ACI Worldwide launches Smart Engage mobile commerce platform

ACI Worldwide has announced ACI Smart Engage, a mobile engagement platform that enables merchants to serve up their inventory of goods and services directly to consumers’ smartphones using location, voice and image recognition technology.

Geolocation coupled with scannable media and audio tags within TV, print and radio ads, posters, magazines, catalogues, window displays and more will enable consumers to instantly purchase items 24/7 with one click while on the go.

“With ACI Smart Engage, merchants can reach consumers through their smartphones no matter where they are and turn every interaction into an opportunity to sell,” says Debbie Guerra, Head of Merchant, ACI Worldwide.

“It combines the in-store and online experience for consumers by reaching them on their smartphones through various media, including supermarket labels, restaurant menus or window displays, and driving true m-commerce sales through embedded one click payments. With ACI Smart Engage, merchants can make ‘window shopping’ reality.”

Merchants can add the solution to their exiting mobile application using the Smart Engage SDK APIs.

Guerra concludes.: “Consumers are reaching for their smartphones to make informed buying decisions more than ever before.”

“With Smart Engage, we enable merchants to reach those consumers at the right time, when they are most likely to make a purchase and then help them complete the purchase with a single click. It fosters direct engagement between merchants and their customers.”
