Business decision-makers take note: Location-based context is critical for the future of application experiences and customer engagement. Understanding the location of customers and assets lets companies get closer to their customers and assets to drive better decisions.
Just to name a few:
- choosing the a site for a brick-and-mortar location;
- picking what offer to send to a customer;
- guiding passengers through airports;
- deciding where to focus your next marketing campaign; or pushing a greeting and sign-in to a patient as soon as she enters a hospital.
The flood of spatial data generated by ubiquitous mobile and proliferating IoT devices offers developers new opportunities for user engagement, but choosing the right tools and services to ingest, analyze, and act upon this information can be vexing.
From comprehensive spatial analysis systems to decomposed location services solving specific problems, the landscape of spatial analysis vendors and offerings can be overwhelming and confusing.
