Businesses are good at understanding everything their customers do online. But, they don’t know enough about their offline world. There is a huge black hole of missing data that is in fact already there, waiting to be unlocked and turned into revenue.
On average, 20% of customers and visitors will login to free guest WiFi when it’s available. But businesses don’t know how to optimise the WiFi experience for their customers and leverage the data it produces.
Purple gives businesses a means to capture and understand their offline world by offering a cloud-based platform that sits on top of their existing WiFi infrastructure.
As a result we have a market leading guest WiFi, analytics and engagement platform. Our customers range from individual restaurants with a single location to the largest brands in the world with thousands of stores.
