Purple is an intelligent platform for physical spaces. Using social engagement, marketing tools and location analytics, brands get digital insights using data from real world spaces, such as WiFi data. What it gives them, is better understanding of their customers through our best in market analytics, and the ability to create a highly personalised experience for people in their venues. Purple works as a cloud overlay to Cisco CMX and Cisco Meraki technology. While the Cisco CMX and Cisco Meraki Dashboard helps CIO’s and CTO’s understand more about their business, the Purple Platform provides CMO’s and marketing teams with the kind of analytics and marketing tools that they are used to from Google Analytics - for their websites. By combining the data captured by the Cisco CMX / Cisco Meraki access points with additional information collected through Purple’s social login process, we have created a market leading solution. In addition, if the customer chooses to use the Purple API, they can combine data to create a single customer view of customer behaviour on and offline, and demographics and behavioural data that they have never been able to access before.
Enterprise customers have the option of four product lines: WiFi, Location, and two new offerings; Fusion and Provision (BYOD)• Purple WiFi is the well-established guest
WiFi, analytics and marketing product. • Purple Location is a location based services
product that works to actually pinpoint devices, enable heat mapping, provide zone flow information and enable journey management. Purple’s platform utilises the Meraki CMX API to provide many additional location features for customers, including journey planning, wayfinding and our communication planning tool - ‘LogicFlow’.
• Purple Fusion is the latest offering, enabling connection to any type of data source, which can then be analysed and actioned. A variety of different data sources will be utilised to harvest information about any physical space.
• Purple Provision is a commercial product more suitable for businesses, enabling a completely secure guest and staff WiFi environment. This uses automatic certificate provisioning instead of WPA or other encrypted WiFi SSID’s, which are intrinsically insecure for a BYOD environment.
