Brands across retailers

One brand, every retailer.

Pick any brand, listed or private, and see how it is priced, discounted and ranged at each of the 400+ retailers that sell it, including its own website where tracked, then compare it with every other brand in the same category across 4,000 categories.

  • Who is gaining shelf space?
  • Who is being pushed out?
  • Who is discounting, and who is holding price?
  • Which retailers are backing which brands with new product?
  • Is a brand discounted harder at retailers than on its own site?
  • Which retailers are adding a brand, and which are dropping it?

Every brand is resolved to its owner, public or private, and mapped into one consistent category tree, so the comparison is like for like, retailer by retailer, year by year. How to map a brand's distribution
