Place library
Place Analytics is a fused application built on two data products. Placecast supplies visit events, dwell time, and visitor trajectories for any polygon. Popcast supplies the resident audience overlay for trade area composition. The application aggregates visits, computes trade area boundaries, and joins composition to produce the response.
Every place response carries a provenance block plus a geometry block with the trade area polygon in GeoJSON format.
What you get
- Weekly rolling visit profile: visits, dwell time, visitor characteristics.
- On-demand Placecast Select scenarios for arbitrary date ranges and event windows.
- Canonical place metadata shared across Viewcast, Placecast, and Pathcast.
When to use this Job
