Featured Client Solutions

Dentsu certificate of ownership, service management & second hand solutions

For a luxury client we created a digital passport giving a unique digital identity to each product. The customer simply scans an e-warrantee card after the purchase event, giving access to a secured certificate of authenticity and other new client services. 

  • Authentic certificate of ownership, built on blockchain.
  • Second-hand tradeability: ownership can be safely transferred for second hand re-sale.
  • Service management via traceability of all product events. This give customers access to the full product history (date of purchase, customer service and repairs).
  • Improved customer-care experiences with a direct connection to the brand.

Dentsu Retail Insights: e-warrantee, retail visibility and sell out monitoring

Our clients need to access retail data from stores across the globe to understand real-time sales offtake and to manage inventory and forecasting. In response, we designed, implemented, and operate a traceability platform to give full visibility over the retail and sales landscape, and the after-sales cycle.

  • Monitoring +2 million activations per year, 10,000 point of sales.
  • Operating all data analytics and intelligence to respond to the client needs (real-time data, retail offtake, product movements).
  • Real time data for operation efficiency, inventory management, sales forecast, retail execution, etc.

Dentsu upstream traceability & transparent sourcing

A client in the beauty and cosmetics sector wanted to ensure upstream traceability, uniquely linked to each product. We designed a solution to share the traceability of every individual item, with an ideal user-experience easily read on a smartphone camera in one click.

  • Upstream traceability built on blockchain: communicates raw material and sourcing information each unique product unit.
  • Drives conversion with smart content targeting each unique customer.
  • Compatible with serialized QR code technology, for scale and mass-market products.

Dentsu Campaign Track:  measuring ROI for campaigns events

A client in the sports sector was looking to measure the impact of campaign and sales events hosted by Sales Agents and Brand Ambassadors. We created a traceability solution to link each product “trial” across the journey to the final moment of sale – even if this happened weeks or months later via e-commerce or another point of sale. Through this digital approach the brand gained data intelligence and insights linking the trial event to the moment of purchase. 

 

  • Real time intelligence  to measure ROI including:
    online event and sales reporting, individual Sales Agent performance, number of customer interactions and conversion rate (number of purchases).
  • Scale and speed execution, from design to launch in 6 weeks.

Dentsu Grey Market Intelligence:  channel and distribution visibility 

Our clients in the mass-market and in the luxury sector alike are both faced with the challenge of the grey market.
We designed a customised tracking and tracing platform to give end-to-end visibility over distribution channels, with real-time data intelligence and alerts for suspicious activity or unauthorized product movements. 

  • Tracking and tracing platform, tailored for the grey market challenges.
  • Data intelligence and analytics give brands the tools they need to enforce channel policy. 
  • With this data, brands can make the right decisions to incentivize correct channel activity with distributors.
