• Demographics info like population density• Product mix vs customer needs / segments,
eg affluency in a particular location• Competitive info, eg competitors network of outlets• Traffic patterns within the area, easy access• Service outlets, real-time deployment of service engineers
Combine multiple location-inherent data with geographic information for better detection of patterns and trends, and turn these into actionable insights
“The evolution of information technology has matured rapidly to support the use of "location intelligence" for making effective business decisions. When combined with embedded automated decision applications, location intelligence can lead to the execution of precise customer decision strategies and a new level of enterprise performance.” Ventana Research 2009
“Gartner recognises GIS as a major maturing technology with a value and benefits profilesimilar to that of BI, and expects interactive visualisation to become the common frontend to analytical applications over the next couple of. By linking location to corporate information, organisations can use location intelligence to make better decisions, enhance planning capabilities, and achieve real business benefits”

“Companies are already sitting on a gold mine of location information that can be exploited right now. Location content can be leveraged to deliver key business value; whether it's lowering costs, managing risk or developing new revenue streams. And the reality is, location data is already sitting latent inside most organizations. All they need is the right expertise to unlock its potential and get better results.”
DMTI May 2009

Start with the basics
What location Info can enhance knowledge of products & services, and improve your encounters with your customers
Utilize multiple data sets, eg sales by territory, number of salesmen within the territory, the number of distribution trucks, etc.
Take advantage of already existing data in your data warehouse / BI
What sources of info must LI tap
Ventana Research
Enhance business data with demographics dimension, GIS and maps
External demographics info is also insightful
◦ Eg in retail, you should look at the population demographics of the site targeted, the network of roads / buses / trains from your customers leading to your outlet, etc
◦ In retail estate, you should look at the proximity of surrounding facilities, is there convenient transport, supermarkets, banks, schools
Integrate spatial information with business information
◦ A single, synchronized view of your data, provides 360-degree view of information
Single View of Your Data
Visualize on a map
Easier to detect patterns and trends in a map than traditional row and column spreadsheets
◦ Drive the map from the business data / report (BI)
◦ Drive the BI from the map
Leverage on Location Intelligence tools to gather insights Color-coding
Hotspots / data concentration, surface attribute
Region control, distance calculator
Drive times, line layers
Calculations & display of spatial measures
Deliver LI to your business users desktops
LI has evolved from the once exclusive domain of GIS experts, to the business users
Integrate LI into the organization’s business processes – for improving customer service, for responding to customer’s requests faster, for developing targeted marketing campaigns, for assessing risk
