DIGITAL


Mobile commerce - New ECR working group in Europe. Scope and objectives


Technology and Consumers are meeting



Technology



Technology Consumers


Fast smart phone growth

• Smart phone penetration in most developed markets set to be over 50% in 2011

Technology


Market Trends• Mobile Phone penetration = 100%,over 50% of mobile

phones are internet ready

• Increase of internet mobile users (approx 25% to 30% use daily internet on mobile phones)


Industry Trends• Brand owners and retailers are finding new ways to

interact with consumers• Many retailer apps now available

– The Tesco app allows shoppers to scan product bar codes to automatically order products online

– The Ahold app allows shoppers to create shopping lists and sort them based on the walking route in the store of their choice

• Brand owners are using web and mobile platforms to attract customers and build loyalty

• Product information (anytime/anywhere) is a powerful concept but trusted product information not easily available to consumers


Smartphones as a shopping tool (1)• Consumers are starting to use their mobile phones to compare prices,

get coupons and access product information


Smartphones as a shopping tool (2)• In UK, 36% of consumers use smart phones to access product

information


Smartphones as a shopping tool (3)

• 56% consumers express a need for information linked to health/wellbeing or ethical/ environment concerns

• 31% consumers express a need for logistical information such as location in store, price and inventory status.

Shoppers look for trusted

• According to the last ECR Survey, lack of accurate and trustworthy product data has a significant impact on shoppers and consumers.

–50% of consumers claimed that they needed an accurate description and image to feel confident that the product is the right one.

–34% of consumers won’t buy the product at all without confidence in the data.


Vs.

Brand applicationsBrand data

ECR applications powered by Brands

Search Engines Wiki websites (contributions

from shoppers)

Independent applications dedicated to

shoppers

Data controlled by brand owners vs. data aggregators


Challenges for Retailer and Manufacturer

• Shopper/Consumer are getting incomplete and partly wrong product information

• Scan App Providers are forced to integrate different data sources

• Brand owners have no ownership and no influence on the presentation of their products. They are losing control over their product data

• Data aggregators allow all kinds of comparisons and transparency between products (A is cheaper than B, C is fatter than D, E is healthier than F, G is greener than H, etc…)


Objective is to build up an authentic source of data

• Define a better way to protect brands/trademarks with a trusted source of data

• Shopper/Consumer are getting valid information for the respective product

• Scan App. providers are developing a standardized interface to get valid product data

• Brand owners are communicating product data from there own data warehouse – recover data ownership


iCat - B2B, B2G… B2C!


What is joint trusted

Key concept: Consumers access to trusted product information or related services via their mobile phone

Consumer/Product -> Mobile phone -> Brand/Retailer


Joint trusted source: an application for mobile commerce


Coupons

THE USER PRESENTS THE COUPON IN THE POS


B2B2C : Examples of available information

Smartphone applications examples :• Goggles: Shopper takes a picture of a product or a logo with

his smart phone and gets the product description.• Reclasser: Shopper scans barcodes with his smart phone

and can compare prices, can find in stores nearby the item, can check food allergens.

• GoodGuide: Shopper scans the barcode of the product and immediately sees detailed ratings for health, environment and social responsibility for more than 50,000 products and companies.

On the Internet (and soon on smart phones) :• Google shopping: Enter a product name and the search

engine provides you prices, where to buy, product descriptions, consumers rating.
