Grapevine Lets Local Businesses Access Market Intelligence for Free!

SizeUp — a premier business data evaluation tool — allows Grapevine Economic Development to offer the power of big data to its small and mid-sized business community . . . for free. Traditionally, only large corporations could afford to hire management consultants and research analysts to gain planning insights through massive — and expensive — data collection. Small businesses unable to access or afford business intelligence have been data disadvantaged.

SizeUp changes all of that. This powerful tool levels the business playing field by providing local businesses with easy-to-understand market research based on big data, algorithm-based analysis, and super-computing. Small and mid-sized companies can use SizeUp to benchmark and rank their performance against industry competitors.

“We are very excited to offer the SizeUp tool to our local business owners, entrepreneurs, and those looking to expand or relocate,” said Steven Jones, Grapevine Economic Development Market Research Manager. “Grapevine has such a great business climate, and we are always looking for tools to better leverage success. SizeUp levels the playing field by providing smaller businesses with similar market intelligence previously only available to huge corporations. It’s the data our businesses need.”

Custom Data Tailored to Your Needs

SizeUp reveals the analytics of your sector and ignites plans for new opportunities. Data can be filtered and overlaid on custom maps, allowing business owners to explore a wide array of information in an easy-to-understand format. Demographic data transforms into heat maps, and local businesses are sorted and mapped with the click of your mouse. Once you have the data you need, you can even convert it to a PDF to download at no cost.

SizeUp empowers you to:

1. Compare your business performance to your industry competitors across multiple performance indicators.
2. Find potential customers, suppliers, and competitors.
