Overview

A leading retail intelligence provider aimed to elevate its consumer analytics by integrating more granular and real-time data. Traditional data sources fell short, offering low refresh rates and poor behavioral resolution.

By adopting Factori’s High Fidelity Mobility Data, the firm unlocked access to daily-refreshed, event-level signals from 200 B+ records. This gave them unmatched visibility into real-world movement, affluence, and interests, enabling sharper audience segmentation, better targeting, and improved retail site performance.

The Challenge

The firm faced increasing pressure to:

  • Detect shifting consumer trends in near real-time
  • Improve location-based targeting and return on investment (ROI) for retail clients.
  • Replace legacy datasets that lacked depth, speed, and demographic signals.
  • Provide clients with 360° insights into real-world behavior.

The Solution

Factori provided a daily data feed built from multiple, consented sources. The data captured each user event individually and was enriched with behavioral, device, and location attributes.

Key features included:

  • 200 B+ mobility records across global geographies
  • Capturing frequency: Once per event | Delivery: Daily
  • Enriched data: demographics, location, device, travel history, affluence, and interests
  • Privacy-first collection with clear consent and opt-ins
  • Flexible delivery to cloud, data warehouse, or analytics stack

The Results

After integration, the client saw significant improvements across analytics and campaign results:

  • 40% boost in audience segmentation precision through interest and affluence layers
  • 25% increase in campaign ROI for geo-targeted offers and store promotions
  • 3x faster turnaround on mobility trend reports (from 15 days to 5 days)
  • Enabled real-time footfall monitoring for 500+ store locations
  • Built predictive behavior models to forecast visits, enabling proactive retail planning

Why It Worked

Factori’s high-fidelity mobility data stood out for its accuracy, freshness, and completeness. It enabled analysts and marketers to:

    • Detect micro-market shifts with daily frequency
    • Personalize campaigns with a deeper understanding of consumer journeys
    • Replace manual data wrangling with automated, enriched event feeds.
    • Offer clients dynamic insights that move as fast as their consumer
