Operational Impact
The spatial data analysis provided the firm with valuable insights that gave them a competitive edge in the bidding process. The analysis revealed that the retail chain's brand did not have an issue, but the issue was with the strategy. The chain had tried to expand into city centers around the periphery of their core market, but their stores performed best when they were on the side of a highway with a large trucker base. The firm was able to determine that they could correct the chain's expansion strategy much easier than they could correct the brand. The analysis also showed that there was ample opportunity within the current existing market to build additional stores. This information allowed the firm to push their assumptions more, write bigger checks, and ultimately win out in some of the bidding processes. | |
