Locally.io (formerly Digital2Go Media Networks), a consumer engagement and marketing intelligence platform company, has deployed its contextual intelligence technology to over 10,000 physical locations including Walmart, Target, and Best Buy in North America, partnered with Wyndham/RCI and SSL Media to deploy its services into airports, financial institutions, and hotels and resorts throughout Latin America. In January 2018, the firm secured a 1.8M XEM (~$1M USD) non-dilutive grant with the NEM Blockchain Foundation to democratize user data on the NEM blockchain.Bridging the gap between physical locations and the consumers that visit them, the platform collects predictive, highly relevant, and actionable data insights from sensors and mobile devices in a matrix with demographic, behavioral and interest data from our channel partners. The end result is highly valuable, predictive, and accurate location data that helps organizations make better decisions, enhance engagement, and improve lives. To date, the firm has collected over 50B GDPR-compliant data records with 60M+ MAUs.
