Benefits of technology

The tool enables more accurate and efficient marketing, market segmentation, and risk calculation by identifying specific business customer needs, improving advertising targeting and product alignment with appropriate customers and merchants, and enhancing transaction analysis for better market strategy development.

Problems solved by technology

Traditional marketing and industry analysis does not always identify specific needs of specific business customers.
As a result, traditional marketing and segmentation of financial services and products to businesses is not always accurate because it does not effectively identify specific needs of specific groups of business customers.
In addition, traditional advertising of financial services and products to businesses uses a broad approach that inaccurately and inefficiently targets business customers because the advertising does not effectively convey how the financial services and products provide satisfaction of specific business customer needs.
Furthermore, traditional advertising also does not evaluate the effect of advertisements based on industry transactions between targeted markets.
In addition to these problems, conventional financial transaction risk profiling is often inaccurate because it does not take into account transaction risk based on the industries of the respective parties.
