Google Maps Platform’s Geospatial intelligence includes Environmental API’s such as Air QualitySolar and Pollen that can help vendors adapt to new environmental realities. Map Tiles, our highly customizable API allows vendors to customize their design interfaces and interactions unique to their brand.

How can vendors encourage a quicker and more efficient checkout process? Google Maps’ Autocomplete and Address Validation API’s make it easier to predict and correct addresses proactively, allowing for fewer delivery mistakes. Geospatial intelligence can also deepen loyalty with local neighborhood shops by identifying the nearest locations and providing a highly intuitive product inventory with our Product and Store Locators, becoming a valuable part of the customer journey.

Retailers are invested in being the best at what they do, but effective delivery is also critical to their success.
