Case Study: Greater Cleveland Partnership expands access to 900+ business resources with EcoMap Discover

Greater Cleveland Partnership maps 900+ resources with EcoMap Discover

The Greater Cleveland Partnership (GCP), one of the largest chambers of commerce in the US, faced the challenge of connecting businesses across its region to the right support resources. Their manual, spreadsheet-based system was incomplete, time-consuming to maintain, and only accessible during business hours through staff, preventing it from scaling to serve the entire ecosystem. They partnered with EcoMap Technologies to implement the EcoMap Discover platform to solve this.

EcoMap's solution created the COSE Small Business Resource Hub, a searchable online directory of over 900 resources available to any business 24/7. The platform organized resources by topic and audience, saving GCP staff significant time previously spent on manual requests. While the primary impact was enhanced community service, the flexible infrastructure also allowed GCP to quickly create new curated collections, like a dedicated tech hub, responding to new opportunities without adding manual workload.
