Our Clients and Services: Case Studies
McDonalds Corporation
Ongoing Enterprise GIS Support
Project Description
McDonald's Corporation uses its GIS applications to evaluate existing and potential restaurant sites throughout the United States. Sophisticated market analysis models (taking into account a plethora of data criteria) are used for evaluation. GIS-based site evaluation is now part of McDonald's business process and a required step for final site selection or modification.
Modeling and site information applications are served to internal clients across the nation via custom, corporate-specific, web-based applications developed and maintained by IGI. McDonald's has received special recognition from ESRI regarding these applications. InfoGeographics has worked closely with McDonald's as their GIS Consultant since the year 2001.
