New partnership combines Accurat's mobility intelligence with YouGov Shopper's rich purchase, retailer and loyalty insights across Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany.

Every Accurat retail report follows the same path: know where you stand, understand why it changes, dig deeper into where and with whom, and take action.

Accurat’s Actionability Matrix helps retailers understand where they are gaining or losing market position, whether the change is driven by visitor reach or visit frequency, and which action to prioritise.

By combining privacy-first location intelligence, AI and robust attribution methodologies, we help media owners transform measurement into a commercial asset.

Accurat analysed DIY and garden retailer visits between February and April 2026 and compared them with the same period in 2025.

Campaign reporting often explains exposure, but not response. Location intelligence adds behavioural evidence by showing whether media exposure leads to real-world visits. This makes campaign impact measurable beyond delivery alone.

Retail performance is often measured through internal sales figures, loyalty programmes and surveys, but these sources only explain part of consumer behaviour.

After publishing our German analysis — later picked up by Handelsblatt — similar behavioural signals are now emerging in the Dutch grocery market.
