The Technology Advantage

Throughout the commercial sector, executives are learning how geospatial technology can give them a competitive edge by providing a more in-depth look across their company, industry, and market. Typically, 80 percent or more of a company's data has a spatial component. This allows integration of GIS with other business systems, which enables an organization to exploit its existing data to achieve a strategic advantage and increase profits through: 

• Gains in efficiency and productivity

• Improved decision-making and timeliness

• Improved understanding of markets and customers.

Business users need not be GIS specialists to benefit greatly from geospatial technology. For 20 years, we have been helping organizations develop solutions to overcome their operational challenges and deliver improved results. We know that each industry and each company is unique.  We don't believe in one size fits all products or tailoring your business to the technology.  Rather, we work with clients to diagnose, strategize, architect, build, and deploy solutions that are specific to their individual needs and goals.

The Realization

The benefits of geospatial analysis are now being realized across a range of industries, including healthcare, retail, and real estate. Examples of how GISi has implemented GIS in some of these industries include:

• Site Location. GISi has partnered with Intalytics to bring the best of breed from site location analysis and GIS to a single team, combining years of retail location research and consulting with years of GIS consulting. The solution, SiteIntel offers solid and proven location research delivered with cutting-edge technology. GISi has also helped customers create enterprise systems to manage real estate portfolios, with the ability to make more informed decisions on buying, selling, and or managing leased property.

• Healthcare. A GIS-based master facility plan that allows the geographic display, analysis, and reporting of information that is critical to strategic decision making. GIS helps health providers understand where existing and potential patients are located with respect to existing and potential facilities. Supplemented by additional information, such as services offered and consumed, the planning process discovers gaps and overlaps and adjust the alignment of services or even identifies opportunities to expand the network of doctors and facilities.

• Retail. Companies seeking to understand their markets better find that GIS can help them segment consumer data, optimize business openings and closings, and market their products or services. GIS can visualize, analyze, and manage data on any business asset (such as facilities, customers, and employees) that has a location reference.
