CleverTap predicts the top MarTech trends for 2024

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. and MUMBAI, India, Jan 23, 2024 – (ACN Newswire) – CleverTap, the all-in-one engagement platform today announced the top 2024 MarTech Trends which will transform the way brands deliver customer experiences.

The convergence of data privacy regulations, advancements in AI and increasing demand for personalized content will redefine the MarTech landscape. Among other areas, here’s where CleverTap anticipates seeing the most activity in 2024:

1. AI: the new-age consultants

As customer engagement evolves, Generative AI will go beyond mere suggestions to definitive prescriptions. It will guide brands toward optimal courses of action, transforming customer engagement into not only a personalized but strategically optimized experience. In 2024, this development will manifest in two key areas: content prescription and customer engagement strategies. In content prescription, it will allow brands to analyze data, predict resonant content for specific customer cohorts, and generate new content. Prescriptive customer engagement strategies will enable proactive customer journey orchestration, granular user segmentation for hyper-personalization, and predictive analytics that anticipate needs and forecast long-term revenue impact.

2. From Return On Investment (ROI) to Return on Experiences (ROX)

While ROI has historically been the way to evaluate campaigns: “money in vs money out”, 2024 will see brands take a more holistic view that extends beyond immediate returns — return on experience (ROX). The approach will continually evaluate the long-term impact on customer experiences. It will be a more nuanced and precise metric for gauging customer success, helping marketers look at customer journeys historically and go beyond click-throughs and conversions. Instead, it will consider nuanced metrics such as brand perception, satisfaction, loyalty, and advocacy. The full spectrum of interactions and emotions is responsible for driving user engagement.

3. The gambit of omnichannel will expand

Advancements in generative AI are coming thick and fast. And the chatbots spawned in 2023 will soon transition from being mere large language models to large action models. This means they will not just be able to respond with text, but also act upon commands, giving rise to an era of Generative AI assistants. The Rabbit R1 is already giving the world a pique into this by letting go of traditional apps in exchange for AI. The device’s software is powered by a large action model, or an algorithm that can learn from how users use apps so that it can replicate and automate those processes. In 2024, marketers will contend with the challenge of integrating these AI assistants into their omnichannel engagement strategies.

4. Zero-party data: consensual and accurate

The petabytes of data and insights brands have on their customers comes with a crucial responsibility i.e. ethically navigating this repository of information to deliver the best results while not compromising trust. Customers are increasingly wary of their data, how it’s being used and whether it’s being protected. 2024 will see the end of third-party cookies, the most popular targeting and tracking technique. As brands transition away, they will not only need to align with regulatory changes, but also foster a transparent and trustworthy relationship with their audience. In this new era, the focus on ethical data practices will become a cornerstone of effective and responsible marketing strategies.

Jacob Joseph, VP – Data Science, CleverTap said, “2023 was the year of generative AI, whose profound impact on society had us both excited and cautious about what the future holds. While advancements in the field will make it a sustained talk-point in 2024, other developments will reach a tipping point too. By getting ahead of this curve, we at CleverTap, can not only adapt to these shifts but also innovate and leverage any advancements for the benefit of our customers. This approach ensures that our customers receive unparalleled value and stay at the forefront of the rapidly evolving tech landscape.”

Brawijaya Academic develops DAD App to promote safety at Indonesian Rail Crossings

MALANG, E. JAVA, Indonesia, Dec 15, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Brawijaya University’s Prof. Sugiono has developed an application to address safety at public railway crossings in Indonesia. The Double Awareness Driving (DAD) App, which can run on both visual and audio maps, has been developed to increase ‘double awareness’ of crossing safety – for drivers of motor vehicles on the one side, and drivers of trains on the other.

Professor of transportation ergonomics major at Brawijaya University, Sugiono, shows the Double Awareness Driving (DAD) application that he created to prevent accidents at railway crossings. — Professor Sugiono shows his Double Awareness Driving (DAD) application, created to raise a ‘double awareness’ of safety for drivers at rail crossings in Indonesia. [IMAGE: ANTARA]

“We want to build awareness in two directions. So far, such a ‘double awareness’ solution, if I may say so, is still partial,” said Prof. Ir. Sugiono, ST., MT., Ph.D., Professor of Transport Ergonomics at Brawijaya’s Industrial Engineering Department.

In the first stage, the DAD App will serve drivers as well as pedestrians at certain railway crossings, especially those without gate barriers. The App works like Google Maps, providing information to travelers on the railway crossings they will encounter from the beginning of their journey until they arrive at their destination.

“For example, the App user will receive optimal route information from point A to point B, along with the railway crossings that he will pass along on the route,” said Sugiono. Based on this information, drivers and pedestrians can remain alert and careful at railway crossings, he said, particularly at rail crossings without gates.

Besides providing information on routes and crossings at the start of a journey, the App processes information in real-time. “500 meters before the crossing, the alert is still green. Then, 500-100 meters approaching the crossing, it will become yellow, and at 100 meters, it will be red and sound an alarm. This increases awareness when crossing,” he said.

In the second stage, the DAD App will not only increase awareness among motorists but will be implemented for train operators as well. “The App’s next stage is intended to improve on the existing solution, which focuses on the crossing area. Train operators have not yet been comprehensively involved,” said Sugiono.

According to the Professor, train operators will benefit from real-time information for the crossings they will pass. Presently, operators rely on orders or signal lights when entering a crossing. “Operators also need information, as they base duties on the signal. With DAD, the operator can make decisions when conditions are dangerous,” he said.

The ultimate goal of the DAD App is to form an Early Warning System. Currently, the University is in the process of patenting the application, which in future will be offered for integration into Google Maps. “If we cooperate with Google Maps, it will be easier as they use satellites, so even without an internet network, our App will be okay,” he said.

In 2022, the number of accidents that occurred at railway crossings reached 289, as many as 6.02 incidents some weeks. Based on Brawijaya’s records, there are 2,259 crossings in Indonesia without crossbars or officers, with as many as 87 percent or 251 accidents occurring at these unmanned crossings. DAD’s efforts are expected to reduce these numbers.

About Brawijaya University

Universitas Brawijaya (UB) was established by the President of the Republic of Indonesia in 1961, transforming into a state university in 1963. Today UB is one of the leading universities in Indonesia with more than 60,000 students in various vocational, bachelor, master, doctoral, professional, and medical specialist programs.

CleverTap Unveils Signed Call(TM) for Trusted and Contextual Customer Engagement

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. and MUMBAI, India, Dec 7, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – CleverTap, the all-in-one engagement platform, today announced the launch of Signed Call™, an industry-first, VoIP-enabled, in-app voice capability for trusted and contextual customer engagement. Signed Call™ equips CleverTap customers with an effective way to engage with end-users, leveraging VoIP-enabled in-app calling for real-time, secure, and contextual customer experiences.

In the current landscape, when a brand attempts to reach its users through voice-calls (via unknown phone numbers), there is a risk of being marked as spam or worse used for scam; potentially lowering the brand’s credibility and hampering the relationship with the end-user. Even in an optimal scenario, where the call is not flagged as spam or scam, the interaction lacks context, resulting in low conversions.

With Signed Call™, brands have the ability to personalize the in-app call screen by adding the brand name, logo, as well as providing context for the call. This provides the end-user with the requisite context, enhancing the call pick-up rates. Moreover, brands are not required to disclose end-user PII data (Personally Identifiable Information) to unauthorized individuals or agents while using Signed Call™, thus mitigating privacy concerns. This no-code solution also comes with pre-built use cases and call screens for easy implementation.

“Users often choose not to pick up calls if the caller isn’t a known contact. This can lead to dropped calls and missed opportunities for a business. When extrapolated to the scale of a user-base, it can lead to a significant loss in revenue, and erosion of trust. However, with Signed Call™, CleverTap customers can offer a personalized and secure experience, maximizing the chances of conversions and ultimately increasing revenue.

Signed Call™ has already seen success with a select group of our customers who were part of the Early Access Program wherein significant improvements were observed in call answer rates and engagement levels”, said Anand Jain, Co-founder and Chief Product Officer, CleverTap.

The introduction of Signed Call™ is poised to revolutionize how brands connect with users through voice as a channel; especially within the Ride Hailing, BFSI, and Food Delivery app-categories, as well as in other industries looking to create more personalized customer experiences. It aims to transform customer engagement and elevate trust to a whole new level.

The Head of Product of a leading job search portal using Signed Call™ said, “Our customers are recruiting firms who previously would call candidates on their mobiles, with answer rates around 10-15%. Candidates were slow to act as they weren’t sure if the call was actually from the company they applied for. But since integrating Signed Call™, answer-rates even during periods of low-hiring have been at 33% while peak season has seen this figure climb to as high as 52%; 3 to 4 times higher than before.”

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 21, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Zepp Health Corporation (Zepp, NYSE: ZEPP), a leading specialist in smart wearables and health technology, has launched the Amazfit Balance, created to help people achieve the ultimate balance of life, work, and wellness, it takes the baton from the brand’s Amazfit GTR and GTS family of smartwatches, building on the cutting-edge technology and features that made those models resonate so powerfully with a global community of users, and empowered by Zepp Health’s evolving AI ecosystem to become the new leader of Amazfit’s Lifestyle Series.

With its sleek look, the Amazfit Balance incorporates features that help wearers keep organised and on schedule across the 24-hour day, be it for work, leisure or workout.

Fitness trainer, professional runner and OCR (obstacle course racing) athlete, Captain (R) Raeiz Hamed RMAF, said, “This sleek and versatile smartwatch helps track my mental and physical data, allowing me to push harder or rest more. The Readiness score is accurate in my overall state; whether I trained hard and did not rest enough, it showed an appropriate score.”

“The Amazfit Balance is more than just a great looking watch. The Zepp OS 3.0 operating system enables wearers to achieve just the right balance across the day as the smartwatch harmonises its newest features with Android or iOS compatibility with notifications and reminders together with Amazfit’s signature health monitoring system.”

A new feature known as the “Readiness” score provides advice and guidance based on health indicators such as sleep, exercise, stress levels and 24-hour vital signs monitoring to measure physical and mental recovery from the previous day and indicates wearers’ potential for the upcoming day while helping them optimise work, life and rest.

Mark Ong, content creator and gym enthusiast said, “This fitness watch takes fitness tracking to a whole new level. It seamlessly connects with health apps like adidas Running and Strava.” Ong went on to say, “I really like the Body Composition app on the Balance, in ten seconds I was able to get my bone, muscle, fat and water percentages.”

Other unique features include apps such as “Breathe”, “Yoga” and “Meditation” to help wearers to destress. These apps and many more are part of the more than 150 apps and mini games, together with ExerSense that can automatically recognise eight sports and more than 150 sports modes. Upgrades to sports modes include the Triathlon mode, a 3-sports-in-1 mode capable of tracking swim, cycle and run. The AI-powered Zepp Coach helps monitor wearers’ performance through benchmarks and milestones during exercise.

Together with upgrades such as the BioTracker 5.0, microphone and speaker, the Amazfit Balance is understated enough for business wear while resilient enough for active athletic use. The smartwatch provides all the tools for wearers to remain on-time with app notifications on health giving them the confidence in knowing that they can still have “balance” in their lives as they strive for success.
