“We are very proud to be joining this incredible team on its journey.”
Nexite has created a radio-powered tagging system and corresponding data platform that connects physical merchandise to the Cloud to help read and analyse information related to tagged items.
The patented, battery-free NanoBT tag is designed to offer ‘frictionless’ customer experiences such as secure mobile self-checkout, seamless returns and seamless click-and-collect services.
Through this, Nexite aims to drive omnichannel sales and enhance the in-store experience for customers.
Nexite co-founder and CEO Anat Shakedd said: “We’re providing complete transparency into the physical sales funnel and by doing so, we’re creating a lexicon for in-store intelligence to optimise sales per square meter based on customer engagement data.
“We’re introducing terms normally associated with eCommerce like abandonment, engagement and conversion into the physical realm.
“This type of data has never before been accessible and now it’s paving the way for retailers to navigate digital together with brick-and-mortar commerce.”
