Retail footfall analytics compares visits to your stores with visits to competitors and to the shopping streets and centres around them. Huq measures any address in Germany, Austria and Switzerland in the same way. So you can benchmark a store in Munich against one in Vienna or Zurich. Retail chains use it to rank stores and react to competitor openings. No counters are needed.

The overview is a general Huq tour. For store benchmarking, focus on the Explore map. Brand locations are a layer, so a competitor's whole store network can sit next to yours. Then think about Projects. Stores in all three countries can sit in one Project and be ranked on the same measures.

  • Competitor stores as a map layer
  • Cross-visitation between your store and a rival
  • Monthly PDF reports with benchmarks

What is retail footfall analytics?

Retail footfall analytics turns visit data into comparisons. A store's footfall alone does not tell you much. You need to know how it compares with competitors nearby, with the shopping street or centre it sits in, and with regional and national benchmarks.

In Germany, Austria and Switzerland, retail chains often have stores in many cities across three countries. Benchmarks from different sources are hard to compare. Huq uses one method for all three countries and for its other markets. It shows weekly footfall, visiting vs passing traffic, dwell time and cross-visitation for each store and its rivals.

Accuracy is published by country. Huq's MAPE in Germany is 13.5% against landlord-reported footfall, Huq's best market. Huq also has 800+ validated target areas across Europe.
