Market intelligence and location analytics

Location intelligence for site selection and expansion — suitability scoring, competitor mapping, catchments and maintained decision databases.

Start a projectSee what we analyse

We help businesses find growth opportunities through location intelligence and geospatial analytics. We build and maintain the databases that decisions are made on, create screening portals, and run suitability analysis to choose new business locations — for example screening retail sites in regulated markets.

Typical work includes retail expansion analysis, competitor mapping, market-potential and customer-catchment studies, territory optimisation, commercial real-estate screening, and site scoring and ranking — delivered as analysis, as a maintained database, or as an interactive screening tool.
