Frequently asked questions

Can I run spatial analysis without moving my data?

Yes. CARTO sends each analysis to your cloud data warehouse to run, so it works on live data, under the permissions you already set, and nothing is copied out. Maps, Workflows, and AI Agents all read from the same governed tables.

Which spatial analysis use case should I start with?

Start with the decision you make most often, or lose the most on, such as where to open the next site, which policies carry the most risk, or how to balance territories. Open that tile, see how teams answer it, then bring the data you already hold.

What data do I need for spatial analysis?

Start with your own customer, asset, or transaction data in your cloud data warehouse. Then add demographics, points of interest, mobility, and hazard data from the Data Observatory, all combined where the data already lives.

What are the most common spatial analysis use cases?

The most common are site selection, catastrophe modeling, network deployment, geomarketing, territory planning, fraud detection, market analysis, risk analysis, data monetization, and supply chain optimization. Each starts from a decision about where, and CARTO runs it live on your own data.

What is site selection analysis?

Site selection analysis ranks candidate locations by demand, competition, demographics, and accessibility, so you open where customers are. CARTO scores every candidate on the same evidence, live in your cloud data warehouse. See how site selection works in CARTO.
