LOCATION INTELLIGENCE FOR BUSINESS

Business operations takes place in geographic space. Hence, businesses requires the “where” or “location” factor to optimize decision making. This is because location – office or store, customers address, competitor, sales territory, delivery route, administrative units etc. is a central factor in business operations.

Location Intelligence integrates location data into existing business intelligence applications to reveal geographic relationships and patterns that will otherwise be undetectable in traditional business enterprise applications. Traditional business intelligence applications answers the “who”, “what” and “when” questions while location intelligence provides Gethe data, tools and processes for taking account of the “where” factor in business decision making.

DASS Geospatial Limited provides a range of services that empowers businesses to utilize the location advantage in business matrices analysis and decision optimization, namely:

• Location Intelligence Strategy Implementation – The location intelligence needs of business vary with business type and scales. We assess the needs of each business towards implementing the appropriate location intelligence configuration. We also provide services in integration location data with existing organizational business data.
• Asset Mapping – Key business assets such as branch networks, customers, prospects, competitors, sales areas, supply chains, delivery routes etc, are mapped and integrated into existing organizational data.
• Location Analytics – We help turn business data equipped with locational attributes (spatial awareness) into decision support tools, through data visualization, analysis and prediction of potential outcomes.
  • Visualization of data by representing it in map format. This generates spatial pattern and relationships. e.g. distribution of existing customers or branch network.
  • Analysis – map driven analysis of business data gives new insight into business metrics and provide new answers to decision makers.
  • Prediction – data analysis is carried further to forecast business metrics in space-time dimensions. Such repetitive scenario building operations helps to improve business decision making.
  Location intelligence has proved to be useful for business across the spectrum of operations. Some of these applications are as follows;
  • Sales territory delineation and optimization,
  • Selection of locations for stores and branch networks,
  • Customer mapping,
  • Competitor mapping and analysis,
  • Market analysis and market share estimation,
  • Customer segmentation and profiling,
  • Targeted marketing,
  • Sales force management,
  • Sales analysis in a geographic context,
  • Market research,
  • Identifying areas of growth and new business opportunities,
  • Fleet management and asset tracking logistics and
  • Supply chain management.

DIGITAL DATASETS

Geographic datasets describing the location and distribution of real world objects such as roads, landmarks and land covers constitutes the livewire of GIS. We produce and maintain digital datasets for the entire country. Our spatial digital datasets include road network and point of interest datasets covering most parts of Nigeria. The datasets are ideal for applications such as;

• Fleet tracking
• Navigation
• Assets location
• Map production etc.
