Sweet is an app built on the ArcGIS platform by Esri UK to streamline workflows and improve productivity by removing manual quality assurance steps. It allows users to design workflows that capture site data, analyze constraints, and calculate development potential or insurance exposure. Sweet saves time over traditional GIS processes, provides higher quality outputs for analysis and decision making, and aims to make GIS easier to use.

Editor's Notes
- Sarah’s shown spatial feedback and calculations while designing a new site. This next example focuses on attribute feedback and calculation in a business context…. Site Planning Scenario This site planning scenario is inspired by a talk that Homes England delivered at our annual conference in May. I’d like to create a site plan for a new housing development. It’s important that I avoid the constraints, such as conservation areas, private land or existing urban build – I can include any useful open data layers from the local council, SNH and other organisations. I’d also like to get a feel for the housing potential of the site. To stay in keeping with the local environment I’d like to maintain a similar housing density to the area nearby. Demo The interface in this example is stripped back to just cover the necessary functions. Specifically, I only really need to switch basemaps, pan around the map or create new features. Create urban density poly - First, I’ll digitise a sample training area to assess the existing housing density. Properties - Sweet reviews the chosen area telling me the area size, number of homes and density. This value will be used for the new site plan I’ll now create… Create site plan poly - I don’t need to worry about causing overlaps into constraint areas because when I’ve finished digitising, Sweet will resolve these for me. Dynamic Feedback helps me make decisions and modify my digitising while editing, and whilst I could use this to create my site without the topology rules, it would definitely take me longer. Properties - Opening the properties of this new site, I can see an estimate of the number of homes as well as our related infrastructure. Subtract using poly - If I need to add or subtract from the site that is very easy…. The properties pane will also dynamically update. So it’s much easier for users to create valid sites because of the rules we have behind the scenes.
- I started off creating a residential density area – that’s used to select addresses and calculate the density using the count of addresses and the area. Attribute rule – using an expression to create that new attribute variable for me on-the-fly Next, I created the site plan and Sweet dynamically trimmed the site plan based on the constraints in the area to ensure I’m not encroaching into them. It’s then using the precalculated residential density value to estimate the number of homes that could be built and the likely infrastructure that would be required to support them. In this example Sweet is providing an easy to use editing environment that’s helping keep my data clean, while also calculating a variety of key metrics to help me understand the potential of the new housing site. This type of workflow would also be good for a Phase One habitat survey. Sweet can be used offline so I can take my laptop or tablet into the field to capture data while onsite.
- Insurance demo Here I have an Insurance workflow built for users with no GIS experience. It shows how Sweet can help simplify complex calculations for users who probably don’t even know they’re using GIS. As an Insurance Call Centre worker, I’d like an application that helps me quickly assess customer enquiries regarding property insurance. I’d like to understand the accumulative risk in the area, the flood risk and our exposure to bomb damage. Ultimately, I need to know if I can insure a property or not. Determining this needs information that’s inherently spatial, but Sweet hides all the background processing from me. Demo The interface is even more striped back than in the Site Planning app. Find - Distaff Lane, London – I can search for an address Create - then add a point to the map on the building of interest. Sweet’s working away in the background, creating some buffers and highlighting the properties that my company already insures in this area. Properties – I quickly find out if I can insure a property at this location. The properties panel also details the insurance risk. The accumulation helps us understand the insured value of other properties in the area. I also see an assessment of the potential bomb damage risk, as well as information on flood risk. Accumulation – bit more detail on the other nearby properties we insure The bomb blast tab provides more detailed information on the potential risk at set distances from this address. Chart – can see there’s quite a lot of exposure at 400m Reports - Finally we’re able to generate a report that condenses all that info down to the key stats for future reference. Click on One New Change - If I reselect a new location in the shopping centre to the East of St Pauls we’ll see that the accumulation in that area is far too high for us to take on new customers. In this example Sweet is generating a variety of key metrics to help me understand the risk at any given location. I’m able to quickly respond to customer enquiries and safe guard my business from high accumulation or flood risk.
