  • Automatic, zero-effort reporting
  • Informed decisions based on current demographics

  • 3Specify which markets or geographies to include in the monthly report.
  • 4Choose your Slack, email, or other channel for the report.
  • 5Test by requesting a manual monthly snapshot and confirm the format and metrics are right for your planning.

Questions about this workflow

When exactly does the monthly report arrive?

Notis sends it before your planning meeting. You set the day and time - commonly the first Monday of the month, morning.

Can I include multiple geographies in one snapshot?

Yes, Notis compares all your key markets side by side in the monthly snapshot.

What if data for a market isn't available?

Notis includes all available geographies and notes any where data wasn't published yet. You'll see the latest for each market.
