Why it matters

Growth is often hiding just outside your own data.

Your sales figures only show what happened inside your business. Hansel and Gretel shows the wider market around you, including shoppers who are not choosing you, competitors who are winning them, and the local patterns shaping that behaviour.

How it works

Three intelligence layers. One clear view of growth.

Hansel and Gretel combines anonymised movement data, psychographic profiling and competitive intelligence to show not just how many people visit, but who they are, where they came from and where your market share is leaking.

Privacy-safe location signals

Show where people travel from, which stores they visit and how long they stay.

Movement data

Values, lifestyles and spending power

Customer personas add context around preferences and behaviours.

Psychographic profiling

Benchmark the market around you

Catchment overlap, cross-shopping, visit frequency and market share across your network and competitors.

Competitive intelligence

Product modules

Four modules. Every angle of your market.

01

Catchment. Your market is not a perfect circle.

Catchment maps the real organic footprint of your store using actual movement patterns, showing the geographic area where most of your customers live and work.

02

Radius. Three clear zones from your door.

Radius breaks down performance across your 500 metre doorstep, 1 kilometre neighbourhood and 5 kilometre regional footprint, so you can see how local behaviour changes by distance.

03

Rival Radar. Benchmark the market around you.

Rival Radar compares your store directly with your chosen competitors, so you can see where you stand in the local pecking order and where rivals are gaining ground.

04

Customer Cadence. The rhythm of your shop.

Customer Cadence maps return rates and purchase timing by suburb, helping you understand how often locals buy and where your most loyal revenue lives.

Competitive intelligence

See where competitors are winning and why.

Hansel and Gretel gives you a clearer view of cross-shopping behaviour, catchment overlap and relative market performance. It helps you understand whether a slow week is a market trend or a sign that a rival is taking your share.

Side-by-side comparison

Compare your performance side by side with nearby competitors.

Catchment overlap

See where their customers overlap with your catchment.

Wallet share mapping

Identify sectors and zones where wallets are going elsewhere.

Built for smarter retail decisions

Privacy-safe by design.

Hansel and Gretel uses anonymised, aggregated movement intelligence to reveal patterns, not identities. It gives retailers rich market visibility while protecting customer privacy.

No named individual profiles.

No direct identity tracking.
