Customised mapping and analysis bureau

At Beacon Dodsworth we provide a customised mapping and analysis bureau service which is affordable, flexible and rapid.

We know that mapping adds a stimulating visual geographical element to your wall, presentation or website and acts as a powerful tool when analysing trends across areas and justifying decisions and spends to clients and management.

As such,we produce maps, reports and tables undertaking the analysis and presentation you would require from a geographic information system (GIS) only without the need to purchase any software or have any training / GIS experience.

Our bureau work includes:

Postcode and administrative boundary maps

Producing different kinds of maps illustrating postcode boundaries or administrative geography for all or part of the UK. This allows better visualisation and more accurate targeting of postcode boundary catchments.

Mapping territories and drive times

  • Optimise territory management

Analysing field engineers' workload against customer base abd drive times to map the most efficient territories for each engineer. This allows the optimum number of customers to be reached in the quickest time.

  • Analyse drive times

Creating drive time maps to sow the postcode sectors reached in 5, 10, 15 and 20 minutes from multiple retail locations. This enables targeted direct mail promoting a prospect's nearest store.

Demographic analysis

  • Estimate demand

Profiling potential dentist surgeries in relation to the type of people in the area and how long it takes to drive to the surgeries. This enables accurate demand forecasting for each prospective location.

  • Better understand customers

Mapping 16,000 customer postcodes to illustrate where a garden centre’s main customers live and how long they drive for to visit the centre. This was then profiled against P² People & Places and Target Group Index (TGI) data to look at their core customers’ ages, lifestyles and incomes.

  • Find more customers

Mapping this information alongside a 60-minute drive time catchment surrounding the garden centre enabled the client to see who their customers are, where they live and where to find similar people to market their products and services to.

Pricing

All bureau work is unique, so prices do vary. We only price work after we have discussed the details of the job with you and studied the data we need to use meaning you get a bespoke quote and only pay for what you need.

If you require maps using Census, geodemographic or third party data, we can also source the data for you. We're nice like that!
