Huq is location intelligence for retail, property and investment teams in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. It shows how many people visit any address, where they come from and how they behave. Huq publishes its accuracy by country: a MAPE of 13.5% in Germany against landlord-reported footfall, Huq's best market. Use it for a shopping street in Munich, a shopping centre in Vienna or a competitor's store in Zurich.

How Huq's location intelligence platform works

Huq platform overview video: a visitor heat map

Keep one of your own DACH sites in mind while you watch, for example a store on a Munich shopping street. Look for three steps in the overview. Drawing an area on the Explore map. Footfall and catchment for one address. Projects for a whole network. Could your team answer a site question in those steps? That is the test for any location intelligence platform.

  • The Explore map: draw any area, or use layers for shopping centres, brands and postcodes
  • Footfall and catchment together for one address, with travel time in km
  • Projects: monitor many sites and report to stakeholders

What is location intelligence?

Location intelligence means using data about places to make decisions about where. In the DACH region the term is broad. Insurers use it to score risk at an address. Logistics firms use it to plan routes. GIS teams use it for spatial models. Retail and property teams use it to judge how a location really performs.

Huq is built for that last group. Its location intelligence is based on observed footfall and behaviour. For any address you see visits over time, visiting vs passing traffic, catchment by postcode, dwell time, dayparts and cross-visitation. No counters or cameras are needed.

Who uses it in DACH? Retail chains planning stores in German, Austrian and Swiss cities. Landlords and asset managers of shopping centres. Investors checking a retail brand or asset before a deal. City authorities testing whether a city centre programme works, against similar cities. All of them need the same thing: evidence of how many people a place attracts, and from where.
