Finding and acquiring new commercial sites at speed with EG Group

The opportunity: faster site-finding

The solution

To accelerate their team’s proactive site finding, Euro Garages turned to Nimbus. As soon as they had a trial of Nimbus, they realised it was the perfect tool to bring all the data they needed into one place.

Within just a few months of using Nimbus, the team is saving time, improving efficiency and identifying more opportunities than ever.

In fact, it’s a vital tool in their day-to-day work. It helps them to identify the right sites, make contact with landowners, and ultimately quickly make more accurate and data-driven decisions.

Finding the best sites in the right location with the required traffic flows

They have specific criteria which Nimbus can filter - 20,000 traffic movements per evening.  This is essential data for Euro Garages to have before considering a site in order to understand if it’ll receive enough customers to be profitable.

Assessing commercial viability

The brands Euro Garages work with need to be confident that a site will match their audience with enough footfall to make the site profitable. Nimbus’s data around values in an area is useful to gauge demographic profile (and disposable 
income levels) and, therefore, site suitability.

Saving significant time

While Euro Garages could find data on planning history and flood zones manually, by using Nimbus the time savings are huge. All the data is packaged in one easy-to-interpret platform and the cost is the same too. 

Quick board approvals

Nimbus allows Euro Garages to create 
professional and proactive business cases for site acquisition. And the data Nimbus provides helps to mitigate the risk of a poor investment, because all the planning risk and constraint information is provided upfront
