Location Intelligence

Speakers

OVERVIEW

“Place” or “location” fundamentally influences and connects our ways of doing business. The demand for geographic business intelligence and analytics solutions has increased significantly. Location is key to all aspects of business, from deciding where to locate a new store to optimizing a supply chain or creating more engaged marketing campaigns that resonate with your best customers. Businesses have used geographic information systems for decades to analyze, visualize, understand location information and make more informed business decisions.

Location analytics is the business intelligence (BI) process to generate insights from location-based or geographic business data. Location analytics empowers organizations across various industry verticals to combine traditional BI data with the spatial data collected from data sources such as cameras, sensors, GPS, mobile devices, and social media channels. Businesses that integrate location intelligence into their marketing strategy benefit by gaining improved information that gives them insights on their consumers, allowing them to take action involving customer bases, distribution channels, networks, as well as to maximize marketing decision making.

In the wake of a cautious economic environment in the Asia-Pacific region, it is not “business as usual” for business enterprises, who have to explore newer ways to enhance services and overall efficiencies and gain competitive edge. Location Analytics is making its presence felt but remains to be leveraged before its real potential can be fully optimized. Understanding this, Geospatial Media & Communications will host a seminar Location Analytics: A Competitive Advantage for Business Enterprises on the occasion of GeoSmart Asia 2017.
