In-Store Analysis

Retail Intelligence

Strategic Counsulting

The Retail Tracker

The Retail Tracker was launched in 2006 after it became increasingly evident that there was a void in the market for In-Store Intelligence for both Brands and Retailers. Our clients–retailers, brands and investors are actively involved managing their businesses to spend the necessary time in the stores, analyzing developments, the competition, and emerging trends. At the core of the firm is our constant store walking and online monitoring to deliver opinionated views, proprietary analysis and consulting advice to our clients.

Senior partners have experience working in and with consumer brands, retailers, and e-commerce companies. We communicate our assessments through written reports, active dialogue and in person meetings. We offer both a core product based on our intelligence work as well as customized analysis that dives deeper into both a client and their competition. This work includes idea generation to propose new areas of revenue growth.
