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 premise 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 ranging from;
- 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.
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.
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.
When
making decisions businesses are often ‘data rich’ but ‘information
poor’. A vast and bewildering array of data can make it difficult
to glean the core information required to assist in decision making. Data
exploration & mining, statistical analysis & evaluation, Spatial
Analysis & presentation allow us move from mere ‘data’
to ‘information’ and with your own expertise apply this in
your own organisation. |
