I've been doing commercial real estate since the early 80's, and doing all the analysis myself, but with GrowthFactor coming on we've been able to expand much faster, make quicker decisions, whether its traffic count or demographics, we don't have to dig. Whatever our needs are, it's there for us.

Helping Real Estate Managers simplify their processes

GrowthFactor simplifies the process of managing and growing your retail stores. By leveraging AI and machine learning, our platform provides practical tools to streamline operations and uncover growth opportunities for your business.

Onboard your data

Every store is unique, so your solutions should be too. Traditional, one-size-fits-all tools often fall short because they don’t address specific needs. That’s why our products are designed to adapt to your store’s individual requirements.

Set your preferences

We begin with a solid foundation: a purpose-built machine learning model. From there, we customize it using your unique preferences and data.

Gather Qualification data all in one place

Compare potential locations easily by uploading multiple addresses at once or entering them individually. Within seconds, you'll have the key qualifying data you need to make informed decisions quickly and confidently.

Dive deeper in map view

Take a look at key locations on a map. Wonder how close your competitors are or if your cotenants are driving traffic your way? This snapshot can reveal opportunities you might have missed.

Add Potential locations your deal tracker

Keep all your potential and negotiated properties up to date with where they're at in your deal pipeline with our deal tracker. As updates come in move sites from stage to stage so you keep the ball rolling.

Upload leases to extract key information and insights

Extract key information from 90+ page leases with our lease management tool. See key insights from renewal dates, landlord information, monetary concerns, and more.

Thrive and grow

What does that mean for you? It means opening profitable stores without guessing. It means cutting out tedious manual tasks. It means focusing on the bigger picture instead of getting lost in the details. And most importantly, it means more time for the things that really matter—like spending time with your family.
