Urban Science Network Performance
Urban Science Network Performance: Urban Science describes its network performance offering as tools for manufacturers to track how their dealer network is doing. The company says a user can view sales, market share and changes by segment, model or geography against benchmarks, and identify areas of opportunity to improve performance.

The company also describes workflow tools for task management, delivery and communications, which it links to faster network adaptability and plans customized for a manufacturer's requirements. Network performance sits beside Urban Science's network planning work, and the two share data.
NetworkPlanner is the named network planning platform. CBT News and Urban Science announced its launch, describing growth opportunity identification that pins key measures to dealer locations, analyzes performance and finds underperforming areas or coverage gaps.
It also includes scenario simulation to model what-if strategies and assess return and compliance before investing.
Mapping and visualization are described in detail: a user can see dealerships, competitor locations, EV charging stations and other points of interest, overlay measures and location data, and explore market study results by panning, zooming and querying. Urban Science also develops strategic network scenarios that recommend numbers and locations of dealerships for priority markets.
The customer for this work is the manufacturer, so a dealer meets it through the manufacturer's network decisions and reports. A Subaru page on Urban Science's site describes a dealership performance program, which shows the dealer-facing side.
A dealer principal might ask which measures the manufacturer uses to judge the store, how market share and benchmarks are calculated, how the dealer can see the same data and what the dealer's rights are regarding network changes under its franchise agreement. Those questions belong with the dealer's association and counsel as well as the manufacturer.
