“Recent Gartner research has
found that organizations believe
poor data quality to be responsible
for an average of $15 million per
year in losses.”

The world we live in is
Spatial.
How many ways did you use spatial today without even thinking
about it?

Spatial data is used for everything from
saving lives to ﬁnding you a cup of coffee.
It creates experiences that exist only in the
digital world, and improves experiences in
the real world.

Yet, many organizations
don’t use spatial when
making decisions.

All Data Types
All Data Velocities

Spatial Data is everywhere!*
● Everyone is someplace all the time.
● Everything is someplace all of the time.
● Everything happens somewhere.
● Location, location, location.
*pun intended

You can’t afford to make
decisions without using
Spatial Data.

Spatial Data is the catalyst to take you from
digital optimization to digital transformation.
● With spatial data you see new relationships and gain
location powered insights to make better decisions.
● Without spatial data you miss market opportunities, allocate
resources poorly, and fall behind your competitors.

Leveraging Spatial Data for
Actionable Location Intelligence
Retail & Customer Segmentation
● DO: Track sales and manage inventory.
● DT: Analyze foot traffic, optimize store layout,
provide in store personal experiences.
Healthcare & Epidemiology
● DO: Electronic Health Records (EHR) to digitize
patient records.
● DT: Real-time location to track equipment, staff,
and patients, signiﬁcantly reduce wait times,
improve asset utilization, and enhance patient care.
● DT: Location drives greater understanding of
outbreaks.
Industries Discovering the Advantage of Spatial

Transportation & Optimized Logistics
● DO: Route planning and shipment tracking.
● DT: Real-time route optimization based on
traffic conditions, weather, and other variables,
reducing fuel costs, improving delivery times, and
enhancing service quality.
Food Production & Precision Agriculture
● DO: Track crop yields and manage schedules.
● DT: With precision agriculture - optimize irrigation,
and fertilization based on soil conditions, weather
forecasts, and crop health data, leading to increased
yields and sustainability at lower costs.

Finance
● DO: Fraud detection & Branch Location
Optimization
● DT: Location of transactions, demographic data,
traffic patterns, customer’s location to optimize
the location of branches
● DT: Detect unusual or unexpected transactions
