Use Cases
Buy-Side Investment Firms: Quantitative and Fundamental investment firms looking for unique spending trends for specific industries, companies, or stocks across time, demographics, channels, or geographies
Management Consulting Firms: Consulting firm was asked to help understand current consumer spending trends to inform media/advertising plans for their clients. Could not access raw transaction data due to privacy issues. Using synthetic transaction data from Facteus they were able to approximate their clients’ and its competitors’ sales and opportunities for increased awareness.
A top QSR/Coffee chain couldn’t gain insights into its competition’s sales and operating strategy to better inform its marketing strategy. Through real-time insights within Facteus data, it was able to see what other QSRs’ demographic time-of-day profile was, and saw that a key competitor was eroding market share in a specific geographic region due to opening earlier and closing later.
Retailers: Retailers usually have a solid grasp of their own data. However, they know less about their competition’s. Retailers are willing to pay for a market share analysis or competitive insight of average transactions (over time) or percentage of online vs off-line transactions.
Commercial Real Estate: Potential buyers of retail shopping areas (i.e. shopping mall, strip malls) are interested in not only the population growth trends and foot traffic that surrounds these locations, but more importantly, the transaction frequency and history of consumers in these areas. These investors are willing to pay for transaction trend data that shows growth or decline in # of transactions or transaction amounts in certain shopping areas.
Data Sources & Collection
Facteus provides transaction data sourced directly from financial institutions and payments companies. We synthesize and aggregate the data to remove any Personally Identifiable Information (PII) while maintaining its statistical relevance. Using proprietary tagging methodologies, billions of transactions are attributed to specific companies and stock tickers and additional data elements such as acquisition date cohorts are added for deeper analysis.
