At the Local Data Company, we have been collecting data on Britain’s retail locations since 2003, producing detailed and accurate insights into the changing physical retail market. Our field research team physically audits every location across GB on a bi-annual basis to capture up-to-date information on a range of metrics. This work has resulted in 10 years of insight into activity across 700,000 retail and leisure units.
This data is what lies at the heart of our online insights platform - Local Data Online.
Via a range of dashboards, users can filter searches to access data that they need immediately. Dynamic mapping across the tool provides intelligent and flexible location analysis, which can be drilled down to micro geographies. Users can search by store category to understand sector-specific trends across regions or location types. Downloadable reports provide in-depth analysis of locations and sectors which can be taken offline, saving time and resource.
