Our story
We got tired of watching good businesses fly blind.
We built sharematrX because the data that decides who wins in business was locked away behind expensive research contracts — and the people who needed it most never saw it.
Where this started
Walk through any township or suburb and you'll meet people who work harder than anyone — the aunty running a tuck shop, the young guy with a car wash, the family bakery that's been open for twenty years.
They make big decisions every single day. What to stock. When to open. Whether to take the risk on a second shop. And almost always, they make those decisions on gut feel — while the big chains down the road have whole teams telling them exactly what customers want.
That never sat right with us. Hard work deserves good information. So we built the tool we wished those people had: something simple, that answers the question "who's buying, and where?" for any street, in any city.
sharematrX is for the dreamers who can't afford to guess wrong.
What we believe
Markets don't live in countries. They live on corners.
A national average tells you nothing. What sells in Sandton dies in Soweto. What flies in Umhlanga sits on the shelf in Pinetown. The real story is always local.
Big brands shouldn't be the only ones who know.
Global players pay research firms fortunes for this intel. The spaza owner, the franchisee, the category manager with a tight budget? They get guesswork. We think that's broken.
Every search is a person with a need.
Behind every number on this site is somebody hungry, curious or ready to buy. We track searches because they're the most honest signal of what people actually want.
