Location IntelligenceImpatient transport (or minimising journey times when expanding an ambulance network)We were recently approached by a private ambulance provider with a proven track record in short and long-distance relocations, and in-patient appointments, offering a complete 24/7 service for their clients. They were looking to expand their services to cover more of the UK but crucially ensure that their service level - and by extension their reputation - remained exceptional. Bringing together journey planning, digital mapping using both postcode and administrative geography, this project showcases just how much geographic intelligence can add to business planning and growth. RSAcademics move to MapVisionWe've been working with RSAcademics since 2016. They provide a range of strategic marketing and research services to schools. Our data modelling, analysis and mapping provides a deeper understanding of each school’s catchment area. They have now added to their service offering by adopting MapVision. This allows them to tailor and explore the data maps and empower each school to do the same. They can then make full use of their local knowledge to draw insight from every project. How to make a postcode mapPostcode mapping is one of those things that should be simpler than it actually is. Once you have your postcode data in a spreadsheet there is no easy wizard to map it for you. Whatever software you then use, there are a few fundamentals you need to keep in mind to visualise table data as useful geographic analysis. We've tried to distil the most fundamental points into a guide for a first time data mapper. Company news:We have moved:Not only are we now back to office working after the lifting of lockdown restrictions, but we have a new office to come back to. Lighter and more open than the old pad it allows us to work better on cross-discipline projects - plus the view is a lot nicer. We've are still on the same business park so the only practical difference is that if you are visiting us or sending anything in the post we are now based in unit 10. All of our other contact details are unchanged. |
