Matching demand and supply is the basis of the business model of any company whose operations depend on micro-mobility, since for every unit of demand that is not satisfied, an order is lost, leading to loss of profits and customer loyalty.
All companies that rely on micro-mobility can better manage their assets by improving their algorithms with location intelligence and foot traffic analytics, identifying demand peaks or drops beyond the average value in order to foresee or solve any kind of unexpected problem and generate solutions based on Big Data. Mobile tracking helps to know what is happening over any terrain and teaches how to be proactive about it.
Location intelligence through techniques based on Big Data collects spatial data in order to improve the decisions made in logistics centers, allowing the use of location and its related data points, creating solutions and optimizing distribution routes.
This new technological tool finds its immediate application in space-dependent businesses, such as delivery and logistics companies. The data collected through infrastructure sensors, cameras and traffic mapping not only allows them to determine the best locations for their businesses, warehouses and centers, but also allows them to know why certain locations have a direct impact on the success or failure of a business.
