Retail site selection software
·
Check any site in Australia or New Zealand, find gaps in your network and manage your shortlist in one platform, with weekly foot traffic data.

Up to 5 locations. No cost, no commitment.
Huq is retail site selection software for chains expanding across Australia and New Zealand. Check foot traffic and catchment at any address on the Explore map, find gaps in your store network with White Space Analysis, and manage candidates in Projects. Export comparisons to Excel, share monthly PDF reports, or send data feeds to your analysts. The same platform covers Huq's 35 markets if you trade beyond ANZ.

The overview tours the whole platform rather than one workflow. If you are comparing retail site selection software, judge it on the Explore map layers, where White Space Analysis and Projects sit, and how a site is saved. That is the day-to-day interface your expansion team in Sydney or Auckland would use.

Retail site selection software gives property and expansion teams the data to choose new store locations without commissioning a report for every site. It typically combines foot traffic, catchment, competitor locations and shopping centre or retail centre context on a map.
In Australia and New Zealand, distances and formats make this harder. A rollout might cover metro shopping centres, CBD sites, strip retail and regional towns in the same year. Each format draws shoppers differently, and straight-line distances in km can mislead outside the cities. Software that measures foot traffic at any address lets the team compare all of them on one basis.
Huq serves both sides of the team. Expansion managers use the Explore map and Projects. Analysts use CSV or Excel exports, or Parquet and CSV data feeds into Amazon S3 or Google Cloud Storage. Huq has no API. Demographics are available in selected markets.
