Customize Location Search with New Weighting Feature

By | 08 February 2021
Score weighting makes it easy to identify the best sites for your business.

Users can attach weights to every single data variable, making location search highly customized.

Businesses looking for the best locations can now very quickly identify which sites best match their specific requirements. In location analytics platform TargomoLOOP they can rank locations by assigning weights to criteria most relevant to them.

Each business needs a specific area to thrive. For some stores, households with children are crucial, while the presence of offices has a negative impact on revenue. For restaurants the presence of high footfall is important, while the vicinity of supermarkets could be detrimental to business.

Finding the locations that match these individual location parameters is now easier with a new weighting feature in Targomo’s location analytics platform TargomoLOOP. In the example with the stores above, the feature allows a retailer to add a high weight to the variable households with children and a low or negative weight to the presence of offices.

Of a list of potential locations, TargomoLOOP can now easily rank all these sites and give an individual scoring to every location, using the weights. Locations in areas with more households with kids will get a higher score, while those with many offices in their vicinity get a lower score. The result is a ranking list of locations customized to the specific needs of the business, in this example a certain retailer.

By adding weights to each demographic variable and reachable places category, our customers can precisely find the locations that best suit their business. Weighting greatly improves the value of our scoring and ranking analysis, resulting in better location recommendations.”
