How NaviRetail uses nationwide traffic data to reveal better store locations
Read case studyReal 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.
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.
