Online Software AG supports Media Markt in China

Weinheim/Shanghai, 29 November 2010: The first Media Markt in China is opening with the customer pitch ‘Made in Germany’. And with the official seal of the local authorities. The system that has already been successfully implemented in many European installations, PRESTIGEenterprise for PoS-advertising (placard and label printing) has also been adapted to the requirements of the Chinese market in the shortest time. This means from the translation of the screen displays to the integration in the local Oracle Retail ERP for prompt price updates with the automatic generation of individualised, section-based information. Along with the localisation of the application, another big challenge required mastering: professional customer pitches and advertising in the Media Markt stores require comprehensive and consistent data. And this particularly in the area of innovative “consumer electronics”. Yet this kind of database was not available for the Chinese market. A solution in this context was offered by the PoS communications solution PRESTIGEenterprise: in the weeks before the opening in Shanghai, more than two dozen employees were required to gather the data of over 25,000 electronic items, and to professionally enter them in the price communication and advertising system PRESTIGEenterprise. Just in time at the opening of the first Media Markt in Shanghai – stretching over 9.500 sq. m. – they are now able to access the most detailed data material in China, from the focal length of the digital cameras, to the pixel resolution of modern LED TVs, to the revolutions per minute of the washing machines. This data is managed centrally by the PRESTIGEenterprise software system and printed in the required form of media, for instance, as a small A7 shelf label or as an A4 stand-up display. Individualised advertising at the touch of a button in all of the 28 departments of this unique hyper market for electronics – and something unique in the Chinese market place, for which this kind of price communication and advertising represents a brand new form to address customers. Yet what is the relevance of the official seal? In the Chinese market it is necessary for selected customer information, including price labels, to be approved by the authorities. So every label is given a stamp which displays this approval and the employee who is responsible. Transparency in the Chinese style.

PRESTIGEenterprise has been honoured in the s.Oliver project

Weinheim, 12 March 2010: The reta europe award 2010, presented by a selected expert jury of the EHI Retail Institute as part of the EuroCIS, has been awarded to the s.Oliver fashion label in the « Best Customer Experience » category, thereby honouring the exceptional  Digital Signage concept of the two technology partners, Online Software AG and Vis-à-pix GmbH. The jury, comprising European as well as American retail experts, awarded the digital PoS advertising for the play-back of gender-specific advertising clips by the PRESTIGEenterprise software using the interactive VISAPIX facial recognition. Using the concept developed by technology partners, Online Software and Vis-à-pix, the s.Oliver fashion label is extending the store TV of its branches. The system which has been developed recognises the gender of the observer and shows films containing information about the new collections, customised to the corresponding target group. « This excellent solution brings a new quality to InStore TV« , promises Jürgen Berens von Rautenfeld, CEO of Online Software, whilst emphasising: « Gender-specific Digital Signage reduces dispersion at the Point-of-Sale. Men and women get to see only the advertising clips of the current collections that may be relevant to their purchase, taking into consideration their gender. » The fashion company s.Oliver, with 2,360 shops in 30 countries, envisages placing the displays in store areas where a high degree of attention by the customer can be expected – such as in waiting zones in front of escalators and in the vicinity of changing cubicles. And this is how it works: if a customer approaches the display, the People Attract video picture evaluation analyses the gender and plays back complementary advertising. People Attract recognises the number of persons in front of the display, their gender and the attention span of the digital display, and controls the interactively play-back of the clips accordingly. Work in progress by the developers: extending the software to recognise age. In this manner, s.Oliver is targeting specifically the interaction with the customer: « We start the play-back the spot always with a short delay« , explains Dr. Quirll, head of Commercial International Retail.  « The customer should notice: « This is my program! This spot is now running especially for me. » « The software solution, PRESTIGEenterprise with People Attract, deployed especially for s.Oliver, is the first of its kind that offers a data privacy certificate issued by independent experts« , emphasises Engelbert vom Kolke, CEO of Vis-à-pix GmbH. All video recordings for the situational gender recognition, as well as the subsequent advertising effectiveness analyses, are made anonymous and cannot be allocated to individual customers. For statistical analyses as part of advertising effectiveness analyses anonymous usage figures only are prepared and saved. The Independent Centre for Privacy Protection in Kiel (ULD) has allocated the ULD data privacy seal as the first company in this line of business to Vis-á-pix GmbH for the People Attract Software. Hereby, Online Software AG and Vis-à-pix GmbH are taking on a leading role in the Digital Signage market with this excellent solution.
