Spatial Analytics and Data Science

Unlock new market opportunities, mitigate risk, optimise resources, and confidently plan for the future ArcGIS the world’s leading spatial analytics software – trusted across Aotearoa New Zealand and around the globe.

Harness the power of spatial problem-solving

Spatial awareness arises from ongoing inquiry about our past, present, and future surroundings. Transcend the boundaries of business analytics with spatial thinking that helps you understand the interconnectedness of our world.

Understand the where in your data

Watch patterns emerge when you see your assets, customers, performance metrics, and competitors in the context of their location. Use spatial analysis to layer your data on a map, where you can combine and evaluate information to find the answers you need.

Use data to measure the real world

Get to know the spatial characteristics of where your organisation or assets operate. Calculate the sizes and distribution of service areas, sales territories, or work sites, as well as metrics like building heights, the distance between assets, and the slope of pathways.

See how places and entities relate

Find connections between objects when you geographically explore their proximity, coincidence, intersection, overlap, and visibility. Determine the strength and direction of these newfound relationships to inform decisions related to supply chains, emergency response, or market opportunity.

Find the best locations and routes

Perform cutting-edge suitability modelling, site selection, market expansion, logistics, and asset network planning. Explore environmental characteristics and consumer behaviour to understand which locations may be more desirable to your research or organisation. Optimise ways to get resources where they need to be to maximise efficiency.

Detect and quantify patterns

Go beyond visualisation to find geographic clusters, hot spots, and outliers. Share meaningful analysis with decision-makers that supports them in getting buy-in and informs their next steps.

Make predictions

Use powerful modelling techniques and geospatial artificial intelligence (GeoAI) to understand and predict the environmental, societal, and economic impact of a decision. Create and iterate what-if scenarios, forecast decision outcomes, make accurate performance projections, and more.

Simplify spatial problem-solving

Organisations across Aotearoa are increasingly relying on geospatial data to make better decisions, plan for the future, and deliver better outcomes for communities. Esri have developed approachable tools and scalable infrastructure, and also continue to push the boundaries of spatial data science to empower your entire organisation to work with geospatial data. ArcGIS meets your organisation where it is with simplified operations and methods, seamless integrations, and comprehensive resources to boost confidence and skills.
A comprehensive system for spatial analytics. Gain access to enterprise-grade software with data, methods, and tools to support all types of spatial analytics workflows.
Leverage existing IT infrastructure and tools. Continue to use the investments you have made in scalability and performance. Generate results that can be integrated into third-party systems.
Maintain performance and scale. Transform massive geospatial data into manageable information using distributed architectures to analyse and display large volumes  of data.

Thrive within a growing geospatial landscape

As the volume and variety of data evolves, know that the same problem-solving principles shared here can be applied to get the answers you need.
