Webinar: Geographic Business Intelligence at Walmart

How an associate at the world's largest retailer develops data-driven analyses for informed strategic decisions

Join us on April 20th for a webinar about "Building High-Impact Presentations and Geospatial Reporting" – and discover how a senior manager at Walmart is unlocking the full power of his team's geospatial data.

In recent years, associates at Walmart have found unique ways to integrate and automate business intelligence (BI) workflows with geospatial insights. Like most organizations, associates at Walmart face the traditional obstacles in analysis and decision making: silo bottlenecks, slow data integration and processing, and tradeoffs between accuracy, speed and insight. They also have an urgent need for detailed, up-to-date reports that are easily understood, widely available and immediately actionable.

Walmart's Store Innovations & Sustainability team tackled these challenges with an open mind and the company's legendary focus on process- and cost-efficiencies. Using their existing IT infrastructure, they were able to leverage the many benefits of geographic business intelligence: “no-limits” access to data, rapid integration and processing, powerful analytics with ease-of-use, and on-demand reporting across the enterprise.

Using Near-Infrared Aerial Imagery to Inventory Oak Trees

The first ordinance passed by the California city of Santa Clarita after it was incorporated was the Oak Tree Ordinance. Thousands of oak trees cover the Santa Clarita Valley and the presence of the trees is an important part of the city’s landscape (the city logo prominently displays an oak tree). The ordinance covers oak trees of the Quercus species native to the area which includes Valley Oak, California Live Oak, Canyon Oak, Interior Live Oak, and Scrub Oak. As well as regulating the pruning, encroachment and removal of oak trees, the city sought to protect “heritage oaks” under the ordinance. Heritage oaks are the largest and oldest oaks in the city and are defined as oaks measuring at least 108 inches in circumference for a single trunk, or 72 inches in diameter for multiple trunks, at 4 1/2 feet above the ground.
