CARTO Analytics Toolbox

**Introduction to CARTO Platform**

[CARTO](https://carto.com) is the leading Location Intelligence platform for geospatial data analysis, providing advanced tools to visualize, analyze, and gain insights from location data.

As part of the CARTO Location Intelligence platform, this toolbox enhances your geospatial analysis capabilities within Snowflake. By leveraging Snowflake’s cloud data platform, CARTO allows you to seamlessly integrate and process spatial data for various applications, empowering your business with actionable spatial intelligence.

**Analytics Toolbox Overview**

The CARTO Analytics Toolbox is a comprehensive suite of user-defined functions (UDFs) and stored procedures, designed to extend the geospatial capabilities of Snowflake. This **full version** includes all the functionalities of the Analytics Toolbox Lite plus additional advanced modules to support more complex geospatial operations. Some of the functionality included is:

- Location Data Services such as geocoding, routing and isoline calculation.
- Support for loading, storage and analysis of raster data sources integrated with the CARTO platform visualization and analysis tools.
- Advanced geo statistical procedures: Moran's I, Getis Ord, Composite Scores, Geospatially Weighted Regressions, Spatio-temporal clustering and others, as part of a growing collection of geostatistical tools.
- Data Enrichment to augment your datasets with other data sources, either your own data, or CARTO Data Observatory subscriptions.
- Creation of tilesets for optimized visualization of massive datasets.
- Transformations, like ST_BUFFER to generate a circular area of a given radius from a geography point; or ST_CONCAVEHULL to calculate the minimum (concave) area that covers a set of points.
- H3 based functions beyond Snowflake's native capabilities, like H3_KRING to calculate an area of concentric H3 rings.
- Clustering, like the ST_CLUSTERKMEANS function to calculate clusters of points based on the distance to each other.
- Processing, ST_VORONOIPOLYGONS to generate Voronoi polygons from a set of points.

**Trial and Subscription Information**

Start exploring the full capabilities of the Analytics Toolbox with a trial of the AT Native App on Snowflake. Additionally, you can sign up for a trial of the CARTO platform at[ https://carto.com/signup](https://carto.com/signup) to experience the full functionality and see how CARTO can elevate your spatial data analysis.

Please note that accessing the complete range of features in the Analytics Toolbox requires a CARTO platform subscription. This subscription allows usage of all advanced modules and features integrated with Workflows, the CARTO low-code geospatial analytics tool.
