Case Study:
Going beyond Excel: Mapping and Clustering Data

This case study discusses the benefits of using Maptitude mapping software and the limitations of Excel for clustering site locations based on service contract requirements.

Key points:

Maptitude Advantages:

  • Offers robust, professional business mapping software used for in-depth geographic analysis.
  • Provides functions like heat mapping, drive-time rings, and territory creation (Page 19/Figure 8).
  • Capable of integrating data and layering information for comprehensive analysis.

Excel Limitations:

  • Initially used to create an adjacency matrix for clustering installations, which proved impractical.
  • Required inputting over 23,000 distances manually, estimated to take 400 hours.
  • Lacked flexibility for unique cost drivers and did not account for contracting goals and socioeconomic data.

The advanced features and flexibility of Maptitude make it more suitable for the strategic management of service contracts compared to the manual and time-consuming approach to do the same tasks using Excel.

Austin Clark

“We believe the capabilities of Maptitude are promising when compared to Microsoft Excel–based mathematical clustering because Maptitude provides greater information integration, including the ability to layer information.”
