We have a need for an IP to location database so we have acquired the rights to one of those ([IP2Location.com](http://IP2Location.com)). Since that is a local lookup (and I have paid for it), I would like to have Mautic utilize it. What would that require? ---

At the moment, without hacking the core platform, you can only use the services that are defined by Mautic. I’ve noted a feature request at [https://github.com/mautic/mautic/issues/743](https://github.com/mautic/mautic/issues/743) to look at making it possible to plug in custom services for this case. ---
