About Us
We help businesses build brand loyalty, responsibly.
At precisely 21:32, on Wednesday 12th October 2016 our first ever customer connected with us. We don’t know who they were, but we do know their location and what they were doing.
Our unique, patented software enables your customers to connect anonymously through your app on any device.
Beyond your four walls, at any time of the day, you can locate where they are and learn all about what they do and love.
And then you can engage intelligently through a comprehensive data analytics dashboard, using AI to provide your customers with the right offers at the right time.
Chloe’s Dilemma
| 11:01 | Chloe's grabbing her mid-morning coffee. She has a question. To access Wi-Fi, does she really need to give her name? Her email address? When she was born? We say no. No she shouldn't have to. |
| 13:28 | But the coffee chain wants to market great offers, cheaper deals and loads of free stuff. Can you do that without personal data? |
| 15:44 | All you need to know is what your customers do, what they want and what they like. Our technology helps you connect anonymously with customers, and build brand loyalty responsibly through relevant marketing. |
| 21:32 | Time for anonymous data. |
