Visualise your share of the market
We give Retailers the power to visualise your entire development and refurbishment pipeline so you can make smarter decisions, faster.
Keep track of industry trends and benchmark projects with your competitors. Are they working with contractors with better timings? How often and where do they win or lose bids?
Take the guestimation out of your planning and strategic efforts by viewing your entire share of the market, and where you can penetrate next.
Check in on competitor activity
Gain insights into not just your own store coverage but also how they stack up against your competitors.
If your competitor is expanding aggressively in a region where retail has limited presence, this could signal the need for you to consider opening new locations or enhancing existing ones.
Uncovering areas where your competitors aren’t present can provide your business with lucrative opportunities as well.
