Major Exhibits

1. Information Infrastructure Solutions

• - PROMO CORE®: A comprehensive system for managing promotional information within the retail sector. PROMO CORE® centralizes promotional data, facilitating efficient operations and measuring the effectiveness of promotional strategies. Upcoming features include enhancements in data aggregation, landing page creation utilizing registered product information, and AI-driven support for promotional planning. These improvements aim to foster rapid and precise promotional activities based on data analytics, elevating promotional strategies within the retail landscape.

2. Customer Attraction Solutions

• - Shufoo! AI: This next-gen promotional support AI tool, developed by ONE COMPATH, leverages accumulated data from electronic pamphlet services to analyze and structure information. The integration of AI and OCR technologies streamlines the entire process of planning, production, and improvement, while also visualizing customer behavior from pamphlet viewing to store visits through Shufoo! Visitor Tracker. This data-driven approach aids in maximizing promotional effectiveness and enhancing the overall success of marketing campaigns for various companies.

3. In-Store Solutions

• - Electronic Shelf Label Solution: This solution enables the digital display of product prices and promotional information in-store.

A demonstration will showcase LED blinking features to guide customers effectively in locating desired products, ensuring an interactive shopping experience.
