About

Retail Spotlight

Retail Spotlight was founded to shine a light on independent retail store data so brands can capitalize on the opportunity this sector offers.

In the beginning...

InTouch began in 2019 to solve a clear problem: independent convenience data was fragmented, inconsistent, and too small to rely on.

We built the first EPOS consortium for this sector, bringing together multiple data suppliers and thousands of stores to create a reliable, location-based view that brands could finally trust.

The story now…

We now collect data from 13,000+ convenience stores and 1,000+ vape and pharmacy stores across the UK.

Our data is used by leading FMCG brands to understand category performance, track distribution, measure NPD, evaluate pricing, and run targeted activations. Everything we provide is built on clear, consistent, near-real-time data.
