Philips Lighting Location Lab partner program
Vipera (AIM: VIP), the specialist provider of mobile financial
and retail services, is pleased to announce it has been selected to
partner with Philips Lighting to complement its indoor positioning
system.
Philips Lighting, a global leader in lighting products, systems
and services has announced its Location Lab partner program, which
includes Vipera, to enable collaboration with industry leaders and
start-ups to develop innovative applications of its highly accurate
indoor positioning system.
Vipera is using the Philips' indoor positioning technology as
part of its growing retail offering and has created a proof of
concept mApp called Follow Me which uses the Philips technology to
direct consumers to specific products in store and then uses
augmented reality to enable the user to scan a product and receive
additional information, pricing and demos or previews. The mApp is
currently being trialled with a major European retailer.
Other companies which have joined the Philips Lighting Location
Lab program include Microsoft, SAP and Capgemini.
Philips Lighting, Segment Leader of Retail and Hospitality,
Parik Chopra, commented: "Our Location Lab partners are as
important to us as apps to a smartphone; the value a building owner
derives from our indoor positioning system increases with the
number of complementary products and services we offer. With our
partners, we are able to turn our customers' vision into reality
and enable them to differentiate through shopper convenience and
staff efficiency.
"The market for indoor positioning is forecasted to triple by
2020, to over 1 million installations. Together with our Location
Lab partners we are looking forward to offer scalable systems that
fulfill the needs of this growing market."
Vipera CEO, Marco Casartelli, commented: "We are very pleased to
have been selected by Philips Lighting to join their Location Lab
partner program. Their technology not only complements our retail
and customer engagement propositions but opens up the possibilities
for much broader adoption in the retail community."
