Timely, powerful, executive intelligence built from actual engagements with your target customers.

Proprietary Data & Insight Algorithms

STEP 1

It starts with the REACH App

Every day, thousands of people use our flagship app, REACH, to track their finances. The people who use our app are part of a vibrant community with a shared goal of mastering their personal finances.

STEP 2

Our Community Generates Big Data

Our community generates over 1 million data points every week. This includes inflows, outflows, responses to surveys, and reviews of products and retailers. 

STEP 3

We Respect and Protect Privacy

We’ve made a promise to our community never to share personally identifiable data with third parties like you. This is a non-negotiable policy that makes our community trust us and makes you trust our market insights.

STEP 4

Ask, Listen and Learn from Our Community

Most stories are incomplete without the human touch. You can engage your target audiences directly via our polls, surveys, focus groups and market research workshops.

STEP 5

Build Your Market Playbook

By aggregating insights across transaction data analytics, surveys, focus groups, in-home and shopper observations, we create your Market Playbook; a step-by-step guide for your business’ customer journey, from first discovery to creating repeat customers.
