Are you ready to see how cutting-edge geospatial intelligence combined with rich market data can transform your retail or FMCG business?

In today’s rapidly evolving retail and FMCG landscapes, having the right data — in the right hands, in the right format, and at the right time — is more critical than ever. Competitive pressures are mounting, customer journeys are becoming omnichannel, and personalized, location-based marketing is no longer a luxury but a necessity.

This is why the recent partnership between Mapidea and NielsenIQ [Read the press release here] marks a significant step forward. Together, we bring the full potential of location intelligence to retail chains and FMCG companies by combining NielsenIQ’s rich, granular market and consumer data with Mapidea’s dynamic, user-friendly geospatial intelligence platform.

The Power of Combining NielsenIQ and Your Company Data in Mapidea

NielsenIQ provides extensive, continuously updated datasets — including Trade Dimensions, Geodata Market Data, and consumer behavior insights — that are crucial for understanding market dynamics and shopper trends. But raw data files alone don’t unlock value.

With Mapidea, this data is integrated into an easy-to-use, fully interactive geospatial intelligence environment. Your teams no longer wait for static reports or isolated files. Instead, they explore NielsenIQ data combined with your internal datasets — POS sales, CRM, loyalty programs, inventory, and more — directly on dynamic maps and dashboards tailored to their needs.

This integration empowers every department to autonomously access the data that matters to them, fueling smarter decisions throughout the retail and FMCG business lifecycle — from market analysis and store network planning, through targeted marketing campaigns, to inventory and supply chain optimization.

Concrete Use Cases Driving Value Across Retail and FMCG

1. Store Network Optimization & Expansion
Combining NielsenIQ’s detailed market share and shopper flow data with your own store sales and operational metrics in Mapidea helps retail chains and FMCG distributors identify underperforming locations, pinpoint underserved markets, and optimize new site selection. Dynamic mapping of catchment areas and competitive landscape ensures smarter expansion with minimized risk.

2. Precision, Omnichannel Marketing & Campaign Targeting
NielsenIQ’s insights into consumer demographics, purchase behaviors, and channel preferences power highly targeted, location-based marketing campaigns. When layered with your customer profiles, competitor activities, and socio-economic factors in Mapidea, marketing teams can create personalized promotions that resonate both in-store and online — addressing today’s omnichannel challenge effectively.

3. Supply Chain & Inventory Alignment
By linking NielsenIQ market demand signals with your internal inventory and distribution data within Mapidea, operations teams can optimize stock levels geographically. This reduces waste, prevents stockouts, and enhances service levels, all while optimizing logistics routes based on spatial demand patterns.

4. Competitive Intelligence & Market Share Monitoring
Visualizing NielsenIQ’s continuously updated sales and market share data alongside competitor locations and your sales performance gives strategy and sales teams real-time spatial awareness. This empowers quick responses to competitor moves, localized pricing strategies, and market penetration tactics.

5. Customer Segmentation & New Market Identification
Leverage NielsenIQ’s granular consumer and household data integrated with your CRM and loyalty databases to segment customers by location, behavior, and potential. Mapidea enables visualizing these segments to uncover untapped opportunities and tailor product offerings by region.

6. Performance Measurement & Continuous Optimization
The combination of NielsenIQ’s refreshed data feeds with your internal KPIs on Mapidea dashboards provides an always-on feedback loop. Teams across the business can monitor campaign impacts, sales trends, and operational efficiency continuously, enabling agile adjustments in near real-time
