Which location problems can K-Stra solve?

Start from the question you are asking, not from the software. Each guide teaches the method, then shows the same steps inside K-Stra.

In short

K-Stra solves three location problems for Australian businesses today: measuring the catchment area of a store, choosing between candidate sites for a new opening, and checking whether stores of the same network compete for the same customers. Each guide explains the method first, then shows how to run it in the app.

Three guides

Which problem are you trying to solve?

  • Where do my customers come from?

    Catchment area analysis

    Draw drive-time or walk-time bands on the road network and count who lives in each one.

  • Where should I open next?

    Retail site selection

    Find where sector demand beats supply, then compare candidate sites on the same numbers.

  • Are my stores competing with each other?

    Cannibalisation analysis

    Measure how the catchments of your own stores overlap, and check it against your customer data.

How the guides work

What will I find in each guide?

Every guide follows the same order: the question in plain words, a short answer, why intuition gets it wrong, and the method in numbered steps that work with any tool.

Only then does K-Stra appear, with the same steps inside the app, a worked example, the cost in credits of that exact analysis and the questions people ask most.
