Location intelligence (LI) is a part of business intelligence (BI), which enables organizations with the capability to visualize spatial data to identify and analyze relationships.

It enables organizations to get insights about their customers and how to serve them better, increase brand loyalty, and effectively improve customer relationship management. Latest innovations around location intelligence have made it easy to map excel data, create data dashboards, and derive deep insights from location data. This allows organizations to get immediate insights over data. In addition, mash-up techniques eliminate the need for moving data between GIS systems and data warehouse environments. Simply put, LI is the integration and analysis of visual geographic/geospatial information as part of the decision-making process in everything from marketing to supply chain logistics and operations.
Most of the location intelligence solutions uncover the opportunity to work with traditional data sources and spatial data with a live relation between them, in order to produce dynamic maps via WMS/WFS standards or static maps and pictures in SVG format. It can prove to be helpful in many areas such as customer insights, marketing and advertising, choosing a location for a business, supply-chain and risk management, and mobile asset tracking.
The use cases for Location Intelligence tools are essentially endless, and businesses discover new ones in as the needs evolve. Taking advantage of LI should be one of the key priorities for decision makers seeking quality insights in an increasingly competitive global market. Once this process is carried out effectively, LI solutions can help lower operating costs, maximize customer satisfaction, and mitigate business risk.
