Teradata and Localz partner up on proximity marketing tech
Marketing and analytics platform combined with Localz's microlocation solutions for beacon, geolocation to help marketers adjust content in real-time to customer in the real world
Teradata has struck an alliance with Localz to bring the boutique microlocation consultancy’s location-based capabilities into its core marketing platform.
Under the partnership, the data and analytics vendor’s Integrated Marketing Cloud solutions has been combined with Localz’s micro-location technology solution to deliver real-time personalised content direct to a customer’s mobile device, based on their exact physical location.
As well as supporting the iBeacon standard and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons, which are gaining ground in the retail space, Localz works with proximity-based technologies such as Wi-Fi, GPS, QR codes and Near Field Communication (NFC). The technology can also be used to track campaign assets and carry out mobile payments.
Localz, which is less than a year-old, is already working with UK retail giant, John Lewis, to provide beacon and other location-based technologies for improving customer engagement after winning the retailer’s JLAB technology incubator competition.
Teradata area director for the Australian Marketing Applications team, Simon Bowker, said partnering with Localz offers the vendor an opportunity to help its customers gain a more detailed insight into a customer’s journey through the sales cycle.
“Our world is no longer divided into online and offline and Localz enables us to capture data on customer behaviour in the real world, and provide customers with a seamless experience,” Bowker said.
“It’s a great partnership for our customers and an example of our strategy to drive growth of our
business in the Australian market.”
Bowker told CMO that for many organisations, having proximity-based technologies in place is only one part of the equation. The real value is in making real-time decisions on the types of content or information pushed to those customers, in order to be more relevant, he claimed.
“This technology [from Localz] enables us to do in the physical world what people have been doing for many years online, which is tracking people on the Web going to certain sections of a website, exhibiting certain behaviours, or going through a combination of actions in way that then allows us to prompt through remarketing or event-based marketing,” he said.
“The real value we believe is when you’re able to spot the event, similar to what people do in the digital world, and are then able to make a decision. It’s all very well saying there’s someone walking past an aisle or tapping an offer, but the reality is many are just pushing out generic messages, offers and invitations.”
Teradata platform brings data sets together in order for marketers to know everything about that anonymised person, Bowker said.
“We know where they have been, every channel they have surfed, programs they’ve been part of, things they’ve purchased and priorities we’ve placed on different products. Using all those dimensions of information, marketers can then look at what they should do with that person in real-time,” he said.
“We have the technology that does that decision-making in real time, Localz has the technology that brings a new channel to that decision making engine. And that new channel is the real world.”
While there are no customers signed up as yet for the joint offering, Bowker said target markets include the retail, leisure and entertainment industries as well as airlines.
Localz commercial director and co-founder, Tim Andrew, said partnering with Teradata will give businesses the ability to incorporate new microlocation technologies into their existing marketing strategy to drive more relevant communications.
“We’re excited to be adding a new dimension to Teradata’s proven, world-class marketing platform,” Andrew said.

Flash back to the classic film, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Television-obsessed Mike insists on becoming the first person to be ‘sent by Wonkavision’, dematerialising on one end, pixel by pixel, and materialising in another space. His cinematic dreams are realised thanks to rash decisions as he is shrunken down to fit the digital universe, followed by a trip to the taffy puller to return to normal size.
Why is it there is no shortage of leadership development materials, yet outstanding leadership is so rare? Despite having access to so many leadership principles, tools, systems and processes, why is it so hard to develop and improve as a leader?
As a nation united by sport, brands are beginning to learn money alone won’t talk without aligned values and action. If recent events with major leagues and their players have shown us anything, it’s the next generation of athletes are standing by what they believe in – and they won’t let their values be superseded by money.
