How NaviRetail uses nationwide traffic data to reveal better store locations

Read case study
The challenge

Real estate consulting firm NaviRetail wanted to create an app to help clients preview and compare future store location insights without the need to physically visit every single one. The new app would enable clients to get spatially oriented with topography, aerial street views, and then review analysis of demographics, retailer data, and traffic counts to assess the viability of each location.

The solution

NaviRetail turned to StreetLight for key traffic count and AADT data because they needed a provider that offered validated, nationwide data via an API. Traffic counts show up automatically in the map view in the NaviSites app, and users can click in to see both AM and PM traffic. The app has significantly enhanced how NaviRetail helps clients explore new retail locations, by sharing data more quickly and making meetings more fruitful before clients make critical investment decisions.

Discover everything about StreetLight’s transportation modeling product features, benefits, and more.

What is location intelligence software?

Location intelligence software gathers geospatial information about locations that businesses can use to evaluate potential real estate investments, inform operations across their existing real estate portfolio, make informed insurance decisions, and more. StreetLight’s location intelligence software helps companies understand how people, vehicles, and goods move through distribution hubs, freight routes, local streets, and points of interest to enable profitable decision-making on real estate, supply chain logistics, pricing, store operations, expansion and closures, and more.

What are the key concepts of location intelligence software?

Location intelligence software and apps deliver key insights that businesses use to make advantageous decisions for their industry. StreetLight’s software specializes in delivering granular, validated, and actionable insights on the movements of people, vehicles, and goods throughout the road network. For example, you might use StreetLight to investigate how many potential customers pass by a potential new store location. Or, you might analyze trip lengths and routing patterns to help determine the most advantageous locations to invest in charging or fueling infrastructure. For the public sector, real-time analytics may also be a piece of their traffic activity data, which often underpins location intelligence software.

How does location intelligence software work?

Location intelligence softwares are often available via a subscription or integration that provides users with on-demand access to a platform they can use to access data on locations of interest. In the case of StreetLight, subscribers can access location intelligence data through a self-serve platform, or delivered in bulk through other convenient formats like CSV, API, and ESRI integrations. This enables users to analyze location data on demand through an easy-to-use platform or integrate it into their existing programs, dashboards, and workflows to deliver insights where and when they need them.

What are the benefits of using location intelligence software?

Location intelligence software can help businesses:

  • Forecast customer demand at potential store locations and choose the most profitable real estate investments
  • Identify where adding drive-thrus or EV charging stations could help drive more visits and purchases at existing retail locations
  • Make informed decisions about hours of operation, staffing, inventory, and supply chain logistics for existing real estate locations
  • Understand risk profiles at different locations
  • And more.
