Executive Summary

Retail and restaurant chains, plus brokers and landlords, lack accurate, privacy-compliant tools to predict footfall and revenue for new sites; poor location choices lead to high failure rates and wasted build-out and operating costs. Many expansion decisions still rely on heuristics or coarse demographic proxies, which is a persistent problem for roughly 60,000 multi-site groups across Europe. Build a data-driven location analytics platform that fuses privacy-safe mobility datasets into footfall estimates, catchment analysis, cannibalization modeling and revenue forecasts, offered as SaaS with integration and optional site-scoring consulting at an expected ~$60K ACV. Deliver clear site heatmaps, API links to POS/CRM, and a pilot-to-rollout pathway so brands can validate uplift before committing to full rollouts. The market is attractive now: TAM ≈ $3.6B (60,000 groups × $60K ACV) and secular trends—maturation of privacy-safe mobility data, rapid chain/franchise expansion in urban/suburban markets, and brokers using analytics to justify rent—drive demand. Market Score 88/100 and Revenue Potential 84/100 indicate strong commercial upside if you can execute. You can differentiate by providing materially more accurate footfall and revenue predictions (validated in pilots), coupling analytics with consulting to shorten procurement cycles, and serving both retailers and brokers as buyers. Key challenges are fragmented data quality across countries, regulatory/privacy compliance, and longer sales cycles in real estate, but these are addressable with local partnerships, rigorous validation, and targeted go-to-market focus.
