Territorial Analysis has become one of the key dimensions to build a successful business, provided it's executed at the maximum available detail and using the best available data.

Geomarketing is a business decision support process based on the analysis and geographic visualization of business, market and context datails.

The vast majority of corporate data (an estimated 75+%) have a natively geographic characterization, so it is well suited for spatial analysis.

The use of digital maps for data visualization and analysis allows to make decisions which are:

• more effective - because it is possible to identify trends and data relationships that would otherwise not emerge;
• more efficient - because a picture is worth a thousand words and helps speed the understanding and communication of information.

Geomarketing is therefore the ideal basis for a robust network planning (be it of sales people or retail outlets).

In summary, Geomarketing is able to answer several questions companies are asking:

• Where is my target located ?
• Where are my best customers located ?
• What is my customers' level of disposable income ?
• How far do my customers have to travel to reach the closest store or service point ?
• What is my company's / my brand's level of territorial coverage ?
• Where and how the is competition positioned in the area?
• What is the sales potential of each store (new or existing)?
• Which cannibalization (or redistribution) impact can I expect from the opening (or closing) of a store ?
• Which priorities have to be established in my territorial development plan?
• How to plan and target marketing activities in the area?
• ... and many others.
