We empower bold, decisive business moves with clear insights.
What makes us different?
Our data is revolutionary.
Never before has the automotive industry had access to instant insights that inform key decisions with real-time market share data. Our platforms house billions of data points, including VIN-level data for any market within the US and supply and demand of every make and model. Our data is proprietary and not available from any other resource.
Our clients leverage this data for key market insights and to fuel smarter marketing campaigns, investing dollars only where and when needed. With this data, our goal is to fundamentally change how businesses evaluate and act upon insights.
If the last few years have taught us anything, it’s that data is only as good as the source, timeliness, and application of that data. Our team came together to form Cloud Theory because we’ve watched countless businesses rely on outdated insights to inform important decisions.
