AUTOMOTIVE ## In which micro market is a dealer missing? In the automotive sector, effective management of dealer, service, and spare parts distribution networks is critical for customer satisfaction and operational efficiency. Next Geo helps automotive companies optimize their location-based strategic decisions with its powerful data infrastructure and AI-powered technologies. THE QUESTION ON THE SECTORS PAGE In which micro market is a dealer missing? MICRO MARKET Not a whole province or district: a sub-market drawn by driving time, with its own population, household structure and competitive density. MISSING No dealer or authorised service point of yours where the demand is — or your nearest one being too far away in driving time. SAMPLE OUTPUT ### The answer is a ranked list. Five micro markets in one ranking, ordered by uncovered potential. Under the ranking, the top row opens up: what sits inside that micro market’s drive band, as six fields. A cloud of pink automotive points across the Büyükçekmece–Kadıköy frame. Automotive sales and service points along the western axis. MICRO MARKET SCORECARD Sample dealer network · 5 micro markets SAMPLE RANKED BY UNCOVERED POTENTIAL 01 Çekmeköy 86/100 NO DEALER 02 Sancaktepe 79/100 nearest 22 min 03 Beylikdüzü 74/100 nearest 18 min 04 Sultanbeyli 68/100 nearest 15 min 05 Tuzla 61/100 1 dealer in network The score comes from the micro market’s population, household and business density together with the number of competing dealers; driving time to your own nearest point pushes it up. The note beside each row says what is there today — a gap is not the same thing everywhere. TOP ROW OPENED · SAMPLE MICRO MARKET · ÇEKMEKÖY, İSTANBUL Population, 10 min drive 118,400 Households, 10 min drive 38,900 Your nearest dealer 24 min Competing dealers within 10 min Competing service points within 10 min Similarity to your successful dealers 81/100 There is no point of yours inside this micro market; the nearest is twenty-four minutes away, while three competing dealers sit inside the drive band. The last field is the output of Potential Dealer Analysis: this micro market’s layers are compared against the common location characteristics of your own successful dealers. Which product portfolio belongs here is what Dealer and Product Segmentation answers. Sample output. Figures are illustrative. A real analysis is produced from your own list of dealers, authorised service points and spare parts points. HOW WE START ### From your dealer list to a micro market scorecard. Three steps. Behind each one is a named Next Geo solution or product; there is no surprise layer in between. #### Your points land on the map Your dealers, authorised service points and spare parts points arrive as addresses; they are matched, enriched, deduplicated and verified. Customer records from your CRM can go through the same process. As long as one point sits on the wrong coordinate, everything said about its surroundings is wrong. Matching Enrichment Deduplication Verification #### Micro markets are drawn and scored Your coverage area is divided into micro markets by driving time. Population and household structure, business density, competing dealers and authorised service points are attached to each one; driving time to your own points enters as a layer of its own. Population Households Businesses Competition Driving time #### The gap list and the segments come out Micro markets are ranked by uncovered potential; the ones at the top are compared against the profile of your successful dealers, and the product portfolio that fits each is written down as a segment. The list passes into CRM or ERP over the ready API infrastructure. Micro market scorecard Micro market report Dealer segments CRM/ERP transfer FIRST THE MARKET, THEN THE CANDIDATE SITE The output of those last two steps is two analyses. Micro Market Analysis gives the market itself: neighbourhoods are classed in three steps by market share — high, moderate, low. Potential Dealer Analysis goes inside a micro market that is short of a dealer: a single candidate site, driving-time rings around it, and a dealer score out of one hundred. The two pictures below follow that order: first the market measured, then the dealer gap inside it and the single candidate site that sits in it.

Micro Market Analysis · market share at neighbourhood scale Five magenta dots scattered over a pale street map of Ankara, with a navy card at lower left carrying a dealer score of 79 out of 100 and the key to what the dots are. Potential Dealer Analysis · five candidate sites in micro markets short of a dealer If your field team then has to drive that list, visit planning sits on the Location Analysis Mobile side; on the electric side, charge point planning has its own sector page at Next Geo. The same data infrastructure runs under both. VALUES WE OFFER ### Four questions, four analysis titles. The first two find where the gap is; the next two close it. All four resolve into a named Next Geo solution or product — the whole answer is the link, and there is no separate “more info” line to repeat. Pink automotive points over navy fuel stations across the Maltepe–Tuzla frame. Two point layers over the same corridor.
