From Data to Market Intelligence
In the dynamic HVAC solutions market, Boldr is revolutionizing how companies leverage permit data for strategic growth. By partnering with Shovels, they've transformed their go-to-market approach from manual prospecting to data-driven precision targeting.

- Identify and connect with HVAC contractors experienced in mini-split installations
- Target homeowners who recently installed compatible HVAC systems
