If you have customer spotting data through store intercepts or a loyalty database, SITESPLUS™ can use that data in a variety of ways to help assure accurate sales projections. Once the data have been entered into your project, your analysts can compare their balanced model to the spotting data and make the alterations to improve the correlation between the two sets of data.
