Benchmarking in a nutshell — save time with every step

Get business-critical performance insights at segment, product, or SKU level — fast and independently.

Comprehensive performance insights at the segment, product, or SKU level are essential for your business. Whether you're launching new models, managing promotions, or optimizing against competitors, understanding your competitive position, distribution, and pricing is crucial.  

Previously, this analysis was complex and time-consuming, often requiring assistance from GfK experts. gfknewron’s benchmarking capabilities change that. Now, you can perform unlimited analyses independently and swiftly. Our clients have reported time savings of up to 30%.
