12 INDUSTRY SEGMENT Location Intelligence
Key takeaways
> Nearly all data are tagged with location. With location-based data under-pinning transactions, we can now determine when, where and how much and by which customer. It is leading to refining the methodology in which we locate stores, merchandise, sell, promote, distribute and ultimately understand our business processes.
> Geolocation platform designed for real-time applications mainly faced regulatory constraints. The current technology is designed for individual monitoring, not for massive geolocation monitoring.
> Open spatial analytics helps to integrate scientific workflows with data, documentation and expertise in the way it puts science at the centre

Key takeaways
> An integrated approach to address disaster impacts is the need of the hour. Damage to infrastructure is a serious issue; loss of lives has been reduced but damages to economy continue to grow. This calls for an integrated approach
> Social media has a significant potential to be a very effective tool in disaster relief efforts. Indonesia’s PetaBencana.id portal is an example of effective use of social media and crowd-sourced information for flood response and saving lives.
> Climate variability assessment/analysis is important in addition to climate change assessment, to address the challenges of the impacted sectors.
> There is a need for greater collaboration between ASEAN countries in addressing disaster and climate impacts, with focus on continuous training, collaboration with scientific community; and greater focus on solutions rather than platforms
> There are a number of geospatial-based solutions available to mitigate disaster impacts. It is important for government departments to be aware of them and adopt them in their processes.
The event was very good for us, a lot of interest in our products, and also multiple very good leads to follow up. Simone Placidi, Managing Director, Metasensing AP Pte Ltd, Singapore
