DASSA Buyer Map
Kyagaba David Lwanga | DASSA | October 2026
As of 12 Oct 2026
This page maps the organizations that could buy location intelligence work like DASSA's, sorted by type and size, with who usually signs off at each.
The groups come from the sectors your own site names: real estate, logistics, utilities and healthcare. Counts are for the whole US and are rough on purpose.
Where your buyers sit
Organizations by staff size. Your Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana base is a slice of each row.
| Group | Organizations in the US | Under 20 staff | 20 to 99 | 100 to 499 | 500 or more |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Real estate brokerages and agencies | about 150,000 | about 150,000 | about 1,200 | about 260 | about 140 |
| Commercial landlords and property managers | about 47,000 | about 44,000 | about 2,300 | about 650 | about 360 |
| Warehousing and storage operators | about 9,200 | about 5,100 | about 1,700 | about 1,100 | about 1,300 |
| Freight brokers and forwarders | about 16,000 | about 14,000 | about 1,400 | about 400 | about 260 |
| Electric, gas and water utilities | about 6,800 | about 5,300 | about 930 | about 340 | about 210 |
| Hospitals and health systems | about 3,100 | about 360 | about 250 | about 1,200 | about 1,300 |
US firm counts by industry code, banded deliberately.
Who usually signs off
The person to reach at each group, and the work from your service tiers that fits each one.
| Group | Who usually signs off | What they would buy from DASSA |
|---|---|---|
| Real estate brokerages | Managing broker or principal; a research lead at the larger firms | Market, heat and amenity maps for listings, pitches and brochures |
| Commercial landlords and property managers | Asset manager or head of leasing | Trade area and foot traffic reports for leasing packages |
| Warehousing and storage operators | Head of operations or the real estate lead | Site selection and property tracking |
| Freight brokers and forwarders | Operations director | Dashboards and web apps that track shipments and lanes |
| Electric, gas and water utilities | GIS manager or asset management director | Field employee dashboards and asset tracking |
| Hospitals and health systems | Strategic planning or business development lead | Market segmentation and site selection for new locations |
Where the larger buyers sit
Brokerages, landlords and freight coordinators are mostly small firms, so a direct note to the principal usually reaches the person who decides.
Hospitals skew large. At hospitals, and at the bigger warehousing operators and utilities, the work usually runs through a named owner in planning, operations or asset management, and the sign-off usually takes longer.
Where DASSA could start
Utilities and hospitals through the free consultation
These buyers usually move slowly and want scope agreed first. Your free one-week consultation fits the way they already buy, so lead with it.
Warehousing on site selection
Operators choosing or reviewing a location usually want site and trade area answers before they commit. Site selection is a clear first project that can grow into property tracking work.
Built from public federal business statistics and the company's own website, counts banded deliberately. Sign-off roles are typical, not named people.
