About Us

Since 1992, Vista Information Services has been the trusted source of accurate, reliable retail sales tracking information on the hardware/home improvement industry.

Manufacturers and retailers use Vista's retail Point-of-Sale (POS) and Consumer Panel information to better sell to their customers and their "customers' customer."

Vista provides an unbiased, third-party gauge of the home improvement marketplace to its clients by focusing on an individual product category's size and trend, as well as brand performance - both theirs and competitors. In addition, analysis can be done on the demographic makeup of the consumer, including age, dwelling, ethnicity, income, etc.
