Competitive Insights will use foot traffic data to allow Kalibrate customers to benchmark individual locations against others in their portfolio and against their competition.

Competitive Insights is Kalibrate’s latest significant investment in the location analytics space. In 2020 Kalibrate acquired Trade Area Systems, followed by Intalytics in 2021, and invested in eSite Analytics in the same year.

Bill Dakai, SVP Location Intelligence, commented:

“We believe Competitive Insights will be a game-changer for our customers. Providing real-time insights and complete market visibility, the solution will empower brands to make smarter decisions across their location and marketing strategy to better retain their current customer base and take share from the competition.”

“Competitive Insights is the latest in a series of enhanced capabilities available in Kalibrate Location Intelligence, our GIS platform. There’s a lot of noise out there about mass mobile data, but true actionable insight comes from being able to work with mobility data through analytics to generate tangible outputs via a robust platform. Competitive Insights, taken with Kalibrate Location Intelligence, will enable our customers to do exactly that.”
