What's New in Business Analyst Online in May
by Brenda Wolfe
Business Analyst Online was updated this week with some exciting new features.
Here’s what’s new…
Smart Map Search (For Premium Subscribers only)
Smart Map Search was designed to reduce the time it takes to find locations that meet your particular needs. Select up to five demographic, consumer or business metrics, such as per capita income greater than $40,000 and median age greater than 35, and Smart Map Search will identify areas on the map that meet all of your criteria at once.
The Smart Map Results table shows you in more detail how the geographical areas compare for the individual criteria you have selected. You can export the table to Excel for further analysis.
Smart Map Search criteria lists can be saved and reused to save you even more time in the future when you are evaluating a market area.
Custom PDF Maps
In addition to the standard Site Maps that you can order, it is now possible to create your own custom PDF maps based on the map you are viewing within Business Analyst Online.
- Color-coded maps for any of the thousands of demographic, consumer and business variables available with your subscription
- Smart Map Search results
- BingTM business search results
- Geographic boundaries and labels
- Multiple sites in one map view
Once you create the map on screen that you want to print or share, click the PDF button on the Map Tool Palette to provide a title and subtitle for your map and select layout options.
Updated Demographic Data in the Demographic and Income Reports
Updated 2010/2015 data are now available in the Demographic and Income Report. The remaining demographic reports will be updated at the end of June.
In addition, a new report style is available for the Demographic and Income Report.
Color-Coded Maps of Really Cool Data!
Visualizing market potential, consumer spending, and supply and demand dynamics is now possible. Thousands of new variables have been added for color-coded mapping in three categories:
Geographic Boundaries and Labels Geographic boundaries and labels are available from the My Layers drop-down. The boundaries and labels and be turned on/off independently. The boundaries and labels can be placed over any map, including color-coded maps. New Maps New maps are available for the Streets, Satellite and Topographic maps. The maps are designed to make ring sites appear rounder on the map instead of elliptical. States and other geographies in northern latitudes appear less horizontally stretched. A new Topographic map with an updated design and detailed information is now available as another viewing option in addition to the Streets map. Cheers, Brenda
Business Analyst Online is getting smarter!
by Sooria J
Business Analyst Online is getting smarter, which will help our users make smarter decisions with smarter intelligence. You must be wondering why am I “smarting” so much. Here’s why.
How many times have you wondered…
- I really like the color-coded maps with one variable. How cool would it be if I could get an interaction of multiple variables?
- My client provides a specific set of criteria for each variable (age, income, population, etc.) with the specific range they are looking for. They are ONLY interested in areas that fall into their criteria. Do I need to spend time analyzing each variable one by one and filter out the areas that meet their criteria?
- It would really save time if I could save multiple sets of criteria for each of my clients and provide them with a list of geographies that match their criteria based on their need at that moment, can I do this in less than five minutes?
If you are among the crowd who “wondered” about these questions, while using Business Analyst Online, your prayers are truly answered folks.
In the upcoming release of Business Analyst Online, we are adding a brand new feature which allows the user make all the smart moves mentioned above, aptly this feature is called “Smart Map Search”. You will be able to pick multiple variables from our hundreds and hundreds of variables, set a definite range for each of the variables and view the results (geographies) that match your criteria. Oh yea, you can also save the criteria list so that you don’t have to hunt for the variables of your (or your client’s) choice each time. Also note that you can export the results into an Excel file and use it for further analysis.
Don’t you agree that Business Analyst Online is getting smarter? Watch for my next post for more details with actual screenshots about this feature…
Later
