The Big Data Company
IRIS is the main product of The Big Data Company, a data science and engineering company on Utrecht Science Park. We build the data infrastructure that turns messy, real-world data into decisions organisations can defend. Small, senior and research-led: we do not wrap someone else's model and call it a product, we build the thing itself.
The company
The Big Data Company builds enterprise data infrastructure without the enterprise friction. Some of it is proprietary and standardised, like the site-scoring models behind IRIS; some is bespoke, like anonymising millions of documents for local government, recognising storefronts from imagery, or designing the spatial algorithms that read a retail network. IRIS is where that work is packaged for retail and QSR expansion teams: the same models, made usable by the person who owns the decision.
That is also why we are careful about which correlations we trust. The ones that break the moment the economy shifts are not worth building an enterprise product on.
Where we are
Princetonlaan 6, Utrecht. Independent, European by design, with IRIS used across 26 countries.
What we build
Proprietary site-scoring models and custom spatial infrastructure, built in-house.
How we work
The engineers who build the models are the people you talk to.
Why teams stay
Every forecast ships with its nominal 80% interval, and the model is validated on stores it never saw.
IRIS is one product of a wider data science and engineering practice. More about The Big Data Company.
The fastest way to judge IRIS is to run it on your own stores. Book a demo and we will model a live location with you in 30 minutes.
