Pepper Savings Bank, SBI/Welcome Savings Bank, Naver Pay (AI 시세), Naver Financial, Salesforce (Agentforce), Yanolja Cloud & KT estate (Trustay)
