Anatomy of a perfect location, with and without big data
What’s a heuristic? In layman’s terms, it’s judging a book by its cover. It’s when you decide on something based on limited information, just like Pavlov’s dog salivating when it hears a bell. As humans, we use this approach constantly because it’s incredibly efficient. Instead of watching an entire movie, we first look at the trailer. Before eating an entire meal, we first look at the menu. And when choosing retail locations, we simply glance at ten or so factors, make a call, and call it a day.
Brick-and-mortar retail meets big data — and there’s no turning back
Cutting-edge technology and brick-and-mortar retailers have never gotten along perfectly. The relationship is complicated, but it can be incredibly harmonious — despite the knee-jerk opposition of many retailers to things like online shopping, mobile apps, bluetooth beacons, and now big data. Business owners who reject these ideas are often left behind as the natural selection of capitalism demands better, smarter, and cheaper strategies. But what about those who embrace these revolutionary technologies? This is where we see an elegant integration of ancient and modern, providing customers with the best of both worlds: the familiarity and convenience of brick-and-mortar retail, enhanced by the actionable and dynamic insights provided by machine learning.
Emerging brands breakout: Learn how technology has opened up the playing field
While technology seems to shrink objects over time, it super-sizes their performance. Once room-sized, computers have now folded up into our briefcases. Telephones have dwindled into tiny pocket-sized mirrors. And business intelligence analytics? Analytics have been shrunk, packaged, and made affordable to even the most spendthrift sole-proprietors…
Why is it that the commercial real estate industry is slow to adapt to new technologies?
Undeniable – the commercial real estate industry is painfully slow to adapt to new technology! I have witnessed hundreds of companies refer to an excel document as a sophisticated piece of “technology.” The major drivers for this lag in innovation revolve around an outdated rationale and a general lack of forward thinking. The idea that value can only be extracted from hard assets or tangible assets is being challenged now more than ever.

The Kebab Shop spreads European style in America with a SiteZeus partnership
This California brand is hoping to popularize kebab shops- Europe’s tastiest (and most ubiquitous) street food- in America. Small kebab shops started popping up in Europe as a result of Turkish immigration, and the dish caught on like wildfire. The Kebab Shop is bringing this simplistic but stellar model to the states, and the fire is catching.
SiteZeus wants To make location search faster, cheaper and easier
Real estate is a laggard when it comes to adapting to change, says SiteZeus EVP of product development Chuck Cooper. He arrived at this conclusion after more than 30 years of developing software for real estate and other industries. Now, his Tampa, FL-based company, founded by brothers Hannibal and Keenan Baldwin in 2014, wants to help industry players find ideal locations to choose from by crunching large amounts of statistical data.
The evolution of site selection
The 21st century is upon us, and it’s here sooner the you imagined: Real estate site selection just took a huge leap into the future, and you might have missed it: Artificial intelligence is taking over the industry. Up until now, the commercial real estate industry hasn’t adopted new technology as well as others have. Even stodgy insurance companies now use big-data modeling to calculate “insurance credit scores” on hundreds of millions of customers. And even the notoriously backward-looking legal industry has hired IBM’s Watson, a deep thinking supercomputer, on as a paralegal. But commercial real estate?…

Is your data leading you deeper into the dark?
Your evil stepmom is leading you deep into the woods (with the obvious intention of abandoning you there) and you realize your only hope of finding your way home is dropping trail markers periodically along your path.
