Founded in 2021, Nimble empowers its clients to use real-time public web data to build AI and business intelligence applications. We connected with Oshrit Aviv, founder and CEO of Enterio.io and compliance advisor to Nimble, to talk about artificial intelligence, smarter mapping, and the role of compliance in a data-centric industry.
EWDCI: Can you give us the elevator pitch for Nimble?
Oshrit Aviv: Nimble helps companies gather and use public web data to make smarter business decisions. By providing an easy-to-use platform, we allow organizations to access real-time information from across the web without needing complex technical setups. Whether it’s tracking competitors, monitoring prices, or analyzing trends, Nimble connects businesses to valuable online insights they can rely on every day.
EWDCI: What do you wish more people understood about web scraping?
OA: Web scraping, when done responsibly, is not only legal but also vital for innovation and fair competition. It empowers businesses across industries—from retail to finance—with insights that are otherwise incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to surface. Ethical web scraping respects data privacy, transparency, and fair use principles; and it plays a key role in advancing data accessibility for informed decision-making across sectors.
EWDCI: How have global events impacted your growth and service offerings in the last few years?
OA: Recent global events have accelerated demand for real-time data insights, especially as industries seek agility in response to supply chain disruptions and rapid market shifts. Nimble has expanded its offerings to meet these needs, providing robust solutions for real-time competitive tracking, trend analysis, and rapid data integration. The shift toward digital operations has driven substantial growth, allowing us to expand our capabilities and optimize support for our clients’ dynamic, data-driven decisions.
EWDCI: What are the most innovative uses for your services that you’ve seen—particularly with maps?
OA: Nimble’s services have been applied in innovative ways to address various mapping needs, from competitive analysis to strategic planning. Businesses use our data to understand broader market trends, such as monitoring product availability, pricing patterns, and competitor presence across regions. For instance, retailers and logistics companies use mapping insights to optimize supply chains, adjust pricing strategies, and identify potential areas for expansion.
Nimble’s mapping data is able to support municipalities in smart city initiatives, providing insights that help city planners enhance infrastructure, improve resource allocation, and plan for traffic management. Another key application involves mapping restaurant distributions in urban areas, enabling businesses to make data-driven decisions about new restaurant openings based on factors like local competition, dining trends, and neighborhood demographics.
EWDCI: What effect has the rapid growth of AI had on your service offerings?
OA: The rise of AI has been a catalyst for Nimble’s growth. Our platform supplies the high-quality, real-time data that AI models need to perform at their best. As AI applications require vast, diverse datasets, Nimble has focused on enhancing its semantic data-processing capabilities, enabling AI-driven automation in areas like dynamic pricing, predictive analytics, and autonomous decision-making. We empower our clients to integrate public data directly into their AI workflows, fueling continuous, adaptive learning.
EWDCI: Where does government policy interface with your work on a daily basis?
OA: Compliance with global data protection laws, such as GDPR, CCPA and AI Act, is fundamental to our operations. Government regulations guide our practices on data privacy, consent, and transparency, and we maintain strict protocols to adhere to these standards. Furthermore, as web data collection is increasingly scrutinized, we engage proactively with regulatory developments to ensure that our methods align with evolving legal frameworks.
EWDCI: Why did your team find it important to join the EWDCI?
OA: Joining the EWDCI aligns with our commitment to ethical data practices. As leaders in data collection, we recognize the importance of establishing trust through transparent, responsible methods.
