Whilst it is relatively easy to obtain retail sales data for supermarkets, detailed information on the convenience sector is much more difficult to obtain. At Retail Spotlight we have unprecedented access to transaction level data from a wide range of data houses working in the convenience sector.
We can tell you which products are doing well and which categories are thriving. We can break this down by region, by demographic or across the board, and offer comparative data. We can do this over time periods ranging from annual comparisons to hourly (or even minute by minute) comparisons.
We are able to take the millions of rows of data we collect each year, and extract the key information to help your business and support the decisions you are making.
We are a diverse team of people who have many years of experience of handling data from the convenience sector. We are here to help those involved in the supply of goods through this channel. We help manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers and other service providers.
