Imagine that you’re a hockey parent who travels to a different rink every weekend. You like to pick up a coffee from your favourite retailer before every game.

With DMTI’s help, that retailer can create an online map that traces the shortest route to any rink, and highlights nearby or en-route locations for your caffeine fix as well!

That’s Location Intelligence!
