NetWatch – Optimise network performance through better knowledge of site locations and characteristics.

Tracking changes to any retail network is a daunting prospect. The market is in a constant state of flux, with sites constantly opening, closing and changing brand.

A failure to stay on top of these changes leaves retailers in the dark and unable to maximise the potential of its network. Lack of understanding of the characteristics of individual sites also hurts profitability.

Informed Sources has been building, curating and providing network data to retailers for decades. Our databases show the locations and facilities of every site in the network. They are regularly updated, meaning that our clients can be sure they are looking at the latest developments.

Our clients also have the option of viewing this data through our in-house tool NetWatch. This intuitive geospatial mapping program has a series of sophisticated queries designed to draw out powerful strategic insights into the network. Users can both view our data and import their own locations into the platform.

Our NetWatch clients are able to enhance network performance through superior knowledge of the market’s makeup. They are no longer “flying blind” and are able to make data-driven real estate decisions based on fact, not hope.  

Data Capture

Innovative collection methods pool and harmonise site location/facility data from multiple sources. Our willingness to embrace the latest technology has increased the sophistication with which we can source and acquire this data.

Data Cleansing & Validation

We know to not necessarily take all source data at face value. We are adept at identifying suspect data, investigating conflicting information and eliminating errors. This means a cleaner, more accurate and reliable dataset for our clients.  

 

Regular updates

Our network data is not frozen in time. We constantly update our databases as we learn of changes to the network. Our clients can look at our data confident in the knowledge that they are seeing up-to-date, contemporary market conditions.
