We get it. Suddenly your boss is in your office. “Can you quickly let me know whether this investment is a good idea?” “When?” “Preferably this morning”.


The days that you had to contact an external consultant and wait for a few weeks to have an answer are – fortunately – behind us, because with the RetailSonar platform you now can easily answer this question.

Our online platform (24/7) is the place to consultant all the relevant data you need to evaluate a location in no time at all. You combine internal sales figures with very accurate external data sources for a quick and thorough scan of locations. It’s a great way of saving time and - above all – money.

  • What are the strengths and weaknesses of my existing and future stores?
  • Is this a good location for a new branch or shop?
  • Which spending potential exists in my market segment in this region?
  • Which results can I potentially achieve in a market segment?
  • What is the social-demographical profile of my potential customer?
  • Where is my potential customer located?
  • Where are my competitors located?
  • Which other nearby retailers can gradually increase my revenue?
  • How many shops does my competitor have near my new, potential location?
  • How large are my competitors’ shops near my new location?
  • How willing are my consumers to travel to my new location?
  • How much congestion is there near my new shop location?
  • What are my primary and secondary catchment areas?

Moreover, the platform is very user-friendly and can be set up and tailored to your needs, in just a few days. And to make everything even handier, you can export all the results and explorative analyses to a PDF document or Excel file.
