Unlock trade-area analysis at scale with H3 Isochrones
Blog post from Carto
CARTO's integration of H3-based isochrones powered by TravelTime offers a more scalable and efficient method for spatial analysis, replacing traditional polygon methods with a hexagonal grid system. This approach enables faster data processing, reducing preparation and enrichment times by up to 99% without losing accuracy. The use of H3 grids provides consistent analysis units, simplifying complex spatial joins and overlap analysis. The innovation supports various modes of transport and enhances business operations by offering detailed insights into market reach, accessibility, and network planning. The new capability is seamlessly available across CARTO's platform, including low-code workflows and API integration, enabling users to conduct sophisticated spatial analyses more effectively. This advancement is particularly beneficial for sectors like e-commerce, where optimizing logistics, understanding market saturation, and strategic territory planning are crucial.
