Project Overview

Database on warehouse location logic in 78 global cities , following a comparative meta-analysis. The following document is the summary presentation of the database:

Cartographic Results:

Interactive Map

The following map shows the last two approaches experimented to identify the ecommerce warehouses, the categories of the layers in the map show the what category each of the warehouses are actually classified in SITADEL database,

The approach is based on a list of the logistics companies workng in the E-commerce logistics, the list contained their names, then it was used to filter any establishment with a similar name.

Later the results that have an area less than 5000m² were filtered out, then the last results were matched with SIRENE database to obtain the coordinates of each of those establishments in order to map them.

The results is as the following map shows.

Of course each approach has its own issues and lacks of an ultimate verification method. This one for example included some locations that are in the middle of nowhere. Also some establishments have the area wrong with enormus numbers. And finally, the filtering process for some reason it didn’t result with the actual results that we may get if we did the filtering manually in the database frame, for example Amazon two logistics companies include more than 30 warehouses but not all of them are showing up on the map.
