Delivering competitive advantage
Success requires insightful demand planning, forecasting and supply chain management. Contextual understanding of geographical variations in disease migration, incidence and prevalence relative to environmental conditions, demographics, community attributes, inventory, other diseases, vectors, and health & hygiene factors is required. Spatial intelligence enables improved market penetration, competitive advantage, operational efficiency and profitability.
Features:
- Demand Planning/Forecasting: Spatial visualization of demand signals from a variety of micro and macro economic variables, public health, political and cultural factors, as well as natural and weather events that may influence demand forecasting and related business decisions. Spatio-temporal visualization of the spread of new, re-emerging and fading diseases by geography, demographics and season.
