Abstract
Organizations often face challenges in integrating location data from multiple, siloed platforms—each with its own structure and format. For example, different space management tools build device hierarchies with varying formats and levels of granularity, creating fundamental incompatibility between solutions. Organizations often label their sites differently based on their products, making it difficult to identify duplicates and overlaps as there is no common identifier for a given site or location. Moreover, organizations may need to perform extensive manual validations to ensure optimal integration with space management tools. The additional layer of verification adds complexity and increases the risk of configuration errors that can compromise the quality of unified insights. To address these challenges, the techniques presented herein implement a Location Hierarchy Consolidation System (LHCS) that unifies and standardizes location hierarchies from different sources into a coherent spatial model.
