With a single, trustworthy view of your site information, you can make better operational and financial decisions, keep customers and store managers informed with the latest information and respond more quickly to changing business needs and external events.

Centralize site-specific information with Location Data Cloud

Because location and site information are often stored in multiple spreadsheets, databases and applications across various business units, teams and regions, it can be time-consuming and costly for retailers to understand where money is being spent and how those sites are operating. Location Data Cloud provides the centralized management of geographic, site and inventory data attributes, as well as governance to maintain data integrity.

With Location Data Cloud, companies can address complex challenges such as:

Finding information about a specific retail site or store
Evaluating new potential sites based on a set of preferred attributes
Identifying and reconciling duplicate site data stored in different business systems
Tracking property portfolio changes resulting from mergers, divestments, closures and rebrands
Providing consumers with up-to-date store information such as operating hours, safety measures, parking options and availability of services such as Wi-Fi or in-store/curbside pickup
Viewing performance metrics by site, square footage, region, operations, advertising sales, retail segmentation and other attributes to drive actionable insights
Providing precise delivery information, with both accurate, validated addresses and longitude/latitude coordinates for delivery bays or terminals

Turn location data into a valuable, actionable asset

Location Data Cloud provides complete transparency across all operational site data (such as corporate locations, stores, distribution centers, franchises, etc.), as well as external site data (competitors, customers, partners, suppliers, etc.) through the following functionality:

Data integration:

Consolidate, cleanse and standardize data from hundreds of source systems before synchronizing the mastered location data with websites, mobile apps, location marketing tools and other enterprise applications such as Oracle Retail and SAP Retail Site Master and Demandware. Integrate with any IT architecture via Location Data Cloud’s open web services platform.

Data modeling, governance and workflows:

Ensure data policy rules are monitored and managed to provide data that is trusted and accurate. Governance workflows can be used for approving store changes and providing periodic notifications about maintenance and repairs, remodeling, new construction and other site activities, making collaboration between corporate and store-level teams easy.

Hierarchies:

Build different hierarchies based on division, region, district, trade area and store information for a full understanding of the property portfolio. Aggregate sites with similar attributes into clusters and define sales territories, enabling comparison of multiple sites in the same territory based on user-defined attributes.

Centralized repository:

Establish a single, 360° view of all location information and site-specific attributes by eliminating duplicates and merging data sets, leveraging automated processes, business rules and workflows to track changes and data matches

Data enrichment:

Validate addresses and enrich location information using third-party data sources such as D&B and GBG Loqate. Enhance with location-related data such as demographics, competitors, purchasing power, consumer spend, etc.

Configurable dashboards:

Improve data stewardship by tracking accuracy, completeness and currency of all location data, including attributes such as verified square footage and address cleansing, standardization and scoring for deliverability via a role-based data quality dashboard.
