Overview

Insights combines first-party Higher Origins activity with observed market and public license information. Use it to understand engagement, sales and transfer activity, retail shelf presence, geographic access, and possible outreach targets. Every report should be read with its time window, source, freshness, and membership boundary in mind.

Open Insights for the selected business.

Report groups

  • Overview includes Snapshot, Trends, and License Context.

  • Engagement includes Summary, Pages & Content, Products & Menus, Acquisition, and Audience.

  • Shelf Intelligence includes Footprint, Retailers, Products & Pricing, and Changes.

  • Opportunities includes Retailer Matches, Assortment & Chain Gaps, Geographic Gaps, and Outreach.

  • Trade includes Summary, Orders, Transfers, Trading Partners, and Products.

  • Market Landscape includes Map, Licenses, Retail Access, Demographics, and Regions.

  • Data Health includes Coverage, Scrapes, Matching, Freshness, and Errors and is limited to staff or system administrators.

Time windows and sources

Overview, Engagement, and Trade commonly use a recent 30-day context. Shelf Intelligence and Opportunities use observed retailer menus whose source timestamps vary. Market Landscape uses public license and geographic datasets and should not be interpreted as proof of consumer demand. Read the date, source, and coverage language shown on each report before comparing values.

An opportunity is a lead for human review. It is not proof that a retailer currently lacks a product, wants outreach, or will buy.

Work with opportunities

  1. Filter and inspect the retailer, match reason, distance, assortment evidence, menu confidence, and freshness shown by the report.

  2. Choose Review or Add as prospect when available. The review step confirms the canonical retailer license and the evidence snapshot before saving.

  3. Adding a prospect creates Trading Partner pipeline data. It does not send a message or email and does not automatically create a contact.

  4. Continue in Trading Partners to add contacts, set stage, schedule a task, place the prospect on a route, or send a menu.

Market map

The Market Landscape map loads county and place detail for geographic exploration. Use it to compare licensed retail access and regional context. Zoom level, selected geography, and available coverage affect what is visible; absence from the current map view is not itself a business conclusion.

Access and recovery

  • Several detailed report tabs require Membership. A locked preview indicates the report is available but the selected business lacks that access.

  • Data Health is an operational diagnostic area for staff and administrators.

  • If a trade total looks wrong, confirm the selected business and inspect the underlying Orders, Transfers, Products, or Trading Partners records.

  • If shelf evidence looks stale, use its observed date and source before acting and verify the retailer directly.

  • If a saved opportunity is missing, search Trading Partners and Archived for the canonical retailer before adding it again.

  • Trading Partners: save opportunities as prospects and manage outreach

  • Marketplace: review the discovery experience that insights can support

  • Orders: understand the commercial activity behind sales reporting

  • Transfers: review regulated movement alongside commercial records

  • Menus: inspect the shareable offers and engagement signals used in sales work
