G1-Group02
Project Motivation
Our client for this project is a Food & Beverage (F&B) giant that operates in multiple countries worldwide. For this project, we will be focusing on 13 branches in Taiwan, specifically all the branches of the F&B chain that are located along the East Coast of Taiwan. These branches are located in 4 different counties, namely Keelung, Nantou, Hualien and Taitung.
Since our allocated stores are scattered from the North to the South of the East side of Taiwan, we would like to identify any correlations between the location of the stores and the different points of interest located within their respective trade areas, and the stores' profitability, based on the number of customers for each trading zone and subzone.
Our group aims to provide digitized trade area boundaries for each of the stores to our client, so that they can work on further analysis in the future. Our group also aims to provide insightful analysis results to our client by the end of the project. Our group hopes to be able to provide business recommendations to our client regarding potential hotspots that are potentially profitable for our client to set up new stores.
Project Objectives
The project aims to meet the following objectives:
- Create digitized maps on Geographic Information System (GIS) software that corresponds to the location maps provided by the client
- Conduct detailed analysis for each store’s profile based on points of interests (POI) within their trading zone and subzones
- Provide recommendations to our client to further their business, such as recommending hotspots that may be profitable to the client
The following deliverables will be produced:
- Geopackage file containing digitized map layers for further analysis on our client’s end
- Project poster depicting our crucial findings, which includes analysis results from our findings
- Townhall poster presentation
- Project report detailing the respective analysis of each store’s profile
We hope that through this process, our team is able to learn more about the techniques of using GIS software for geographical analysis. We also hope that we can provide our client some basic analysis results that could kick-start new projects related to geographical analysis that could bring their businesses to further heights.
Project Scope
- Perform Digitization of Trade Areas in QGIS
- Populate the Trade Areas with Point of Interests encompassed within the Trade Areas
- Perform analysis on the Trade Areas and identify trends that correlates to the Point of Interests and Geographical Location
- Create a info-graphic poster that shows our analysis results
