How Purple helps

supermarkets and
hypermarkets combine
and action online and
offline customer data
Digital transformation in supermarkets

We want to identify and understand our customers to improve our products and services,
but we need the data to do it. Where is the data going to come from? Without a clear,
accurate and rich database of customer profiles and in-depth segmentation, many
supermarket conglomerates are still looking for ways to capture this data from their stores.

We believe digital transformation through WiFi analytics and intelligent marketing tools can
collect and action these insights in real-time. Unlocking this offline data to process and
combine with online platforms, such as; email, POS, CRM databases, and even weather
apps, can truly transform how you optimize your stores and overall customer experience.

Why capture online and offline data?

You will already be using online business intelligence from website traffic, POS system
purchase history, loyalty program data, and social media statistics, among other sources, to
understand your customers. Even so, not every customer can be identified, and there isn’t a
lot of technology online to track behavior while customers are in your store.

Digitizing the physical space of your stores to capture, analyze and action data of how
different customer profiles behave, and have this data readily available to customers via
their own My Data Privacy Portal, unlocks a new wealth of insights. Especially across
differing store sizes and locations.

This concept is called ‘New

Retail’, where industries
can mirror online and offline
worlds of customer data and
truly put their customers at
the centre of marketing, IT,
and operations experience.

Easy to use, and designed for automatic action

Purple is a cloud-based software that sits over existing WiFi networks to capture, analyze,
and action insights about how your visitors, as well as customers who frequently shop,
behave in your stores.

Social WiFi enables customers to access WiFi via their social channels, or via a short form,
and unlocks previously unaccessible information. However, it’s Purple’s scalability, depth of
data, marketing automation tools, and localized customer support that help you engage with
your customers in real-time, relevant and hyper-targeted commerical strategies.

Understand customer behavior in real-time

Whenever a customer walks into your stores, there is a plethora of data that can be
captured, such as; first and last visit, foot traffic behaviour, and dwell times throughout the
days and weeks.

This deidentified, unauthenticated data helps establish conversion and bounce rates, and
average dwell times across individual and grouped stores, as well as specific departments.
All of this can be exported with Purple’s API to other online and POS data for a robust profile
of your customers and stores.

Enriched visitor and shopper insights

Grow your CRM database Enrich active customer profiles

When a customer logs onto your guest
WiFi, you have an opportunity to collect
name, age, email, social interests and
hometown information. This means,
whether they make a purchase or not,
supermarkets can identify which stores
shoppers are walking into, when their last
visit was, and use this information to
identify your network of consumers.
By using Purple’s connectors, you have the
opportunity to link external data sources,
from POS and eCommerce data to
loyalty program and email software, to
piece together your online and offline data.
By enriching your profiles, you’re able to
identify patterns and manage every step of
the customer experience.

Behavioral segmentation

Personalize your campaigns by targeting customers based on previous and real-time visitor
behavior, including dwell time, busy periods, and even footfall behavior across different
groups and locations, to deliver far more relevant, and ultimately more impactful,
campaigns. WiFi is no longer a utility, it’s a loyalty engagement tool.

Standards, Process & Legal Conformity
Data protection
Personal data about individuals that is
collected through venues is handled in
accordance with privacy laws around the
globe, including GDPR. This data is stored
in line with the requirements of these laws,
and Purple are registered with the
Information Commissioner’s Office.
Data retention
To comply with the Data Retention (EC
Directive) Regulations 2009, which assists
in the prevention and detection of
organised crime and terrorism, certain
communication data must be retained by
service providers. Purple stores this data in
line with the requirements of the regulation
on secure third party Amazon web servers.
Illegal online activity
The Digital Economy Act 2010 targets
online copyright infringement by end
users, covering illegal or inappropriate
downloading and file sharing.
Purple helps venues demonstrate they
have taken necessary steps to prevent
copyright infringement, by guest WiFi
users having to register and accept terms
and conditions which cover inappropriate
use.

Security and protection
Internet security can be one of the biggest
concerns for venues offering WiFi services.
Using Purple will ensure you adhere to
legal requirements of being a public
hotspot provider, such as those in the
Digital Economy Bill.
Purple have ISO 27001 certification. Our
hosting infrastructure is wholly contained
within Amazon’s cloud services which are
fully PCI-DSS and ISO 27001 compliant.
All users logging onto the network will be
routed through the Purple solution, which
complies with current laws and guidelines
for providing a public WiFi hotspot.
Seamless roaming
Our social WiFi solution does not require
repeat login. Once a customer logs into
Purple for the first time, using either social
media authentication or filling in the
registration form, the network remembers
them for a seamless roaming experience.
Safe harbor
All data is stored in Amazon cloud services
and stored in four places globally, in line
with legislation and best practice. EU data
is stored in Dublin, US data in the US, and
APAC data in Singapore.
Standards, Process & Legal Conformity
Purple Protect
All venues that use Purple Protect,
are also automatically compliant with the
IWF (Internet Watch Foundation) Watchlist.
This means that all URLs collected
will be checked at venue level in real
time.
How it works is every website request
made within a venue is routed via
Purple’s DNS filtering servers. These
servers check against the list of blocked
sites and if a request is not allowed, it
redirects the request to a landing page
explaining that this site has been blocked.
Usage tracking
All current usage tracking is done by DNS
requests, and usage data is stored for
at least the minimum legal period logged
against the individual’s MAC address/
access details. Reports in the portal show
which sites have been most requested and
blocked, and which categories of domains
have been most requested and blocked.
Marketing
Whether it’s maximising conversions onto
your guest WiFi by optimising your captive
portal experience or planning and
delivering bespoke campaigns to engage

Reporting is available in real-time via our
cloud-based system, 24/7, 365. You can
