Scan/US Site Factory:
Multi-site demographic analysis at your
fingertips! Prerequisite:
User-defined, geocoded, point-data location layer
Site Factory
is a batch processing plug-in for Scan/US which enables you to:
- Generate maps and demographic
reports for thousands of locations or custom polygons
automatically
- Automatically analyze thousands
of locations and produce a spreadsheet of demographic data that
met your specified criteria
- Easily extract ring area data
out of Scan/US for input into site selection models or further
number-crunching in spreadsheets
If you've ever sat in front of your
PC for hours running site reports for dozens, hundreds, or even
thousands of sites at a time, then Site Factory is the
perfect solution for you. Not only that, Site Factory makes it
possible for you to ask questions like, "where are all the locations
in a metropolitan area with a minimum population of 'X' and a median
household income of "Y", within a 3 mile radius?"
Site Factory is designed to
process multiple locations in a single run. However, this
means that you must "give" it a list of locations to process.
You can import your location files into Scan/US in dBASE (.DBF),
Excel 3.0/4.0 worksheet (.XLS) or Scan/US ASCII format (.LOC).
User imported files--containing latitude and longitude
coordinates--are typically referred to as "point-data files" in
Scan/US.
If you have hundreds or even
thousands of addresses without coordinates, then you should consider
purchasing the
Scan/US Batch Geocoder-it
will append latitude/longitide coordinates to thousands of addresses
in a single run.
If you want to analyze a general
area without any pre-selected candidate locations in mind, you can
use the "Grid-to-Location Converter" (also included) to quickly turn
thousands of Scan/US MicroGrids into Site Factory-ready locations.
Turning MicroGrids into reference locations makes good sense, as
MicroGrids only appear where people live and work.
Formerly an "$495 add-on" feature,
Site Factory is now standard in every system sold.
Current users with valid licenses
may obtain this enhancement by simply running the latest software
update from the Support...Downloads page.
