SiteTrak™

SiteTrak™ is a map-based decision-support system that allows users to access the site-specific data necessary to analyze and evaluate a location for possible development or use. SiteTrak™ can help you find the right site for your next store, distribution center, or service department. With a SiteTrak, you can blend customer surveys with census data to visualize market penetration, market share, and trade areas.

Communities can enhance the economic development process by facilitating access to data about infrastructure, business, demographic, economic, and human resources via the Internet. SiteTrak assists businesses with site selection, target marketing, and business clustering; communities take an active role in attracting new businesses and investment. They reduce the burden on businesses with Web-based applications and business data to facilitate the search for available sites for relocation and expansion. Whether you are a business, corporation, governmental agency or individual who is searching for a site, the ability to analyze geographic and demographic information on the proposed site and the surrounding region is a vital component in the decision-making process.

Information That May Be Analyzed Includes:

Taxes
Infrastructure data
Cost of living index
Workforce and education data
Business and industry resource data
Public safety data (Crime Statistics)
Business location incentives (Tax incentives/reductions)
Licenses and permits required in each jurisdiction

Knowing the facts can save you time, reduce your risk, and help you avoid costly mistakes when searching for a new site or seeking relocation of existing operations. Analyzing data can answer a question like: Does the area have the labor force, infrastructure, and business resources to support the needs of your business?

Advantages to Using a GIS-Based Solution:

The GIS-based approach facilitates a very accurate display of infrastructure, business and industry data and their respective attributes by using their respective latitude/longitude coordinates in real space, providing for very precise distance locations.
Since the system is map-based, the level of detail incorporated into the GIS is extremely high. All attributes are overt and can be used in the site location decision-making process and in the planning, design, and construction phases of an accepted site and facility. Intermodal and infrastructure accessibility and requirements as well as their interrelationship with goods and services inventory may also be reviewed and evaluated.
GIS provides a visual environment for location site decision- making. This graphical presentation is a reflexive component of the implementation of any decision. All facets of the decision- making process take place in a visual and interactive environment.
This method of data presentation relates problem formation and solution in a powerful way. Visually displaying infrastructure, business and industry data as well as regional wide-ranging social and economic data aids in user understanding and comprehension whereby decision-making can be handled more efficiently and effectively.
Since this method of visual data presentation facilitates user understanding and comprehension, site location decision- making is ultimately enhanced. The visual environment provides a means of conveying highly technical information in a very straightforward and understandable manner.
