GIS for Media Business

GIS provides journalists with more effective tools to report the news and put it in context for readers. For media business executives, it manages the networks that facilitate subscriptions and distribution. The growth of the Internet in the past 10 years has challenged publishers to find new ways to grow and maintain profitability. Identifying new markets, increasing advertising revenue, and keeping distribution costs to a minimum are keys to success. GIS gives a better way to manage all of these functions.

Lower Distribution Costs

Managing the logistics of delivering publications to customers or resellers can be costly. GDi GISDATA solutions integrate mapping analysis into decision support for everything from calculated arrival times to customer sites and schedule requests.

GIS allows logistics manager to map routes for multiple trucks while accounting for factors such as set delivery times, construction or other delaying factors on the roads, and minimizing route miles. Route plans can be viewed in map format as well as list and timeline format and updates can be sent to drivers already on their routes.
