HERE – Enabling an autonomous world for everyone and driving the automotive industry forward with location intelligence

Whether you want to find the nearest restaurant or advertise deals to shoppers who are in the neighborhood or locate your friends, location-based services (LBS) have become an inseparable companion of yours. They grant users access to relevant, up-to-date information about their surroundings and allow businesses to provide current updates to their customers. Let's understand how the location is fundamental to all business processes. In today's world of mobile, wearable, location-aware, and digitally aware technologies, we are always "on" and always connected. In this ever-connected ecosystem, we have a more profound concept of location, which is more refined, instantaneous, and even predictive in some cases. Location intelligence provides the powerful "where" perspective to businesses, and propelled by the innate ability to make the best of the technologies available; the service industry is effectively grooming a new kid in the block.
