Leverage the power of location

Retailers demand precise location intelligence for sustainable growth

Retail is a location-driven business

Best-in-class retailers are using mapping and location analytics to inform critical decisions about where to grow their business, to understand customer behavior, and to visualize and manage assets like inventory and supply chain networks. Using the power of retail GIS, analysts can develop web-based maps, infographics, and analysis to inform their colleagues throughout the enterprise about performance and operations.

A comprehensive location intelligence platform for retail

The competition for your customers' attention has never been more intense. Retailers have to know who their best customers are and be ready to engage them with relevant products and services. They need confidence in their store and facility investments and in knowing that their teams, inventory, and assets are positioned to meet changing customer demand. Retailers must also keep their customers, team members, and stores safe and compliant with local ordinances. ArcGIS meets these needs and provides an authoritative system of record for precise local data.
