Business Points Reports
The Business Points reports allow you to quickly gather information about the businesses or shopping centers in an area. There are three different reports:
- Businesses Locations report
- Detailed Business Locations report
- Shopping Centers report
These reports only work on point layers and are specially designed to leverage the DMM shopping centers and Infogroup business point locations included in Business Analyst.
Example of a Businesses Locations Report
The Businesses Locations report shows a list of businesses in a given area. It also summarizes the sales volumes and number of employees for all point locations.
The image below is an example of the Businesses Locations report. Under Company Name, the businesses are listed by name. The bottom of the report shows the totals for the area. The Count of Business shows a total of 751 businesses, 724,440 is the total sales volume and 15,483 is the total number of employees.

Using Individual Features
You can run a Business Points report for individual features, for a whole layer, or for both options at the same time. The graphic below illustrates the output for the individual features option.
Note:The individual features option can result in duplicate point entries on reports where trade areas overlap.

Using a Whole Layer
You can run a Business Points report for individual features, for a whole layer, or for both options at the same time. The graphic below illustrates the output for the whole layer option.
Note:The whole layer approach will dissolve all polygons in the layer and create one report for all business points within the outermost boundary. Because of this, duplicate point entries, which can occur when using the individual features option, are not returned in the report.
