Let\u2019s say you\u2019re a bank that is looking to increase ATM usage, therefore you want to determine how close your ATMs are to customers as well as other competitor ATMs. You started by mapping all your ATM locations in ArcGIS Business Analyst, but you\u2019re uncertain what the next step is. Begin by selecting the Suitability Analysis workflow<\/a> and add variables that will show you how suitable each location is based on surrounding demographics, businesses, and competition\u2014such as ‘total population’, ‘total employed population age 15 years or older’, ‘nearby shopping centers\/malls’, ‘income’ and ‘nearby ATMs’. Refine the variable weights based on proximity to your target demographic and distance from other ATM locations. Once the map is created, you can analyze the results, view the site rankings, understand where your competitors are located, and increase opportunities. You can even run ready-to-use infographics<\/a> to learn more about the market within a certain walk-time or drive-time from your locations.<\/p>\n
