Afundamental question of any business is ‘where’? Where to locate? Where are my customers? Where are my competitors? Where are the gaps in the market? Businesses that use GIS make faster and more effective commercial decisions. Everything that is important to making your business a success can be analysed, managed and visualised using a GIS.
