Deeper Visitors Analysis

Additionally, PlaceSense 3.0 enables the analysis and visualization of real catchment areas and allows to understand the origin, destinations and routes of customers. With this unique feature, companies can ensure that they do not expand too close to their current branches, cannibalizing existing customers or missing out on unserved catchment areas. By enriching the data with socio-demographic and socio-economic data, users get a 360-degree view of their visitors allowing them to respond to the specific needs of their customers.

Competitive Landscaping and Location Benchmarking

PlaceSense 3.0 allows endless amounts of locations to be analyzed, including those in different cities and even different countries. This provides for comprehensive and precise competitor analysis through the comparison of competing locations. Using PlaceSense 3.0’s versatile metrics therefore enables the identification, tracking and scoring of competing locations out of several angles. By understanding the performance of multiple locations, benchmarks can be established to set goals and develop KPIs that can be easily tracked over time.

Ensuring Privacy and GDPR Compliance

PlaceSense combines proprietary machine learning and anonymization algorithms to create location insights, which are unique in their granularity and privacy protection.

Anonymization: PlaceSense only provides anonymized consumer insights for a given area or location. Neither clients nor PlaceSense can retrieve personal data from the deliverables. 

Aggregation: Businesses only receive group-level statistics for locations from us. We do not provide crowd statistics for places that are rarely visited, as this would put privacy and insight validity at risk.

Consent: We work with partners specialized in GDPR-compliant consent collection from apps. Nearly all global data companies receive data from apps based on the same consent and via the same partners, making it the industry standard.

Certifications: We employ a data protection officer who is ISO/ANSI certified as Information Privacy Professional for Europe (CIPP/E). We also received the ePrivacy seal, an industry recognized data protection certification, after a privacy audit of our business model and data processing by e-Privacy on the basis of EU law.

Fast, Simple, Accurate

Access to PlaceSense 3.0’s highly advanced visitor data is fast, simple to navigate, sleek and easy-to-use. PlaceSense quickly allows you to understand how people are behaving in and around a location, and how that behavior changes over time. These AI-powered data-driven insights truly place analytics at the heart of real-world location-based decision making.
