There will be many instances where we have precise location information for the customer (or data record), and we would like to produce a thematic map but the data does not taiwan telephone number contain a variable that identifies which shape a customer belongs in.
In the example below, I have some customers from a German system. I have data that contains their latitude and longitudes, and a shapefile for federal states, but would like a Selector variable showing which of these each customer belongs to.
The territories wizard now can undertake this allocation process and create that variable, whilst simultaneously creating a version of that shapefile that can then be used as the basis for displaying thematic maps. In the example below, for each state we are showing an average holiday cost for the customers who live in each of these states.
DriveZone Mapping
FastStats has long been able to do analysis by drivetimes from locations to produce variables. These centre points are often store locations. The zones could represent customers within 15, 30, 45, 60 minutes drivetime of that location. Users could then use this information in selections or produce analysis using cubes showing metrics broken down by customers at different drivezones from these points.
However, until now they have not been able to visualise those metrics or the extents of those drivezones on the map tool. A single extra checkbox on the wizard will then create the associated shapefile representing the extents of each zone whilst the variable is being created.
