interests and needs performed both online and in the physical bank office could be efficiently identified, managed and resolved.

For privacy and data security reasons, our solution is ready to be deployed as a Virtual Appliance on clients’ premises.

1. PRESENCE DETECTION

Bluetooth Beacons will detect the presence of your customers close to the bank, before they enter your branch.

Clients will be notified that one the branches of their favorite bank is in the proximity and, when available in the system, they will get reminders about

the scheduled payments or other transactions they usually operate.


2. CUSTOMER ID RECOGNITION

By integrating our APIs with the bank own CRM, the solution owner will match the online and offline identity of the client and will know precisely his identity, his relationship history and profile, interests and customer behavior.

The branch personnel will know precisely the personal profile data of the customer, when they will interact.


3. WELCOME INTERACTION

When customers enter the branch, they get a Welcome message and, optionally, a short presentation of the available services at the location.

They could choose the services they are interested in from a digital menu.


4. DESK AND CLERK ALLOCATION

Based on his choices and personal profile, each visitor will be allocated to a specific desk and bank officer. The customer will receive a message about the

availability of his account manager or of the requested specialist, the desk where he should arrive and the estimated time to wait to be served.


5. NOTIFYING ACCOUNT MANAGERS

When a customer enters the bank and choses desired services from the menu, his personal account manager will be notified about his presence and

could introduce in the system the time needed to be available. Appointments can be fixed days before the visit and the customer and the

account manager will receive just a reminder to be there in time.


6. TAILORED FINANCIAL OFFERS

Based on the transactions history and other personal data and previous activities and options, visitors waiting at the premises will be profiled and

will receive personalized products and service offers, coupons, discounts and other rewards, but contract drafts or other documents to be signed as well.

They also can get simulations and estimates for potential transactions, deposits or credits. The bank could use various tactics, like dynamic pricing,

account optimisations and other commercial techniques.


7. UP-SELLING AND EDUCATION

Customers can use waiting time to pay their monthly invoices, by using the branch services. Based on their payments records, the bank will know what

type of services do they pay for every month and will inform visitors on how they can manage better their usual operations.

Re-financing some credits could be a good business opportunity as well. Multimedia educational content can be delivered to the mobile devices of the waiting customers, based on their profile, offering the opportunity to

immediately activate new services, options, settings and preferences.


8. CROSS-SELLING, NEW INCOME

By placing beacons on various commercial locations, the bank can encourage customers to use their financial services to get advantages like discounts, coupons or bonuses. For example, customers could be informed exactly in the moment of payment that, if they use a specific credit card, they could benefit from special offers or commercial opportunities. At the same time, retailers, hotels, venues or other commercial operators will optimize their

financial flows, by reducing the number and duration of bank transfers.


9. BRANCH ANALYTICS

By using a Bluetooth Beacons network, banks will gather very important quantity of high-quality data related to their customers’ behavior and to better understand and anticipate needs, flows, rush hours, profiles and resources involved to better satisfy all customers. Duration of each visit, number of monthly visits, the busiest days and time intervals, types of transactions, time to deliver a specific service, waiting time, all these

coordinates can be precisely measured and actively improved and optimized.


10. SATISFACTION SURVEYS

All customers will be invited to evaluate their experience, at the end of the visit, by using a short and interactive satisfaction survey. Beacons at the exit

will confirm that the visit ended and the cloud platform will launch the survey module. The information about the quality and efficiency of the bank

services will be as accurate and objective as possible, being collected immediately after the direct interaction at the branch.


11. MOBILE PAYMENTS

By placing beacons on your teller desks or at your own ATMs, mobile payments can be done by using only the own devices of your customers.

Our technology can replace the need to use a card to access the ATM, by using the proximity capabilities and the secured data transfers

via mobile and cloud platform.


12. CONTEXTUAL ADVERTISING

Create value from the location information, by allowing business partners to use your Beacons network to broadcast commercial messages for their

mobile app users or by distributing targeted advertising via your mobile app. Tactics like Retargeting and Push Notifications (geofencing, time-based or

visit-triggered) are also available, by using our CMS platform.
