Competitive Intelligence Analysis

Know What Your Competitors Will Do, Before They Do It.

TopHawk’s unique and actionable competitive intelligence analysis solutions that make it the top Market Research Companies in India will arm your organization with strategic advantages to over your rivals.

Winning Requires a Competitive Advantage

With little room left for differentiation on product or price, companies have turned their focus to the customer experience. The business case is clear. The ability to consistently deliver a superior customer experience leads to loyalty, advocacy, long-term growth, and increased market share.

Actionable Competitive Intelligence is Imperative

Customer-focused companies that are consistently at the top of their industry embrace competitive intelligence as a critical tool in planning and decision-making. They understand that a superior system for gathering and utilizing competitive intelligence analysis allows them to:
• Understand the most important elements in the customer experience
• Anticipate, pre-empt, and react to competitors’ actions
• Strategically focus training and resources on areas that have relatively strong impacts on customer loyalty and where they underperform compared to the competition
