Mapping the Business Value of Geospatial Services
Thought Leadership and Economic Consulting Teams
Oxford Economics
Few technologies have become an essential part of everyday life as quickly as geospatial services. The same technology behind the digital maps that remade the way people shop, commute, and travel is having an enormous impact on business operations and outcomes, influencing everything from logistics and to location expansion planning to customer service.
To better understand the impact of geospatial services on business, operations, and customers, Oxford Economics worked with Google Maps Platform to survey 1,000 executives in diverse industries and across multiple countries. We found that geospatial services enable enhanced visibility into business operations that allows companies to make better decisions and act faster at both the operational and strategic levels.
