Used by modern retail operators, developers, and brokerage teams

“We built defendable comps in minutes. The side‑by‑side made the decision obvious.” — [Name], [Title], [Company]

The old way

  • Manual maps and copy‑pasted lists
  • Unclear trade‑area boundaries and apples‑to‑oranges comps
  • Slow, opinion‑driven go/no‑go

With reSpots Retail Comps

  • Side‑by‑side trade‑area comparisons in 30–60 seconds
  • Drive‑time and radius that match your business rules
  • Plain‑language callouts, not just charts

Key features

Distance modes: radius and drive time

Define a fixed radius or an isochrone (drive time). One mode at a time keeps results consistent. Toggle values to stress‑test the catchment.

  • Mode options: Radius, Drive‑time
  • One active mode at a time
  • Fast re‑runs to compare scenarios

Demographics coverage

Essential trade‑area metrics for retail decisions.

  • Population
  • Median and mean household income
  • Median rent and home value
  • Occupancy and vacancy
  • Age distribution

POI proximity (competition and convenience)

Select by parent category and subcategory. View nearby retail POIs with distance context. No ratings, reviews, or hours.

  • Parent category + subcategory filters
  • Distance context (miles/minutes)
  • Focus on competitive mix and adjacency

Side‑by‑side comparisons

Compare primary vs secondary (optionally a third) using the same mode and value. Simple deltas show which side wins.

  • Consistent geometry on both sides
  • Plain‑language deltas
  • Decision‑ready outputs

  2. 2) Compare

    Review the POI list, then Compare a few candidates to open the side‑by‑side demographics panel.

  3. 3) Decide

    Scan deltas and make a go/no‑go. Re‑run with a new radius or drive‑time to confirm.

Time to answer: 30–60 seconds to a defendable snapshot.
