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 locations 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 demographics, retailer data, and traffic counts to assess the viability of each location.

Data-based 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. NaviRetail now more effectively helps clients explore new retail locations, by sharing data more quickly and making meetings more fruitful, before they make critical investment decisions.

Big data sheds light on state and regional park access

Read success story

The challenge

Three Minnesota public agencies wanted a clearer picture of state and regional park visitors to guide improvements to natural resource management, visitor experiences, and park maintenance. The team wanted a new data-gathering methodology that would augment the agencies’ traditional, more costly, labor-intensive manual counting and surveying methods.

Data-based solution

Researchers used StreetLight’s API to retrieve three years of park visitation data for 210 state and regional Minnesota state parks in just a few clicks. Researchers gained access to in-depth park visitation numbers, broken down weekly across parks statewide. This filled in major information gaps created by traditional manual counting. Individual park managers also did not have to do specific program research–greatly reducing costs–before implementing new ideas.

Powering 20,000+ projects per month

StreetLight provides unprecedented detail for park managers, such as weekly data which is so much more detailed than survey or manual counts. With StreetLight API, we could run codes for all 210 parks in one click.
