Case Study: Enriching the Shopping Experience with

Precision Marketing

Retail branches are using increasingly sophisticated technologies to maximize marketing and customer service opportunities with

highly customized messaging that more precisely collects and analyzes customer data and behavior to deliver a more personalized

shopping experience

Problems

Many retail stores run signage on TVs or PCs for recycled advertising content. Those signage playersare usually managed by a store

manager instead of a centralized control center so keeping content fresh and relevant is difficult, as is the prevention of

unauthorized use of removable storage devices

Solutions

Advantech DS-080, the world’s slimmest industrial grade 4K digital signage player guarantees smooth 4K visual communication

powered by 5th generation Intel® Core™ i5/ Celeron processors. DS-080 comes bundled with WebAccess/IMM signage software

for content management and McAfee for security. The web-based platform enables users not only to remotely control multiple

displays from a centralized control center, but also to schedule content delivery in real-time. McAfee helps protect unauthorized

content and malware from being displayed or installed. To achieve precision marketing, DS-080 with its camera on top of the

display, can be integrated with advanced facial recognition functions to analyze the age and gender of customers who have

stopped by and delivers relevant ads to each shopper
