Using **indoor mapping** to gauge store capacity; identifying sites to convert to **curbside pick-up locations** or you may be considering an extensive **consolidation strategy** as part of the new normal ([as Starbucks recently announced with 400 store closures soon to take place](https://edition.cnn.com/2020/06/10/business/starbucks-closing-400-stores/index.html)).   **The decisions being made by Retailers today are make or break decisions** - with household brands, millions of jobs and public health at risk, underlining the importance of doing so in a data-driven way with extensive spatial analysis.   In this webinar, we are joined by [Matt Forrest](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mbforr/) (our Director of Spatial Data Science) and [Steph Schober](https://www.linkedin.com/in/steph-schober/) (now CARTO, previously CBRE) to discuss how Retailers can use predictive analytics for the short-term challenges ahead. You will learn:   - - Which data streams Retailers are using to plan their return to the new normal, including COVID-19 related datasets. - - How to prepare your curbside conversion analysis and dashboards to share with decision-makers at your firm. - - What kind of insights can drive an efficient consolidation strategy for brands looking to reduce their brick & mortar presence and focus on omnichannel and BOPIS.  -   ![site-selection](https://go.carto.com/hs-fs/hubfs/site-selection.gif?width=600&name=site-selection.gif)   A PDF of the slides of the presentation is also available to [download here](https://www.slideshare.net/CartoDB/predictive-analytics-in-retail-bopis-curbside). ![](https://www.facebook.com/tr?id=273642683065267&ev=PageView%20&noscript=1)
