Do you run an organisation that collects a lot of data? Want to find out who your customers are, how often they buy, where they come from. and what do they buy? Looking for better ways to manage your products, stock levels, and relationships with suppliers? The list is almost limitless but data on its own is worthless. What do you do with data? How can you gain new insights and discover previously hidden opportunities? This is where Location Intelligence (LI) comes into the picture.
What is Location Intelligence (LI)?
Location Intelligence (LI) combines location-based data with traditional metrics that are captured within a Business Intelligence (BI) system.
One of the biggest advantages of location intelligence is that it helps businesses solve problems by offering context to business data. It can also be leveraged by organisations to see, understand, and act on new business opportunities by uncovering previously unknown or unexplored data patterns, or crucial relationships between different data types and sources.
