RS Metrics
Satellite and geospatial imagery data provider tracking physical assets like retail parking lots, mines and metal stockpiles.
RS Metrics is an alternative data provider whose underlying data is satellite and aerial imagery analysed with computer vision, rather than transaction records or web scrapes. It measures physical, real-world signals — retail parking-lot car counts as a foot-traffic proxy, mine and commodity stockpile volumes, construction and industrial activity, and ESG-relevant metrics such as emissions or land use — and turns them into time-series estimates for investors and corporates. It's used mainly by commodities and equity funds needing an independent read on physical activity that doesn't depend on a company's own disclosures, and by corporates monitoring their own or competitors' facilities. Delivery is via data feeds and analyst reports under institutional licensing agreements rather than a self-service platform.
