Imprecise routing or a lack of street data can cost an organization hundreds of thousands of dollars. The ability to assess the best routes for drivers or visualize where customers need services allows businesses to optimize their workflows and adjust according to need. Organizations from all industries benefit from the power of geographic information system (GIS) technology, as the mapping solutions provides key insights that otherwise go unnoticed. ArcGIS StreetMap Premium provides offline, enriched street data for superior routing, driving directions, and network analysis, while ArcGIS GeoAnalytics Engine moves geospatial analysis directly to an organization’s data analytics environment. Through the new StreetMap Premium licensing option for ArcGIS GeoAnalytics Engine, organizations can enhance their workflows.
Let’s dive in and learn how industries like insurance, healthcare, educational institutions and logistics are improving their workflows and cutting costs with these two products.
Insurance Industry
Insurance companies work to accurately assess customer risk so they can offer competitive premiums that balance risk mitigation with business growth. Location plays a critical role in this process by helping the insurers understand how close a customer’s address is to relevant risk factors, such as likelihood of a natural disaster or proximity to high crime areas. With accurate, authoritative geocoding and rich contextual data, insurers can more confidently evaluate risk and set fair, competitive premiums that support customers while driving strong business outcomes.
Taking this precise level of analysis a step further, combining StreetMap Premium with GeoAnalytics Engine, insurance companies can apply these same geographic insights across all their policies and regions at once. Instead of evaluating risk one property at a time, insurers can analyze large volumes of policies together to identify risk patterns, regions with higher or lower overall risk, and changing conditions across neighborhoods, cities, and regions. This broader geographic view helps insurers make faster, more consistent decisions, improving pricing accuracy, and better manage risk as conditions change.
Healthcare Industry
Healthcare services are accessed daily by communities across the country, from mental health resources to food banks. These services are crucial and without equitable access some people may be forced to travel a great distance to find care. However, how does one ensure coverage that meets a population’s direct needs? StreetMap Premium allows governments and health organizations to conduct detailed analyses of communities’ access to healthcare by mapping and analyzing the accessibility of health care facilities relative to the patients they serve. The ability to route street data allows organizations to calculate travel time between patients and healthcare centers, helping identify areas with limited access to medical services. The ready-to-use street data can be rapidly deployed to perform accurate network analysis and find underserved communities.
When paired with ArcGIS GeoAnalytics Engine, these insights can be expanded to support healthcare planning at a broader, systemic level. Healthcare organizations can compare access across neighborhoods, cities, or regions to clearly see where communities are well served and where persistent gaps remain. By looking at these patterns over time, organizations can also understand how changes, such as population growth or decline, the opening or closure of healthcare services, or shifts in transportation networks, affect those who realistically need care. This combined approach helps leaders monitor how access evolves, anticipate emerging needs, and make informed decisions about where to expand services, how to allocate resources, and how to improve access to care in ways that meaningfully support entire communities.
Education Industry
School administrators are constantly looking for ways to get students to school and home safety. Unfortunately, ongoing bus driver shortages and rising transportation cost make this increasingly difficult. To make the most of limited resources, administrators need reliable location data and tools to help them understand where students live, how routes overlap, and where inefficiencies are hiding.
School districts rely on StreetMap Premium together with GeoAnalytics Engine to apply their understanding of where students live and how routes overlap across all students and bus lines at once. Instead of evaluating one neighborhood or bus line at a time, administrators can process large volumes of student addresses, analyze network options, and uncover routing patterns that increase efficiency. With accurate location data from StreetMap Premium and large-scale processing from GeoAnalytics Engine, administrators can build routes that reduce fuel use, shorten mileage, and make better use of driver capacity.
Logistics Industry
Logistics companies operate under constant pressure to shorten delivery times, control costs, and stay competitive on pricing. To make informed daily decisions, they depend on accurate data and dependable solutions to streamline and optimize their operations.
StreetMap Premium provides ready-to-use data that supports both geocoding and routing, enabling logistics companies to identify the geospatial origin and destination of each package within ArcGIS. To further enhance routing accuracy, StreetMap Premium Custom Roads enables companies to integrate private roads, access roads, service lanes, and gated facilities into their networks, enabling more direct paths and improving travel times accuracy.
When logistic teams pair StreetMap Premium with ArcGIS GeoAnalytics Engine, they get a complete system approach to routing, performance analysis, and large-scale operational insights. This combination enables logistics companies to process millions of GPS points, vehicle movement records, and delivery events in the cloud. Companies can process large volumes of data in minutes instead of hours or even days, automate data cleaning, and identify patterns in arrival times, stop durations, and ongoing inefficiencies. This empowers logistics companies to compete on both delivery times and price in a competitive market.
Get Started
Now that we’ve highlighted how pairing ArcGIS StreetMap Premium with ArcGIS GeoAnalytics Engine can deliver value across different industries, it’s clear why this combination is so powerful. Organizations in insurance, healthcare, education, and logistics can strengthen their analysis by combining enriched address and street data with the ability to process large volumes of location information in a Spark environment—all without needing to source or prepare the data themselves.
