By leveraging your customers’ mobile location data inside SiteZeus’ A.I.-powered platform, you can visualize their paths to purchase and identify your brand’s true trade areas within minutes.

Traditional white space analysis methods take multi-unit brand’s two to four weeks to conduct and can vary in accuracy. Waiting that long for analysis drastically slows down the timeline for opening new locations.

SiteZeus’ A.I.-powered white space analysis solution, Site Sonar, runs up to 50,000 sales projections across the US and Canada in a matter of minutes, helping brands evaluate sales potential in new markets with greater accuracy than ever before.

Whenever a multi-unit brand decides to remodel one or multiple sites, the questions is always, “What will my ROI be?” Making physical or operational changes can be costly, so it’s critical to understand how the changes will affect stores’ revenue. With SiteZeus’s portfolio optimization solution, brands can navigate these decisions with confidence.

Great multi-unit brands recognize the importance of calculated infill growth. However, identifying potential sites with an acceptable amount of cannibalization on existing locations can be difficult. SiteZeus understands this obstacle, which is why we’ve created an A.I.-powered solution making the struggle of time-consuming and unreliable sales impact studies a thing of the past. Why SiteZeus? SiteZeus’ A.I.-powered Sales Impact solution forecasts potential sales transfer with unprecedented accuracy. Our approach leverages actual customer trip data to measure cannibalization in under a minute.

Calculating infill growth has been a challenging process for multi-unit brands, as it involves finding areas with high revenue potential without cannibalizing existing stores’ sales. Traditionally, these were two separate workflows. The first step was to calculate revenue projections for potential sites, then separately test the impact of opening new stores near existing locations. This process was tedious, expensive, and usually took four to six weeks, leaving brands with questionable accuracy. One advantage of new modern techniques is using multiple market planning solutions in tandem to find the best performing markets and locations. The SiteZeus platform allows real estate teams to accurately forecast sales potential and the impact a potential site opening will have on existing locations, all in under a minute. With this dynamic duo of solutions, you can evaluate potential sites faster and with more confidence than ever before.

TAMPA, Fla. (February 22, 2021) — Large, multi-unit brands typically focus expansion around concentrated, “hot” trade areas, but when they fail to calculate sales impact correctly, they risk overcrowding the market and cannibalizing their own sales.
