Site selection and market planning
Analyze marketplaces to see where to expand or reduce. Tools include consumer profiling, market potential, sales forecasting, drive time, and trade area rings. You can perform demographic analysis and facility and retail site selection, create trade areas around a location, and identify a market for your products or services.

Territory design and area planning
Balance your network to help each location and territory manager succeed. Use automated workflows for territory design, location-allocation, and market penetration analyses. Locate your underperforming sites, predict how proposed locations will perform, and use multiple data sources to determine the best locations.

Target new and existing customers
Understand new and potential customer preferences and needs so you know whom to target and how to attract them. Divide customers into targeted groups. Browse and use both demographic and census data including age, income, gender, family size, and health history. Use lifestyle and behavioral data to learn what people prefer.

Data and infographics to drive decisions
Take a data-driven approach to validate your assumptions about location. Access global data for more than 130 countries with over 15,000 variables on market data.
