The Recipe for Strategic Site Selection: A Deep Dive into My Role as a GIS Planning Specialist
As the Site Selection and GIS Planning Specialist on the Real Estate Analysis team within the Strategic Customer Program, my mission is to help businesses make informed spatio-financial decisions. This involves providing comprehensive, data-driven analyses of individual properties and entire site portfolios. By leveraging geographic intelligence, we aim to optimize site selection and maximize the return on investment (ROI) for our clients.
One of my primary focuses is identifying locations that offer the best experience for electric vehicle (EV) drivers, ensuring high utilization rates. This is directly aligned with our broader vision of making electric vehicle charging as convenient as possible—what we call the “30-minute retail” experience. This initiative is all about making EV charging quick, accessible, and seamlessly integrated into everyday life.
In my role, I work closely with our team to create geo-intelligent models that not only support our financial analyses but also tell a compelling story through data. These models help us visualize key insights, making it easier to communicate complex spatio-financial concepts to stakeholders and clients. By doing so, we empower businesses to make decisions that are not only financially sound but also strategically aligned with their long-term goals.
At “Data Chef,” I showcase a portfolio of projects that illustrate the power of combining geographic information systems (GIS) with various data sets to understand the world around us. Explore my blog to see how data-driven insights can help us navigate the day to day with granular perspective.
