When deciding the location of a new store, it is important to understand the impact this will have on our existing estate and customer base. As such, we have developed a Machine Learning approach to predict how revenue and customers will naturally redistribute when a new store opens. This approach allows us to quickly and efficiently model predicted store catchments and determine impact ahead of investment.

Spatial data science tells us where things are happening and helps us figure out why they are important. This typically means locating the best sites for a new store, understanding the competition, & building high quality maps. But companies who use spatial data science for consumer analytics have a competitive edge, & those who don’t are missing key information about their customers & prospects. With geospatial insight into consumer behavior, data scientists can enhance their visit attribution models, OOH advertising strategies, & mapping applications with real consumer activity, uncovering new opportunities & potential risks that otherwise would remain unknown. Join Ross Epstein, VP of New Projects at SafeGraph, as he explores how aggregated & anonymized consumer spending & mobility data is changing data science, & how CARTO & SafeGraph’s partnership makes it easier than ever to enrich locations with real consumer behavioral insights.

Aggregated location data has traditionally been hard to build and scale, particularly in countries outside of the United States. Leading organizations are devising new ways to leverage aggregate data in a range of interesting use cases. In this presentation, we will discuss: - How to create and test aggregate datasets, even when there’s low supply. - Best practices to scale these products and penetrate new markets and regions. - How ShopperTrak has found success with aggregated products in the UK market.

The adoption of electric vehicles is leading to a rapidly evolving landscape of charging point availability, with impacts on both public and private sectors. Experian have developed a framework for improved insight into these impacts, modelling who is purchasing electric vehicles, where they live, and their access to charging, either at home or on the move. These spatial insights identify potential locations for charging infrastructure investment, can assist utility demand management, and can support automotive network planning.

This session will cover Geospatial Analytics on the Lakehouse and discuss how to build scalable, efficient, cloud-based, data platforms based on the Lakehouse architecture. Lakehouse is a natural architecture for processing your data irrespective of its size, and whether the data is structured or unstructured. This opens up a wide array of geospatial use cases ranging from analytical to ML/AI for retail, IoT/mobility, agriculture, public sector, and more. We will also discuss two initiatives: Product Integrations with CARTO and Project Mosaic. Mosaic is a Databricks Labs project, which brings a unified framework for distributing geospatial analytics on Databricks. Mosaic augments your existing geospatial ecosystem and unlocks the full potential for driving value out of geospatial data.
