Objective
This research paper aims to comprehensively explore
the application of location-based data analytics in
optimizing business processes within the retail sector.
Identify and cat- egorize common scenarios where
location data is leveraged to enhance operational efficiency
and generate business value throughout the entire retail
value chain. Examine the array of analytics techniques
employed to harness location context within retail

encompassing proprietary datasets and location-based social
networks, to extract valuable insights. Analyze the effective
utilization of location data in enhancing decision sup- port
mechanisms, achieving operational goals, and enriching
customer interactions within the retail industry. Synthesize
the metrics and validation methodologies applied in the
reviewed studies to assess and authenticate location-based
data analytics models. This research paper aspires to provide
a comprehen- sive understanding of how location-based data
analytics can be effectively employed in the retail sector to
enhance business processes and decision-making.
