DIGITAL BOUNDARIES AS THE BASIS FOR YOUR DATA<\/h2>\n

Digital area boundaries help you to display and analyze spatial areas on a map. They can easily be matched and attributed with company internal data (e.g. sales figures, sales areas) or SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC DATA<\/a> and PURCHASING POWER<\/a> data from MB-International.<\/p>\n

Area boundaries are an essential tool for all businesses today. As a seamless collection of spatial data which enables cross border analysis valid area boundaries are needed to accurately analyze a store or business locations. They also provide a valuable input into targeted marketing campaigns and the visualization of their impacts. Without proper and correct area definition, whether these are POSTCODE<\/a> or ADMINISTRATIVE BOUNDARIES<\/a> the key statistics that impact a business performance cannot be properly measured. In some cases it\u2019s even more critical knowing what\u2019s happening in the direct vicinity of a location than on a admin or post code level. The so called SMALL AREA MAPS (MICRO AREAS)<\/a> <\/a>are ideal for these applications as they are generally smaller subdivisions of the postcode or administrative boundaries.<\/p>\n

GLOBAL BOUNDARY LEVELS<\/h2>\n

POSTCODE (ZIP) BOUNDARY MAPS<\/a> 
\nWorldwide postal areas are geographic boundaries that define the geographic area for each postcode | Example of Spain: 5-digit Postcode Areas<\/p>\n

ADMINISTRATIVE AREA MAPS<\/a> 
\nMunicipality boundaries plus the higher levels like provinces and state boundaries | Example of Spain: Municipios-boundaries plus the higher levels Provincias, Comunidades and Agrupaciones<\/p>\n

SMALL AREA MAPS (MICRO AREAS)<\/a>
\n<\/a>Could be subdivisions of the postcode or administrative boundaries like census areas | Example of Spain: Census Sections, a subdivision of the Municipios<\/p>\n
