Location decisions are high stakes

The wrong retail location can cost millions in lost revenue and lease obligations. Yet most site selection decisions are still made with incomplete data, gut feelings, and spreadsheets that take days to compile.

  • Bad locations cost retailers $1M+ in failed leases
  • Manual research takes 8-10 hours per site
  • Data from multiple sources rarely gets unified
  • Competitive analysis is often incomplete
