TOKYO, Feb. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- transcosmos inc. has enhanced its Online Merge Offline (OMO) services scheme with the aim of offering better services to convenience stores, drugstores, DIY stores, supermarkets and others in the distribution and retail industry as well as for the restaurant industry. By strengthening its integrated services scheme for consumers, retailers and manufacturers that primarily consists of "Gotcha!mall," a platform that connects diverse genres of stores with consumers, "Yext," a solution that centrally manages offline store data stored online and "LINE Sales Promotion," an in-store sales promotion solution, transcosmos aims to help clients achieve digital transformation.
With Online-to-Offline (O2O) business model, it has been difficult to merge offline businesses like real stores with online, hence posing a challenge to businesses. OMO is a new retail marketing concept which incorporates offline business into online business, thereby creating more business opportunities and new consumption occasions and patterns. The concept was first advocated in China from around September 2017 along with ever increasing in-store smartphone payments. Now, Japan also places importance on the concept given its significance.
With the aim of strengthening its abilities to assist clients' OMO strategies, transcosmos has enhanced its services delivery scheme for convenience stores, drugstores, DIY stores, supermarkets and others in the distribution and retail industry as well as for the restaurant industry. More specifically, transcosmos has formed two new teams, "Nationwide Distributor Sales Promotion Office" under the Sales Division and "OMO Policy & Strategy Office" under the Services Division. With such functions in place, transcosmos helps nationwide chain stores achieve digital transformation. In addition, the company will also beef up its OMO support services including marketing promotions for manufacturers to help them succeed in their OMO initiatives that integrate manufacturing and sales. Below are the key enhanced OMO services by transcosmos:
● "Gotcha!mall"
"Gotcha!mall" is a smartphone-based platform which connects consumers with products and stores (business method patented). Whilst converting a massive amount of offline shopping data into valuable data that leads businesses to success, Gotcha!mall also offers numerous opportunities to consumers to enjoy shopping in stores in and out of Japan by using its proprietary gamification and algorithms.
● "Yext"
Yext offers Yext Search Experience Cloud which enables businesses to disseminate their offline store information via more than 150 search engines, social networking services (SNS) and map apps across the globe. On the platform, users can update consumer data collected at various touchpoints all at once.
● "LINE Sales Promotion"
LINE Sales Promotion lets businesses readily run LINE-based campaigns and grasp consumer purchase behavior. The API helps businesses solve challenges they face in sales promotion activities, with a focus on offline store campaigns that involve manufacturers, retailers and end users.
