FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Two basic questions first, then eleven more under three headings: AI and data infrastructure, reporting and analysis, setup and integration. All 13 of the questions we are asked most often — which data we use, what is inside a report, how long a setup takes — are answered on this page.
GETTING STARTED
Two questions first.
These two come up in the first five minutes of almost every conversation. That is why they do not open and close; they stay open.
Why is location analysis important?
Location is of great importance in terms of customer access, operational cost, and competitive advantage. The right location increases sales potential, while the wrong location risks investment.
AI & Data Infrastructure
What the models actually do, where the data comes from, and how often it is refreshed.
In which areas are your AI solutions used?
Our AI models are actively used in these areas:
- Sales forecasting
- Performance modelling
- Location scoring
- Route optimisation
- Customer segmentation
Three of these have a solution page of their own:
What are your data sources?
Next Geo's data infrastructure consists of public sources, private data providers and field data. Data is constantly updated and accuracy checks are performed.
How often is the data updated?
Our data sources are monitored dynamically and refreshed regularly, on update schedules set per sector.
- Population data
- Annually
- Competition data
- Monthly
Two examples. The full schedule varies by sector and by data source.
Do AI models work specifically for the company?
Yes. The AI solutions offered by Next Geo are trained specifically for the sector, scale, and data sets of the institutions. Thus, each company obtains customized and more accurate analyses according to its own needs.
Reporting & Analysis
What is inside a report, which formats it comes in, and how it changes by sector.
What do your reports include?
Our reports carry these analysis headings:
- Demographic structure
- Competitive situation
- Income level
- Pedestrian traffic
- Rental value
- Potential score
- Environmental factors
They are accessible on our web and mobile platforms and can be printed.
In which formats can we get the reports?
- Excel
- PNG
- JPEG
Analyses and reports can be exported in these formats, so they can be used directly in presentations and internal reporting.
Can reports be prepared specifically for the sector?
Yes. All our reports are structured specifically for the sector. Data layers, analysis setups, and scoring algorithms used in different sectors such as retail, banking, healthcare, and automotive are customized.
We currently publish a separate page for fourteen sectors:
Setup & Integration
How the integration is done, how long it takes, where it runs, and how support is delivered.
How do we integrate your products?
Our products are API-supported and can be integrated quickly with in-house systems. Cloud and local installation options are offered. The technical support process is carried out with you throughout the installation.
How long does the installation take?
1–3 business daysSTANDARD INSTALLATION
Although it varies depending on the institution's IT infrastructure, our standard installations are usually completed within 1–3 business days. Thanks to our ready-made templates in integration processes, quick action can be taken.
Is cloud or on-premise installation recommended?
We support both options.
- CLOUD Fast and low-cost.
- ON-PREMISE Preferred where data security and special configurations matter.
The decision is shaped according to the institution's needs.
How does the technical support process proceed?
Our technical support team works with you before, during, and after installation. One-on-one support is provided at these steps:
- Training
