Retail location intelligence platforms are using machine learning and richer datasets to help retailers evaluate potential store sites with greater precision, according to the Commercial Observer. Bain & Company's Vantage platform demonstrated how it models specific locations. For a hypothetical Los Angeles restaurant chain, the system projected annual revenue between $1.8M and $1.9M, a 25% cash-on-cash return, and 2.3% cannibalization of existing stores. The platform incorporates demographic data, competitive intensity, traffic patterns, and retailer-specific performance history. CBRE added a location intelligence specialist after the pandemic disrupted shopping patterns. Cushman & Wakefield noted brands now possess significantly more consumer data than previously. However, industry executives say technology has limitations. International tourism data remains difficult to capture accurately. Local market knowledge and street-level context remain essential, particularly in dense urban markets where conditions vary block by block.
