Q.04 What is the difference between the Travel Card and the Enfold Report?
Both contain the same analytical information. The Travel Card is credit-card-sized for maximum portability. The Enfold is a trifold paper format suited to filing and business correspondence. The choice depends on whether portability or document format is the priority.
Q.05 Can I add geographic origin determination to a Travel Card?
