    How it works

    Same address. Different category. Different answer.

    ZAANDAM
    Same listing, two categories scored
    81%
    Leisure & Entertainment
    49%
    Food & Beverage

    F&B is oversupplied on this street. L&E is whitespace. Same address, 32-point gap.

    UTRECHT
    Same listing, two categories scored
    90%
    Home & Living
    55%
    Fashion

    On a street that is nearly half fashion stores, Home & Living has zero same-street competitors.

    HAARLEM
    Same listing, two categories scored
    75%
    Fashion
    0%
    Food & Beverage (permit blocked)

    Permit fit is checked instantly. Operators know in seconds — not after weeks of due diligence.

    CASE STUDIES WITH DUTCH OPERATORS

    Tested on decisions already in motion.

    Case 01 · Institutional Pilot · Zaandam
    BIZ Stadshart Zaandam

    Street-level scoring for a live retail district.

    • 30-point affordability gap between two adjacent streets — invisible without structured scoring
    • Same listing scores 81% for one category and 49% for another — business category choice drives the outcome
    • Permit fit surfaced instantly across every vacant unit, before any lease conversation begins

    Every vacant unit in the district now carries a category score before tenant matching begins.

    CASE 02 · PILOT · HAARLEM

    Prime footfall, wrong category — the data said so first.

    High footfall city · Fashion-saturated supply · 21 listings analysed
    • The highest-footfall street in the city scores below 50% for Fashion — 76 same-category competitors pull the street fit down
    • The same street scores above 85% for Sports & Fitness — the thinnest supply category in the city
    • Permit fit is checked across all vacants in one pass — operators know what's viable before they visit

    CASE 03 · PILOT · BREDA

    Two listings, same rent, same city. 17-point gap.

    Strong footfall city · F&B-saturated supply · 17 listings analysed
    • Korte Brugstraat scores 83% for Fashion — zero same-category competitors, strong street fit
    • Halstraat scores 66% for the same category — five competitors and a denser tenant mix erode the score
    • The intuitive pick and the analytical pick are different streets. Shareloc shows you why.

    Case 04 · Custom Expansion Project · Eindhoven

    Shortlist of two. One clear answer — once the ecosystem and growth picture came into view.

    Premium fitness business category · Catchment-level scoring · Comparative analysis
    • Operator had shortlisted two locations in the same city using area-level tools. Both looked viable on the surface.
    • Address-level scoring mapped catchment demographics, accessibility, competition pressure, and neighbourhood growth pipeline for each address — signals area-level tools do not reach.
    • Location B scored 6.8 points higher — not because of footfall, but because of demographic precision (target women aged 20–40 within cycling distance), a 30-min free parking zone vs. paid parking only, and a growth pipeline score of 96.3 vs. 50.3 — driven by a 333-unit residential development adjacent to the site.
    • The ecosystem and growth trajectory changed the picture. The intuitively stronger location was not the analytically stronger one.
    • Operator used the output to align internal stakeholders and defend the final location choice.

    The gap is always at the final step — comparing specific locations within the same area. That's currently done manually. You sit in front of the site and observe.

    Our location research takes around eight weeks — manual, agent-dependent, and hard to validate.

    H-Hospitality · EMEA

    “

    We've closed restaurants with solid customer numbers. A busy location isn't enough — rent, permits, and competition all have to align.

    There's no centralised data. You rely on intuition, what agents tell you, and what you see on the street.

    The data is scattered and difficult to gather. A unified platform would reduce manual work and improve accuracy before you commit.
