GfK Market Intelligence: Sales Tracking



IT Galeri is an Indonesia-based retailer of computer hardware and software products supplied by local vendors and distributors. Its stores are located in urban and suburban areas, targeted at buyers who expect high-quality service.

“The team at GfK is professional, responsive and supportive. We communicate well. GfK has evolved into a reliable confidante for discussing business planning. While I had some concerns about sharing our sales data on GfK’s retail panel, I rapidly realized the incredible value of the intelligence and the team’s reliability when it comes to protecting data privacy.”

Jo Susanto, Managing Director, IT Galeri
