Ongoing data for the physical world

What if a city
were a web shop.— how would we then measure it?

Howebuy makes the physical world as measurable as e-commerce. We bring together movement, spend and experience into a true picture of how people actually move and spend — on an ongoing basis, aggregated and anonymised.

Pilot with Business Region Göteborg and Visa — Howebuy provides consumption data in 13 municipalities.
+A shifting market

The digital world measures every click. The physical one does not.

Conversion rates in the physical space can already be calculated — in individual stores with their own footfall counters, or in one-off analyses that take months and cost hundreds of thousands of SEK. Howebuy turns it into an ongoing service for entire places, city centres, municipalities and regions.

Closes the gap — ongoing data for the place
+What we do

One unified picture of a place — flow, spend and sentiment.

Flow

Movement

How people move to, from and through a place — before, during and after the visit.

Spend

Consumption

Where, when and how money is spent in the physical space — linked to geography and segment.

Sentiment

Experience

How places are perceived and what drives people's choices — beyond the numbers.

+One interface

Many sources in. One API out.

We gather data from multiple sources in one and the same Data-as-a-Service ecosystem and make it available to you. You combine and analyse the insights directly in your own tools, without heavy tech investments. Want it even simpler? Then we tailor an automated report for you, or you ask your questions directly to our AI agent.

Right now we are building the service together with a handful of pilot partners. As a pilot partner you get early access and you take part in shaping what we develop.
