PUDO or not PUDO?

Even Santa Claus may be asking himself this question these weeks. A PUDO, short for "pick-up and drop-off," is a place where parcels can be picked up or returned. Many e-commerce customers are familiar with the parcel store or tobacconist around the corner, but so-called lockers - unstaffed and available around the clock - are on the rise.

Ultimately, for logistics companies, it is about optimizing the last mile until delivery to the customer takes place. For corresponding geoanalyses, we have the "PUDOs" available as a data package for Germany.

Back to School: Education data package

So last week it happened again: Students in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg are also back at school. Traditionally, they are usually the last to return from summer vacation in the southern states.

There, however, the fall vacations are already coming up at the beginning of October. The new start at schools is known as the "Back to School Season," especially in the USA. The sales opportunities are enormous. Accordingly, large-scale marketing campaigns are being designed. The trend has long since spilled over to us.

Location factor: pop-up store in 1C location

Shoe manufacturer Giesswein has been successful with its online strategy for some time now. However, the company still does not want to do without brick-and-mortar retail. In addition to attractive and expensive high-frequency locations, they are also thinking about more affordable pop-up stores in a less visible and quieter environment, often referred to as C or 1C locations.

Closely linked to this is the issue of foot traffic. We show what characterizes a 1C location.
