Technology and products

The Synqera software platform uses retail Big data analysis for the generation of personalized product recommendations. It matches targeted messages with customer profiles, shopping history, real-time shopping environments (e.g., weather forecast, day of the week, etc.) and customer mood detected by facial recognition technology.

The platform supports the delivery of special offers, coupons, loyalty program benefits and product promotions through multiple channels including in-store devices, mobile apps, sms, e-mail and customized website content. The content and campaign progress are managed via a web-based back-interface.

The solution also enables the evaluation of customer responses to viewed content and accumulates statistics of interaction.

Among the in-store devices utilizing the Synqera software platform are:

  • Simplate – the proprietary NFC-enabled customer display with embedded touch-screen, camera and microphone. Visualizes targeted content in the customer checkout process.
  • Synqera Loyalty Generator – a compact printer with integrated touch-screen and card-reader delivering customized shopping lists, recipes and store maps at the store entrance. The hardware part is developed by Star Micronics.
