Seeing Their Position Clearly: How Trioliet Tracks Competitors and Market Shifts in Real Time

3 min.

The Challenge: Competing Without a Complete View of the Market

Operating in a global and highly competitive industry, Trioliet faces both established players and
emerging challengers across more than 50 markets.
While the company had strong knowledge of its core competitors, gaining a complete and
up-to-date view of the competitive landscape was difficult.
Key questions remained unanswered:

  • Who are the rising competitors in each region?
  • How visible are they compared to Trioliet?
  • Where are competitors gaining ground?
  • How is Trioliet positioned in the market?

Traditional insights were often fragmented, delayed, or based on assumptions, making it hard to
act proactively.

“We thought we knew the market well, but we still discovered local new competitors.”
Jeroen Meijerink, Marketing Manager

As a result, competitive threats could emerge unnoticed and opportunities to strengthen market
position were missed.

The Shift: From Fragmented Insights to Continuous Competitive Intelligence

Trendata gave Trioliet a real-time, data-driven view of its competitive landscape.
Instead of relying on static reports or internal perception, the team gained continuous insight
into:

  • competitor visibility in search
  • brand positioning across regions
  • market share in digital presence
  • emerging players and “rising stars”
  • gaps in Trioliet’s own visibility

With the new insights, Trioliet could monitor its competitive position as it evolves.

The Insight: The Competitive Landscape Is Broader, and Faster, Than Expected

The data revealed two critical insights:
First, competition was broader than anticipated.
In several markets, especially Spanish-speaking regions, new and previously unknown players
were gaining traction.

Second, the market was moving faster than expected.
Some competitors had rapidly grown into leading positions without being on Trioliet’s radar.

“Some brands suddenly became market leaders. Those are the ones you need to watch closely.”
Jeroen Meijerink, Marketing Manager

At the same time, Trendata exposed clear gaps:

  • competitors ranking where Trioliet wasn’t
  • missed keyword opportunities
  • regions where visibility could be improved

This turned competition from a threat into a source of strategic insight.

 

The Impact: Stronger Positioning, Faster Decisions, Clearer Direction

With a clear view of the competitive landscape, Trioliet strengthened its market position across
regions.

Results at a Glance

  • Full visibility into competitors: clear overview of established and emerging players
  • Identification of “rising stars”: early detection of fast-growing competitors
  • Improved search positioning: closing gaps in visibility vs competitors
  • Stronger market positioning: better understanding of where Trioliet stands
  • Data-driven decision-making: from opinion-based to evidence-based discussions

Competitive analysis is no longer reactive, but a continuous, strategic capability.

 

The Transformation: From Assumption to Strategic Advantage

Trioliet no longer relies on perception to understand its competition; it sees it in real time. What started as a way to monitor competitors has evolved into a broader shift: using market intelligence to actively shape market position.

“We can now see exactly how we are positioned and where we need to improve.”
Jeroen Meijerink, Marketing Manager
