The Challenge
3Cinteractive Corp. (3C) offers mobile marketing solutions for consumer engagement through its Switchblade™ platform and suite of multi-channel capabilities that include SMS and MMS messaging, mobile coupons, mobile wallet, mobile web, location based services. By 2023, there will be nearly 7.3 billion smartphone users globally and the margin for error in today’s mobile marketplace is razor thin. Americans spend more than 4 hours per day on their mobile device and 3C understood that success today is measured by how much of that time is spent on an app or content produced by your business or your clients. 3C identified location technology as the next multi-functional tool to help secure the longevity of its business. It was looking for location-based solutions that expanded the capabilities of its existing suite of products and 3C also wanted to enhance programs and use cases for its clients. The ability to identify the general location of a mobile device without requiring the installation of a separate application was another critical factor in this search process. An app agnostic solution helps maintain performance speed and it would eliminate another barrier to entry for 3C’s clients and the end consumer. For 3C to command the attention of mobile devices users it would need to find a solution that delivered accuracy, speed, utility and extensibility.
