Discount, mainstream and premium grocers, city by city
Grocers in each city sorted into price tiers.
What it does
Every quarter: the supermarkets and grocery stores in the cities you compare, sorted by xMap AI into discount, mainstream and premium, with a note on how the mix differs between cities.
In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, in Berlin, Madrid and Milan, find supermarkets, discount supermarkets and 2 more in the area, clean up their categories, write a report with xMap AI, then email the list to you.
Why it is useful
The share of discount and premium grocers says a lot about a market. The same count in every city makes them comparable.

The time it saves
