How can teams leverage location data to drive business strategy?
Most businesses have location-based data — data that includes a geographic reference, like longitude and latitude coordinates, address details, administrative boundaries, movement paths, asset data and route and grid maps. For organizations looking for a competitive edge, this data is a strategic asset that can be used to enhance performance and drive value across operations. When combined with tools such as digital twins, mapping and visualization platforms, predictive analytics and machine learning, geospatial data can enable teams to identify patterns and trends and generate insights that inform decision-making, drive cost savings, improve efficiency and productivity, and enhance customer experiences.
Alistair Fox works with clients to unpack their business challenges, identify where location data can add value and align their objectives to spatial capabilities and appropriate digital technologies. By challenging assumptions and empowering clients to expand their thinking, he works with them to understand how location technology solves their challenges.

Most clients know their pain points — inefficiencies, rising costs, duplication, compliance risks — but they don’t always see how location data fits into the solution. Even when organizations understand its potential, unlocking value from the data is challenging. The data is often messy, unstructured or siloed and spatial technologies are complex and specialized — the best solution isn’t always obvious.
