Imagine you've been tasked to evaluate potential sites for a new warehouse. This evaluation is to be based on access to transportation, the presence of special restrictions such as nearby historical neighborhoods, access to restaurants and other facilities that employees may need, access to public transportation for employees, and nearby land use that may restrict or enhance development. How do you evaluate these sites in a quantifiable and defensible way? Of course you need data, but you also need tools that can analyze and measure geographic relationships. When you look at a map, you inherently start turning that map into information by finding patterns, assessing trends, or making decisions. This process is called spatial analysis. But many patterns and relationships aren't always obvious by looking at a map. Often, there's too much data to sift through and present coherently on a map. The way you display the data on the map can change the patterns you see. Spatial analysis tools allow you to quantify patterns and relationships in the data and display the results as maps, tables, and charts. Using spatial analysis tools, you can answer questions and make decisions using more than a visual analysis. To learn more about accessing and running the tools, see Use the analysis tools. An overview of each tool is below. The analysis tools are arranged in categories, which are logical groupings and do not affect how you access or use the tasks. Tip:Visit the Learn ArcGIS website for lessons using the analysis tools. If you're a developer, you can access these tools through Spatial Analysis Service REST API and ArcGIS API for Python. Summarize dataThese tools calculate total counts, lengths, areas, and basic descriptive statistics of features and their attributes within areas or near other features.
Find locationsThese tools find features that pass criteria that you specify. They are typically used for site selection when the objective is to find places that satisfy multiple criteria.
Data enrichmentThese tools help you explore the character of areas. Detailed demographic data and statistics are returned for your chosen areas. Comparative information can also be reported for expanded areas such as counties and states.
Analyze patternsThese tools help you identify, quantify, and visualize spatial patterns in your data by identifying areas of statistically significant clusters.
Use proximityThese tools help you answer one of the most common questions posed in spatial analysis: What is near what?
Manage dataThese tools are used for both the day-to-day management of geographic data and for combining data prior to analysis.
Raster analysisIn addition to the tools listed above, you can perform imagery and raster analysis using the Raster Analysis tools. These tools are also grouped into categories according to their purpose. For example, the Manage Data category contains tools for clipping, reclassifying, converting, and sampling your imagery or raster data, while the Deep Learning tool category contains tools for performing deep learning classification with imagery layers. If the tools in the Raster Analysis pane don't have exactly what you are looking for, you can use over 150 raster functions to perform analysis, and even chain those functions together in the Raster Function Editor to perform more complex workflows. Imagery and raster analysis has additional licensing and privilege requirements. For details, see Use raster analysis tools. If you're a developer, you can access these tools through the Raster Analysis Service REST API and ArcGIS API for Python. Feedback on this topic? Is a territory routing plan in which a salesperson works a different part of the territory and travels in a circular loop back to the starting point?Cloverleaf-Using the cloverleaf pattern, a salesperson works a different part of the territory and travels in a circular loop back to the starting point. Each loop could take a day, a week, or longer to complete. A new loop is covered on each trip until the entire territory has been covered.
Which of the following is the best method for reducing customer complaints a salesperson can utilize?Encouraging self-service is one of the best strategies to reduce customer complaints. Think about this for a moment; a customer complains when he encounters a problem.
