These updates include data packs such as Retail Places & Venues, Postal Boundaries, Education and Retail Universe. 💻We are always delighted to be able to share a client success story and we have a new one on our website... https://lnkd.in/desMn5DJ This week we’re thrilled to share the story of Australian national supermarket retailer Coles.

🌍☕ Coffee: The World’s Favourite Habit This week we’re in Spain with our 'coffee around the world'. Niamh Graham shares her recent cafe hopping day. Her goal was to experience both Valencia’s traditional café scene and its growing specialty coffee culture. Coffee is always part of the rhythm of Spanish life. Next week we’ll be bringing you coffee insights from China thanks to Coco Ke Lin. #CoffeeCulture #CoffeeLovers #Team

We love sharing stories about how our clients drive value for their businesses using location planning.  This week we’re delighted to share the story of Australian national supermarket retailer Coles.   https://lnkd.in/gq5g-i5F Coles Supermarkets have used the science of spatial analytics to optimise their store network for customers for many years.  They are leaders in the application of location planning, always looking to improve data and techniques as technical capabilities evolve. Many thanks to the Coles Location Planning Team for allowing us to work with you, and for your kind words Richard Lyness and Chris Hitchcock… "We consider Geolytix an extension of our Location Planning team, the work that they’ve been able to help us with has brought our physical and online location planning teams closer together and has enabled us to make better decisions for customers when assessing new store opportunities. However, that is just the core of the work. Working with Geolytix is a true partnership and they are always on hand to answer our questions; whether it is to provide us with a view on global trends, thought leadership on the Location Planning industry, or supporting with innovative ways to help drive efficiencies in the way we work."

Thanks SONIA TRAORE MANTION for sharing insights into the exciting developments at The O2 in Greenwich! The combination of retail, dining, and gaming, such as the Virgin Media Gamepad and the KFC flagship store, reflects the growing trend of experiential retail. This evolution highlights the importance of location intelligence in shaping destinations that foster community engagement and deliver memorable experiences. A perfect example of how blending innovation with location strategy is paving the way for the future of retail! #LocationIntelligence #ExperienceRetail #O2Greenwich

📝The GEOLYTIX Data Science Hackathon has become an annual tradition.

Thank you to Daniel Hart for running the 4th iteration of this day. 💡A host of different techniques were used including Logistic Regression, Various GBMs (e.g. AdaBoost, CatBoost, LightGBM etc.), Neural Networks, GPT4o and TabNet.
