Researches for success - your success
Sincron Inova was established in 1970 as a consulting company specialising in economic aland statistical research, focused on the retail sector, and has undertaken innumerable stud-ies and surveys for businesses, institutions, and local authorities.
In 1995 Sincron was renamed Sincron Inova to highlight our commitment to innovate retailanalysis and market research through new, up-to-date and creative approaches.
Sincron Inova‘s mission today - as for Sincron - is to support the retail industry players in rela-tion to their investments and strategies by providing them with value-added estimates andsimulations.
Products are the same: feasibility studies, forecasts and estimates, simulations, locationalstrategies of one or more competitors, perceptions and expectations of consumers, theeffects of competition. But the approach is more sophisticated and very innovative.

Sincron Inova has essentially two types of approach to market studies: quantitative and quali-tative.
On the first (quantitative) the fundamental choice has been for many years, to create, testand apply Mathematical Models, the only ones that, thanks to the power and speed of thecomputers on which are activated, allow to simultaneously consider a large number of vari-ables of Supply and Demand influenced by the road system that links to one another.
Some of these Mathematical Models have now become “standard” (eg. Those called Over-lap and Gravity), so that their use can be delegated and offered directly to customersthrough a technologically unique support: VirtualMarket online.Others can be created “tailored” to address particular problems.
The second (qualitative) the choice is to study the behavior, perceptions and expectations ofclients and potential customers through surveys (face-to-face and telephone).
The opportunity that Sincron Inova has had to carry out a lot of these in recent years allow tohave useful benchmarks to capture any regional differences, which can be “justified” by thedifferent market situations and analyzed using mathematical models (eg. Performa).
Sector Analysis
Micro-territorial AnalysisM

This kind of analysis aims to describe the state-of-the-artof a given sector and provides with a comprehensiveset of relevant data, in order to support developmentstrategies.
ContentsSpatial economicsDemand
Consumer purchasing power & trendsConsumers’ profile
CompetitionPlayersLocation strategies
Coverage by sectors1 - Food
Hypermarkets, Supermarkets, Minimarkets,Discount
2 - Non foodFashion, Shoes, HiFi Electricals, DIY, Furniture,Sport goods, Toys, Perfumery, Home textiles,Bookstores, Department Stores
3 - Shopping Centres, Retail Parks, Factory OutletCentres
4 - Multiplex Cinemas
Territorial reference can be:Regions, provinces, municipalities, Italy
This kind of analysis that deeply studies the key data ofa specific local market is especially useful:
- to check if there are the conditions for asuccessful new investment or
- to verify which factors/variables impact on theperformance of the stores.
Contents are the same of the Sector Analysis but:- they are referred to a specific area defined by
isochrone- data are more detailed (i.e. the players are listed
one by one with their address and each location isshowed through detailed maps)

FREQUENCY OF VISITS FOR A SHOPPING CENTRE
This kind of analysis links- the clients’ data (from fidelity card, direct survey,
etc.) with- the key data regarding the consumers living in
the catchment area of interest
so to measure both- the capacity of a store to attract consumers
and- the influence of the key variables: Demand and
Offer (competitors)
Consumers’ and cl ients ’ expectat ions andbehaviours can be different from place to placeand are influenced by the perception that the con-sumers have
of your store andof the competitors’ store.
Furthermore expectations and behaviours change.
Therefore, it is crucial to study the behaviour andinvestigate the expectations.
Sample survey is the most common way to collectinformation.Sincron Inova has undertaken innumerable surveysboth on:
- clients (usually face to face interviews)and
- consumers (usually phone interviews).
Forecasting (Sincron Inova’s way)
Special FeaturesM

s
Any decision process requires a sound forecast in termsof likely results (i.e. an estimate of the turnover of a newstore).If you don’t trust crystal-gazer, than you have to rely on alogical process.
Sincron Inova’s way to answer clients’ questions (startingfrom the typical “turnover forecast”) is based on a logicalprocess, whose steps are:
1. knowing the “competitive capacity” of a store (seePerformance Analysis)
2. knowing the key variables of the market (see Micro-Territorial Analysis)
3. transform the key variables of the market in numbers4. insert these numbers in various gravitational models5. apply these models to new locations (with a cautious
approach)obtaining the turnover range estimate.
This logical, rational, approach means that Sincron Inovacan forecast “only” the turnover for players which have atrack record.Do this mean, therefore, that Sincron Inova cannot fore-cast the turnover for a new type or format of store?Yes, because Sincron Inova is not the crystal-bowlsdepartment.
In this case, Sincron Inova can tell you a lot of thingsabout the consumers’ wishes, behaviours, shopping pat-terns, criteria in choosing a store, differences dependingon sex, culture, age, wealth, and so on (see SampleSurvey), but cannot tell you which will be the turnover ofyour brand new store.
Models - statistical, econometric, probabilistic and gravi-tational ones - are our “professional passion”.We are constantly focused on goals. Sincron Inova‘sdatabase is unrivalled and we work hard to maximize thepotential of our business tools, in order to provide our cli-ents’ with a real competitive edge.We really care: that‘s why we are different.

Geo-Marketing? Yes, but not only!What makes VirtualMarket® a unique and absolutelyinnovative product - overrunning by far the traditionalgeo marketing outputs - is the possibility to make sophisti-cated elaborations, simulations and forecastings, inter-actively and always in real time, like:• analysis of the overlapping between the catchment
area of one store and the catchment area of oneor more competitors
• analysis of the overlapping between the catchmentareas of a number of stores of the same brand, someasuring the “cannibalization risk”
• analysis of the best one among different locations in thesame geographic area (best location)
• turnover estimate of a new store, applying gravitationalcurves which parameters can be chosen directly fromthe user
• management of the data about customers, collectedin one or more stores (ex Fidelity cards), referring andcorrelating them to the market’s information.
VirtualMarket® on line: Value for money!• There is no need to install any software, so it doesn’t
require an investment.• It can be activated, 24 hours on 24, 365 days a year,
from any computer connected to internet.• Data and maps can be downloaded in the most
common formats.• The purchased elaboration could be lately integrated
with other data and elaboration.
How to buy VirtualMarket® on line?Different ways can be used:• “spot” purchase, credit card payment,• preemptively arranged purchase of elaboration• subscription for a period of time - which allows an
unlimited use for elaboration tailored on the userneeds.
What is VirtualMarket® on line?VirtualMarket®, result of Sincron Inova’s researchand experience, is a sophisticated IT-Tool, thatenables to analyse a specific local market in Italy,via internet, in real time.It is enough to select a point to obtain, in a few sec-onds, maps and data synthesizing the market andthe competitive scenario.
Which data it contains?VirtualMarket® processes the database on SincronInova’s servers, that are:data from official sources:• socio-demographic data (inhabitants, families,
foreigners, ages, gender, school education, etc.)• socio-economic data (pro-capita income
and consumption, unemployment rate, motorvehicle rate, employees in main economic sectors,professional position, householders, etc.)
original data produced by Sincron Inova:• purchasing power for many categories of goods,• food main players,• market share of the main food players,• non food players (both Anchor Stores andBrand Boutiques)• density index of the retail net,• innovativeness index of the retail net.All the data are provided for isochrones, municipali-ties and postal code.The isochrones’ belt width can be set by the user.
