Landscape Links Added to Clearbox Source

Clearbox Source by Marketplace.city now supports secure, temporary Landscape Links, making it easy to give peers and partners access to government-specific technology market data without creating accounts or managing long-term permissions.

Why We Built It

Government technology decisions are rarely made in isolation, and the timely delivery of market intelligence from a trusted source can make the difference between a successful vendor relationship or a very costly mistake. Teams constantly exchange questions like:

• What vendors are cities actually using?
• What does pricing look like in the public sector?
• Do we have examples of real implementations?

Marketplace.city already answers these questions but until now, that data was only accessible to logged-in users or through exported files. That meant insights were often shared as static snapshots instead of live, up-to-date market intelligence. Landscape links change that by letting teams share the data itself.

The Result

Users can now generate time-limited, view-only links that open directly to a Market Landscape. We call these Landscape Links. These are live, dynamic pages showing companies and products within a specific government technology market. 

Each landscape link provides access to:

• Vendors and products within a defined market
• Public-sector case studies and implementations
• Pricing and contracting data where available
• Market-specific insights curated for government buyers

These links require no login, but remain secure, view-only, and are set to automatically expire after 10 days by default. Users can reach out and request longer access if needed.

Built for Teams Inside and Outside Your Organization

Marketplace.city is designed for collaboration, especially within government teams. Cities already have unlimited users, and landscape links are often used as a simple way to:

• Introduce teammates to a market before they create an account
• Share context with leadership or cross-department partners
• Build alignment around vendors, pricing, and real-world use cases

Rather than sending files or screenshots, teams can now share a live view of the market. This makes it easier to drive adoption of the tools and insights your organization already has access to.

Landscape links are also useful when collaborating across cities or regions, helping governments:

• Compare vendors using the same market definitions
• Ask peers about real-world experience, backed by examples
• Show leadership what the market looks like beyond marketing claims

A New Way to Access Market Research

In an industry where analyst-driven market research is closely held behind restrictive subscriptions, limited users, hourly rates, and static reports, Clearbox Source is data-driven, affordable, and scalable across your entire organization and beyond. 

The result is simple, controlled sharing of trusted, government-focused market intelligence without admin overhead or friction.
