AreaMapper is a tool which can help you prepare your business data for use in the CleverAnalytics platform. AreaMapper computes geometric intersection between points and polygons (areas) and then adds ID's of polygons to the points table if an intersection exists. Example scenario could be mapping points of your customers to administrative units. Then you can calculate metrics of your customers in context of city districts, cities, counties and so on (e.g. count of customers in each city).
