What users are saying
I've been using this data to explain the recent surge in DIY channel share. Your system makes it easy to plot and compare metrics.
Robert Pietrowsky, Director, Category Management, DRIV
We use TrendLens™ to look for trends to understand business results and correlate to future outcomes. The data is all in one location – it is housed in an easy-to-use format so I can pick the specific data that we want to use. This helps with explaining business results and forecasts to our C-suite.
Thomas Tecklenburg, VP, North America Aftermarket, Dayco
As a shop owner, TrendLens™ is one of the few available tools specific to our industry that gathers industry data in one place. Without it, we would have to pay large amounts of money and try to decipher other platforms. We’ve used TrendLens™ data when writing a business plan to execute funding for a new building.
Tara Topel, Co-Owner, Topel’s Service Center
I use TrendLens™ to check industry trends and get up-to-date data. It is more current than other platforms and is specific to the aftermarket industry.
