Measure the performance of your current portfolio and identify new locations
It’s never been more important for a retailer to understand how to optimise its store network

Location Planning
- Determine the best locations for your next store, restaurant or gym
- Reduce agency search costs for your next new site, by understanding by location, the shopper preferences by retail brand and shopping category
- Measure the impact of competitor locations on footfall to your sites. Identify your store footprint compared to your competitors and use this data to increase footfall
- Maximise staff rotas / opening times and improve product mix by tracking footfall journey flows by time of day across all streets in your stores vicinity
- Understand how far shoppers are prepared to travel to visit your stores vs your competitor stores based on real travel movements of shoppers
Competitor Impact
- PlaceDashboard provides the ability to measure how your competitors or proxies are performing on every high street and retail park across the country
- Measure your market share of shopper visits nationally, regionally and by specific location. Track the impact of new store openings/ closure on shopper visit share
- Benchmark individual store loyalty against your national performance. Identify the impact of density of competitors on shopper loyalty to your brand
- Identify which locations your competitors are succeeding or failing in, based on real shopper visit frequency, loyalty and shopper visit dwell times
- Access powerful impact analysis of national media campaigns by measuring changes in the number of store visits to your own and competitor store locations


Network Strategy
