Market Share – Examining branch locations, competitor locations and demographic characteristics to identify areas worthy of expansion or determine market share in Maptitude. Investors can be able to analyze the available market share and figure out the potentiality of a given market using GIS.
ATM Machine – Filling in market and service gaps by understanding where customers, facilities, and competitors are with address locating, database management and query tools. Through the use of GIS, banks are able to make good use pf their assets and resources through mapping out the various locations where an ATM should be put up.
