Location is a unifying theme in business.  Location can be an address, a service boundary, a sales territory, or a delivery route.  All these things can be visualised and interactively managed and analyzed.  Spatial relationships, patterns and trends reveal invaluable business intelligence and bring easy-to-understand visualisation to business applications.

Location Intelligence Solutions can be used in sales and marketing, transportation and logistics, inventory management and procurement, customer relationship management, retailing, manufacturing, claims and risk management, health care, real estate and more.
