Marston's used mobile mapping software and data to review their site network and site performance of their pubs
Find out moreAs the UK’s leading independent and pub retailing business, it is important for Marston’s to continuously assess their existing Site Network, the performance of these sites and the potential performance of a new site in a given market.
In order to complete this Marston’s had to overcome the challenge of their data and information coming from multiple sources. Ensuring that an individual, whether in the field or office based, can self-generate reports at a composite or single level to inform decision-making, quickly.
It is important for Marston’s to identify potential sites based on chosen criteria and target values. Once a site has been identified, a catchment analysis is needed to understand the statistics for the catchment to then be compared to an existing site, to predict likely performance and inform decision-making.
"Easy to use, the development and training felt like a partnership and good value.”
James Whiteman - Group Head of Estates & Development - Marstons
Through full discovery, specification and planning Geoplan delivered a mobile tool to run site network assessment and site performance analogues of their pubs.
This consolidated the existing systems and information, whilst delivering the ability to “self-serve” a site assessment pack, either in the office or in the field.
Users can now view all data in a single system, create reports for different user types through a live dashboard. With mobile access providing users in the field to generate, retrieve and edit “Site packs” with questionnaires, notes and photos at a potential site.
GeoAnalyser was used to identify areas of overlap, waste and opportunity, enabling Kawasaki to reduce cost and improve sales performance and return.
The ability to create efficient delivery routes for each store, reduced the associated costs including fuel, resource and vehicle maintenance.
Geoplan mapping and optimisation tools enabled the luxury chocolate company to right-size their field force and capture live field-data for performance monitoring.
