“Maptitude is incredibly user-friendly. It can be very intimidating to use a new geospatial tool without formal training. With Maptitude, I started with no training and quickly became the in-house expert at my company. We are locating new stores, optimizing existing footprints and quantifying local market opportunities.” John Cochran |
