Leveraging on this fact, our group aims to digitalise the data and conduct in-depth analysis on each branch. We hope to track the performance of each chain in relation to Point-Of-Interests surrounding each chain, uncovering and comprehending phenomena, with the aid of spatial data.

The visualization provides the buffer polygons, as well as representing population density of the area through colour. By comparing the two, we can conclude whether the center of activity is proportional to the population density in a region. It allows us to perform further exploration to see what spatial information significantly affects the level of activity in a city, such as the availability of points-of-interest. This visualization is great as it allows the viewer to clearly see multiple dimensions dealing with spatial data in an elegant way.

The graph on the left shows the distribution of outlets on the geographical map. The right graph describes the outlets grid distribution, result from grid creation and spatial joint operation. From both figures, they can show the potential tendency of whether the outlets are clustered, and with the number of outlets in each grid. We could use them together to justify and adjust the outlet locations.

This visualization provides a novel way of linking a variable to its geographical location when hovering over the respective area. It would be great in our case, if we were to allow the user to view the corresponding branch through the tooltip, for example profit.

This shows kernel density surface, based on the number of fast food restaurants around Jakarta and distribute them smoothly, so it provides average surface estimation. Kernel density estimation allows us to observe both the centrality and agglomeration of existing outlets. This visualization allows us to view multiple dimensions at a time in an effective manner, through the choice of colour and size.

This databoard shows the cumulative sales. We could learn from this and display by outlets to compare the performance by having multiple forms of visualization. We really like the fact that certain key summarizations and variables are displayed on the top, and will consider using this in our project.

REPORT


Introduction & Motivation

International Food Chain (IFC) is a leading brand in its sector, with over 18000 outlets worldwide and an ever-growing presence in the global market. In Taiwan alone, IFC has over 240 branches and are constantly expanding.

However, as the franchise grows bigger, so does its challenges. One of the challenges involves the lack of a geographical analysis to efficiently compare the performance of each chain to one another.

Leveraging on this fact, our group aims to digitalise the data and conduct in-depth analysis on each branch. We hope to track the performance of each chain in relation to Point-Of-Interests surrounding each chain, uncovering and comprehending phenomena, with the aid of spatial data.

This project was made in tandem with: https://wiki.smu.edu.sg/1920t1is428g1/Two_Eyes_One_Pizza

Objectives

This project aims to provide insights into the following:

  1. Missing Areas in trade zone
  2. Number of POIs surrounding each store
  3. Store performance with regards to sales
  4. Delivery Information
  5. Population Density
  6. Buffer and proximity
  7. Nearest Competitors to store
  8. Variable importance based on regression analysis

Tools and Libraries

The following tools and libraries are used in the digitisation and analysis:

  • QGIS
  • Excel
  • Python

Datasets

Datasets Provided:

Dataset Rationale
Traced Map
A1.PNG
  • The client provided us with powerpoint files of manually drawn trade areas. These maps contain the various zones within the trade area, competitors, nearby stores as well as the drive time between each spots in the main road.
  • The five competitors defined by the client are:
  1. Dominos
  2. Napoleon
  3. Mcdonalds
  4. Kentucky Fried Chicken
  5. Mos Burger
Geospatial Data
A2.png
  • The client provided us SHP files that contains information about Counties found in Taiwan
Column Description Example
COUNTYID Unique ID of each County “U”
COUNTYCODE Unique numerical ID of each County 10015
COUNTYNAME Name of the County in Mandarin “台北市”
COUNTYENG Name of the County in English “Taipei City”
Town Area
A3.png
  • The client provided us SHP files that contains information about Towns found in Taiwan
Column Description Example
VILLCODE Unique numerical ID of each Village 65000050041
VILLNAME Name of the Village in Mandarin “甲仙區”
VILLENG Name of the Village in English “Jiasian”
TOWNID Unique ID of each Town “K12”

Foreseen Technical Challenges

We encountered the following technical challenges throughout the course of the project. We have indicated our proposed solutions, and the outcomes of the solutions.

Key Technical Challenges Proposed Solution Outcome
Data is already pre-aggregated to display monthly sales
  • The dataset is given directly to us from IFC, and we are unable to change it. Thus, We shall utilize and do our best with the available data.

NA

Unfamiliarity in Python integration with QGIS regarding creation of data processing scripts
  • Watching video tutorials about Python and QGIS
  • Independent learning on the design and syntax
  • Peer learning and sharing

We managed to start using the languages quickly and suit our own project needs. Each of us work on different parts such as setting up, designing, logic and deployment. This speeds up our project progress.

Data Cleaning & Transformation Proposed Solution
  • Having a systematic process while working together in order to maximise efficiency e.g. taking turns to clean, transform and perform checks on the data to ensure accuracy

The adopted process was having clear instructions issued to each member in the team, along with maintaining constant communication with each other. In the event that the dataset is deemed too dirty to be usable, it was dropped along with sourcing for new data that would be a suitable replacement.

Lack of geospatial knowledge to understand the dataset initially
  • Attend SMT201 class to learn more, as well as reading up on resources given by Prof Kam to gain further contextual knowledge

NA

Digitising of trade areas from powerpoint slide to QGIS
  • The process is manual and we had to put in a lot of effort to convert the drawn polygon to data points in QGIS.

The data points can better allow us to generate insights on the profile of each outlet via its trade area.

Integrating Relevant Data from Multiple Sources Proposed Solution
  • Working together to decide on what data to extract or eliminate
