Autumn is a time of change, perhaps more this year than ever. This issue we look at how our clients' business models, products, and data are changing - for the better!
From orchard, to bottle, to...
Autumn is a busy time in the apple growing season but Thatchers are already looking beyond the harvest. They approached us to map their sales territories and help them to grow their presence outside of their South West heartland.
See how Thatchers chose MapVision to plan their current service distribution and expand their network.
Reducing the variables in team journey planning
We're about to release a major update of our TimeTravel journey time and distance data. We look at what has changed, the benefits of using our sector-to-sector data tool, and why existing users should make sure that they update their version.
If you are an existing user, keep an eye on your inbox for details of the latest update.
Keeping your data fresh whilst we wait for Census 2021
The Office for National Statistics have now confirmed that the next census will take place in 2021 in England, with the comparable bodies for Northern Ireland and Scotland confirming 2021 and 2022 respectively. With more than 10 years since the last census and at least two more before we see any results from this one, we've been focussing our blogs on some of the other sources available to keep your geodemographic data up to date.
New tools for home workers
With lockdown upon us again, more organisations are moving away from their traditional desktop GIS and looking for lighter, simpler systems that their team can use anywhere. As such, we continue to develop MapVision, our web-based mapping tool, to meet our customers needs.
Latest features include:
- New maps: Choose between Ordnance Survey or Collins Bartholomew rasters for more detail at higher zoom levels and mapping in Northern Ireland
- Tailor how you share projects online; either with full MapVision functionality, or as a simple map with basic navigation options.
- New polygon functionality: create free-form shapes within MapVision and use them to optimise your catchments or group map points.
To see a full list of new features visit our User Area, and get in touch if you're making the move from fixed site, to multi-site home working and need to change your mapping solution.
