Welcome to the Location Data Blog!

To increase operational efficiency and maintain a profitable business model, businesses must gauge the performance of various processes and identify focal points that require change and strategic innovation. Business leaders must also develop a firm understanding of consumers and prospects, at scale, so that they can create effective marketing campaigns with broad appeal. Mobile location data is a powerful tool that helps companies achieve these objectives across business verticals by providing meaningful, actionable insights.   

Businesses that want to thrive must improve their performance across different functions to retain and increase market share. Nowadays, companies are tapping into a powerful form of business intelligence to achieve this goal: mobile location data. As a leading provider of geospatial information, Quadrant supplies data to customers that allows them to execute various analyses like measuring marketing ROI, site selection for expansion, benchmarking against competitors, and predicting performance. These analyses facilitate the optimisation of different operations which increases revenue and decreases costs.

The rise of data privacy frameworks 

Mobile apps can access various types of customer information – including personal and financial details, images, location, browsing and search history, purchasing patterns and contacts. For a long time, there were no checks and balances in place to prevent unauthorised access and misuse of this sensitive information. Therefore, there was a dire need for regulations that govern the conditions under which businesses are allowed to process sensitive consumer data.  

Whether you are an agency or a business with an established in-house marketing team, your goal is maximising ROI on your marketing and advertising spending.  

Mobile location data can help achieve your KPIs, especially in offline marketing. Using area-based insights you can make profitable marketing investments to improve brand visibility, gain new customers, or increase visits to a physical store. 

In the last eight years, the public discourse and the regulatory environment around privacy have changed dramatically. Snowden’s revelations, 2013. GDPR, 2016. CCPA, 2018. Seeing the demand for increased privacy, Apple will soon introduce changes that will give people even more choice over what they want to share with companies. But what do all these mean for businesses working with location data?
