Our solutions
Smart allocation of marketing collateral
OptiChanl helps you automate complex location-based brick and mortar advertising, including retail marketing and visual merchandising. Improve the efficiency and impact of your collateral through smooth, accurate distribution.
The right type and quantity of marketing assets in the right location, on time, every time
Relying on manual spreadsheets to get marketing material across many unique locations can be an exhausting process. It consumes resources and is prone to error—wrong assets, wrong location; too much collateral, or not enough.
OptiChanl automates the entire workflow.
It begins with location auditing: the ability to query each location’s attributes, then define location-specific campaigns and collateral based on local demographics, psychographics, and physical characteristics—urban vs. rural, mall vs. stand alone, number of windows, floor space, shelving, and on and on.
OptiChanl captures every unique attribute, automating the complex calculations required for collateral production and allocation. It’s a complete solution that simplifies merchandising and includes flawless printing, custom kitting, and reliable delivery.
The result? Faster time to market through simpler, shorter cycles that ensure accuracy; lower stress and chaos for retail merchandising staff; and reduced waste from delivering the right POP materials to the right locations.
