🌟 Introduction

Distance and Drive Time Analysis is essential for businesses that need to understand how far people or assets are from key locations – whether by road or as the crow flies. Traditional tools often require complex spatial joins, custom routing APIs, or manual calculation of distances.

The Savant Distance & Drive Time Analysis template removes that complexity by giving you no-code tools to calculate crow-fly (great circle), drive distance, and drive time between points. It’s the foundation for any workflow that depends on spatial proximity, routing logic or real-world travel times.

💼 Business Impact

This template is ideal for businesses in retail, logistics, sales, or operations that need to understand customer accessibility, delivery efficiency, or service coverage. By enriching your data with accurate distance and travel time metrics, Savant enables smarter decisions and automated workflows. Use cases include:

  • Analyzing store catchment areas to understand how far customers travel

  • Filtering customers or service locations by drive time thresholds

  • Estimating travel effort to optimize delivery zones or field sales routing

  • Scoring site locations based on proximity to demand and competition

With Savant, your teams can integrate location intelligence into daily decisions –without needing a GIS expert.
