Making Better Spatial Decisions:
LET’S MAKE SENSE

Organisations are daily faced with the consequences of their spatial decisions. If it’s moving products or services from one location to another, locating a new business premises or determining the size, location and nature of your customer base – it’s a spatial decision. Spatial Planning Solutions is about improving these decisions for organisations.

What are spatial decisions?

Spatial decisions cover a variety of actions and behaviour:

Identification, selection and differentiation of markets, retail store catchments and the distribution of services and resources (e.g. Location of Ambulance stations, optimum location of schools, retail stores, or new operations centres.)
Evaluation and benchmarking of service delivery or logistics systems. (i.e. what methods should be used to indicate that our dispersion, distribution or transport systems are the most appropriate for our market / sector)
What external contingencies must be considered? How do Environmental, Public Safety and Local Authority Planning regulations affect our operations or location decisions? Many organisations see the sense in analysing their corporate information geographically. Spatial Planning Solutions has the expertise, skills and technology to allow you do this.

Spatial Planning

Our starting point is that we seek to influence the future distribution of activities in space - to balance demands for development with the need to protect the environment, - and to achieve social and economic objectives.

We utilise Geographic Information Systems technology as a decision making tool. It can provide businesses and organisation with insight about their customers' purchasing habits, financial behaviours and needs for additional products or services.

GIS is certainly revolutionising how people view data

GIS technology is increasingly being used as a decision making tool by the business community. GIS seamlessly links into most modern databases allowing for real time analysis of the latest information. At Spatial Planning Solutions a range of Geographic Information Technology software tools are utilised to allow management, analysis and visualisation of a huge range of geographic data. However not all spatial decision and problems are obvious or can be neatly defined.

Problem Solving

Our extensive project based experience allows us approach each assignment individually and with client needs in mind. Through careful application of established methodologies or development of new ways of looking at problems we can help you understand how geography influences your organisation.
