Aimpoint Research and Dialogica Announce Strategic Partnership in Consumer Shopping Experience Mapping

COLUMBUS, Ohio and MILAN, Dec. 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Aimpoint Research and Dialogica announced today their strategic partnership in providing cutting-edge research methodologies integrated with non-invasive technologies to deliver real-time collection and ROI of marketing and communication activity.  The companies have merged multiple proprietary approaches to create a unique video analytics offering and customer experience optimization platform that tracks, measures, analyzes and segments shopper buying behaviors across traditional retail outlets (supermarket, mass, c-store, foodservice, etc.), OOH advertising, experiences and events.

The partnership integrates Dialogica's state of the art technology platforms with Aimpoint Research's Fusiontm methodology to capture and contextualize the rational, functional and emotional drivers explaining the consumer path to purchase:

• Aimpoint CXOtm (Customer Experience Optimization) combines multi-disciplinary research methodologies with video analytics turning IP security cameras into a visual auditing and business intelligence tool capturing traffic metrics and heatmaps of a monitored area (Eye in The Skytm)
• Dialogica Dianalyticstm video-analytics platform utilizes micro-cameras and other technologies to trace the shopper's path from entrance to shelf to final purchase (or lost purchase) capturing interactions, mood, dwell time, demographics and responses.

These non-intrusive and privacy compliant technologies can be combined with internal sales data and transferred into an on-line dashboard displaying real time metrics tracking promotional and advertising effectiveness, space allocation, new products, planogram effectiveness, etc.

"Technology will continue to be a key differentiator in the ability to capture, track and predict consumer behavior and this platform provides a comprehensive set of metrics to measure the real-time effectiveness and ROI of marketing and communication activities."
