“The sector scan on flexible beauty formats gave our expansion team a clear map of which malls could take a 40-square-metre unit without crowding neighbouring salons. We still had to renegotiate one delivery window the report flagged early.”
Client stories
Evidence from scans, walks, and briefings
Comments below reference specific engagements. They describe constraints and outcomes rather than generic praise.
“Their district walkthrough of the Nguyen Trai stretch was blunt about evening footfall. Useful, even when it shortened our shortlist.”
“The adjacency memo stopped us from placing a kids' apparel pop-up beside a late-night snack court. The mix looked fine on paper until they walked the smell and noise path with us.”
“We used a format briefing to align merchandising depth after the scan. The session ran long because our buyers disagreed, but the action summary kept the next landlord meeting focused.”
“Field photographs in the pack matched what we later saw on site. That saved a second trip from Singapore for two of our directors.”
Extended note: beauty format shortlist
A regional personal-care brand asked for a sector scan of flexible beauty formats across three Ho Chi Minh City districts. The brief required units near 40 square metres with salon-safe delivery access. Field visits showed two malls could host the format without crowding existing beauty tenants; a third looked attractive on rent but shared a service lift with food waste routes at midday.
The written scan recommended pausing that third site until a separate service window could be negotiated. The client later confirmed the landlord accepted a staggered delivery schedule—an outcome the report had framed as a condition, not a certainty.
Extended note: Nguyen Trai walkthrough
A specialty grocery team booked a half-day district format walkthrough before leasing a corner unit. Evening footfall was thinner than daytime listings suggested, and neighbouring snack vendors spilled queues onto the proposed entrance at dusk. The one-page follow-up shortened their shortlist by two addresses and redirected attention to a quieter parallel street with better depth for refrigerated cases.
