Digital Displays will be installed in select stores, with a view to roll out to 200 plus locations in the next 2 years, based on data from current key performance indicators. Initial installations will include Smart Cooler screens, 55″ screen kiosks, and end cap locations that feature digital headers and shelf strip screens.
VSBLTY will utilize its DataCaptor software, camera and sensor technology with its artificial intelligence (machine learning and computer vision) to provide anonymous  real-time shopper analytics and audience impression measurement. DataCaptor will be coupled with VSBLTY’s CMS (VisionCaptorâ„¢), which delivers custom-triggered content based on who the camera “sees”, either by age or demographics. Additional attributes can be added as new machine learning development is completed.
The primary long-term goal will be to maximize in-store revenue between current and future trade and media programs and the collection and optimization of first party data. The program can also deploy marketing tactics developed in conjunction with the LuLu loyalty program.
