Smith Micro Expands Data and Analytics Capabilities of ViewSpot Retail Display Management Platform

Presenting this enhanced solution at “Bringing Devices to Life: Using ViewSpot to Engage Customer Retail Journeys” webinar on March 7, 2023

Smith Micro Software Inc. launched expanded data and analytics capabilities in its ViewSpot retail display and engagement platform that allow retailers to correlate user engagement with product sales. The ViewSpot platform’s robust display management and analytical tools, coupled with its ability to integrate with existing systems, make it a powerful component of a business’ digital retail strategy, producing opportunities to attract prospective customers with compelling, on-brand content. As the ViewSpot platform has proven to be a valuable tool to mobile network operators in their retail operations, the Company will now expand its promotion of the solution to other retailers who sell mobile devices and TV monitors in their stores.

“We have always felt strongly that ViewSpot should be an essential component of a retailer’s in-store strategy, offering value by turning browsing consumers into buying customers,” said William W. Smith, Jr., president and CEO of Smith Micro. “In an environment challenged by shrinking workforces, growing consumer demand for the most current and compelling information, and the need for critical data to make the right smart retail decisions, ViewSpot is the silent salesperson that easily and efficiently augments and automates retail activities. ViewSpot not only guides consumers as they browse and buy devices, but also collects important information for retailers to be able to understand, customize and optimize the consumer journey.”

ViewSpot can increase in-store sales by collecting critical data from integrated systems and centrally managing on-screen content, including marketing campaigns and pricing updates, while tracking, engaging and quantifying the in-store customer journey. ViewSpot’s data coupled with a retailer’s inventory management, planogram, or point-of-sale system, enables access to valuable data that highlights foot traffic, the most successful store locations, inventory status and customer conversion rates. These data analytics differentiate ViewSpot from a pure content management solution by identifying which merchandising campaigns generate the most revenue and turn in-store screens into measurable engagement tools. Additionally, retailers can easily conduct A/B tests across devices, messages and promotions to gauge performance and success.

Alibaba.com Releases its Guide to Stay Competitive and Thrive in 2023 to Help American Business Owners Retain and Grow Share of Wallet Amidst Volatile Economic Conditions

Alibaba.com’s 2023 Guide to Stay Competitive provides data-backed insights and actionable tips for small businesses to thrive amidst difficult market conditions

Alibaba.com, one of the world’s largest B2B e-commerce marketplaces, a business unit of Alibaba Group, released its 2023 recommendations for small businesses in the United States trying to navigate rapidly changing consumer decision making with its Guide to Stay Competitive and Thrive.

The new report from Alibaba.com provides actionable and easily implementable strategies for small businesses seeking to differentiate themselves, with category-specific recommendations for businesses in essential and non-essential categories.

“As small businesses continue to adapt to the pressures of inflation, supply chain delays and worries of recession, small business owners can feel confident in their growth strategies and know where to turn for resources if they need to pivot due to the changing market environment,” said Stephen Kuo, President of North America at Alibaba.com. “We at Alibaba.com are happy to provide resources, such as support in finding more cost-efficient suppliers and logistics services, to help business owners not only survive volatile market conditions but grow their business and thrive.”

Read More: SalesTechStar Interview with Ang McManamon, VP of Sales at Crunchbase

Go Where the Growth Is: Essential vs. Non-Essential Product Category Growth

Volatile economic conditions in the United States have led to reduced consumer spending with 53% “holding back” on non-essentials¹. Spending on essentials has experienced less of a decrease as shown by grocery spend only dropping 24%.

Alibaba.com internal data indicates essential products have enjoyed a 40.3% rate of active B2B buyer growth, while businesses sourcing non-essential products are seeing just 16.5% active B2B buyer growth. So, across industries, non-essential products are still seeing growth, but it is slowing due to a decrease in demand. With less demand for non-essential products, small businesses may want to revisit their inventory management tactics, prioritizing in-demand essential products to increase profit margins.

Consumer spending habits may shift categorization year to year, but generally essential products include home and pet supplies, baby products, renewable energy products, auto parts, building and construction materials, medical supplies, oil and gas, food and beverages, industry machinery, and electric tools and supplies.² Non-essential products include consumer electronics, apparel, beauty products, toys, sports and entertainment, furniture, jewelry and eyewear, and accessories.

How SMBs Can Implement Product-Specific Strategies to Compete & Win

For business owners seeking to combat lower active buyer growth rates on non-essential products, Alibaba.com recommends focusing on product differentiation – for example, focusing on customization, sourcing quality materials, improving packaging and developing a robust consumer ratings program to build both consumer interest and drive purchasing decisions. Alibaba.com data analysis found that suppliers with customizable products, for example in the consumer electronics category, had 110% more product inquiries than competitors with products that simply met the regular technical standard. Additionally in both the apparel and consumer electronics categories, suppliers with higher customer ratings received more than 200% more inquiries than competitors with low ratings.

“We found our supplier from Alibaba.com, and it was the only supplier that was skilled enough to create a customized mold for our product, without having multiple engineers involved, in less than 30 days,” said Amanat Anand, co-founder of Soapen. “Being able to build our niche product in such an efficient manner helped us gain more customers.”

For essential business owners, Alibaba.com recommends focusing on being a cost leader to maintain competitive advantage. For example, in the auto parts sector, businesses with absolute cost advantage over peers received 11.7% more inquiries about their products – and in the home goods sector, lower average transaction value corresponded with year-over-year growth for businesses. This means businesses selling essential products should seek not only to compete on individual item prices, but make it possible for consumers to purchase multiple items and still feel as though they received a good value for the number of items purchased.

Tactics for SMBs to Differentiate & Drive Purchases Amidst Volatile Market Conditions
As small businesses continue to vie for consumer spend in uncertain market conditions, Alibaba.com recommends the following tactics:

  • Ride the wave of trends by regularly introducing new products and frequently connecting with quality suppliers to explore new product innovations. Offering trend-driven products that meet changing consumer demands can drive success.
  • Leverage promotional events like Alibaba.com’s March Expo, which offers more than 2 million newly released products and connects small businesses with manufacturers and suppliers directly. Assessing a variety of manufacturers and selecting the right supplier is a crucial step in achieving cost-effectiveness, which is cited by 53% of Alibaba.com users as a key to success in 2023.
  • Utilize efficient sourcing tools to cut down on unnecessary steps in sourcing inventory, supplies and production, ensuring small business owners are able to re-invest profits into their business and continue to scale by making smart sourcing decisions.
  • Protect your ability to grow by leveraging logistics supports like trade assurance, which helps create a transparent buyer-seller relationship by assuring a desirable outcome for buyers in the face of supply chain issues.

Alibaba.com is committed to supporting American SMBs as they continue to face increasing challenges in an uncertain economic environment, and regularly provides resources and tools necessary for small businesses to succeed as part of the company’s dedication to building the world’s commerce connection. During March Expo, one of Alibaba.com’s largest annual events, Alibaba.com helps entrepreneurs learn what trends are impacting their businesses, shares insights on sourcing, helps provide order protection through Trade Assurance and offers other resources.

Insights for Alibaba.com’s 2023 Guide to Stay Competitive and Thrive were gathered through a combination of focus groups and surveys of small business owners using the Alibaba.com platform to source products for their business, along with United States market data collected from the company’s B2B e-commerce platform regarding active buyers, inquiries and transaction data.

At Subsurface LIVE 2023 Dremio Launches New Data Lakehouse Features and Sees Exponential Community Growth

Continued product adoption and new product features, along with rapid community growth, fuel Dremio’s momentum in 2023

Dremio, the easy and open data lakehouse, —at Subsurface LIVE 2023—announced the rollout of key new features. These features enable customers to more easily create their data lakehouses by performantly loading data into Apache Iceberg tables, query and federate across more data sources with Dremio Sonar, automatically format SQL queries in the Dremio SQL Runner, and securely connect Microsoft PowerBI using single sign-on (SSO).

“Every company we speak to is struggling to help their business move faster and self-serve while maintaining security and governance. Data meshes solve for these competing priorities, and we’ve been innovating to make it easier and easier for companies to create and operate data mesh architectures.”

Dremio also has added roll back and data optimization features for Apache Iceberg tables, making it even easier to manage data lakehouses using the open table format standard. Furthermore, customers can now use several new SQL functions for an even better SQL experience.

Read More: Rebuy Raises $17M Series A To Make Online Retail Personal

Dremio’s expanding functionality with Apache Iceberg now includes:

  • Copying data into Apache Iceberg tables – Dremio’s new COPY INTO SQL command makes it even easier and faster to load data into Apache Iceberg tables, which are a foundational component of data lakehouses. With one command, customers can now copy data from CSV and JSON file formats stored in Amazon S3, Azure Data Lake Storage (ADLS), HDFS, and other supported data sources into Apache Iceberg tables using the columnar Parquet file format for performance. Dremio efficiently distributes the copy operation across the entire engine to load data more quickly.
  • Optimizing Apache Iceberg tables – When using Dremio’s data manipulation (DML) commands to insert, update, and delete data from an Apache Iceberg table, additional files are created to represent these mutations to the table. Often, customers will have many small files as a result of these operations, which can impact read and write performance on that table and utilize excess storage. To improve the performance of Apache Iceberg tables, customers can now use the OPTIMIZE command in Dremio Sonar to consolidate these files into an optimal size. Customers running frequent DML operations can use OPTIMIZE at a regular interval to keep their Apache Iceberg tables efficient.
  • Table roll back for Apache Iceberg – Customers can now restore their Apache Iceberg tables to a specific time or snapshot ID with Dremio’s new ROLLBACK command. This makes it easy to revert a table back to a previous state with a single command. When rolling back a table, Dremio will create a new Apache Iceberg snapshot from the prior state and use it as the new current table state.

Visit our documentation to learn more about building and operating your data lakehouse with COPY INTO, OPTIMIZE, and ROLLBACK commands for Apache Iceberg.

Dremio’s new functionality also includes new connectors for Microsoft PowerBI, Snowflake, and IBM Db2. Customers using Dremio and PowerBI can now use single sign-on (SSO) to access their Dremio Cloud and Dremio Software engines from PowerBI, simplifying access control and user management across their data architecture. The Snowflake and IBM Db2 connectors give customers the ability to quickly add Snowflake data warehouses and IBM Db2 databases as data sources for Dremio. This makes it easy to include data in these systems as part of the Dremio semantic layer, enabling customers to explore this data in their Dremio queries and views.

Read More: SalesTechStar Interview with Ben Calfee, VP Commercial Sales of Showpad

Additionally, customers can now add Dremio clusters as data sources, enabling query federation across these clusters. This feature set enables connectivity across Dremio environments, including hybrid environments where you have Dremio clusters running in a public cloud and on-premises. This makes it easy to extend Dremio semantic layers across clusters, giving analysts and BI engineers access to more datasets and insights. Along with popular connectors already operational like Tableau, ThoughtSpot, dbt, and Alteryx, these new connectors add more flexibility for customers.

“It’s been great to see the incredible growth of our product driving value for our customers,” said Tomer Shiran, co-founder and CPO of Dremio. “Every company we speak to is struggling to help their business move faster and self-serve while maintaining security and governance. Data meshes solve for these competing priorities, and we’ve been innovating to make it easier and easier for companies to create and operate data mesh architectures.”

Dremio’s growth and momentum continue to be recognized across the industry with key awards in 2022 and already in 2023. These include: CNBC’s 25 Top Startups for the Enterprise, Deloitte’s 2022 Technology Fast 500, CRN’s The 10 Hottest Big Data Tools Of 2022, DBTA’s Trend-Setting Products in Data and Information Management for 2023, and Tech Ascension’s 2022 Big Data Award Winners. In addition to these awards, Dremio has also received 11 badges from G2, including “Easiest to Use,” “High Performer,” and “Momentum Leader.”

“We are delighted to be recognized by trusted organizations like Deloitte and CNBC and are excited to see the growth of our community. I am proud of Team Dremio for their hard work last year and am looking forward to more growth in 2023 as we see a continued interest in open data lakehouse architectures,” said Read Maloney, CMO of Dremio.

Dremio’s continued community building has led to thousands of registrants at its flagship event, Subsurface LIVE, between its in-person events in San Francisco, New York and London, and its virtual event on day one. Subsurface LIVE is an event for Dremio customers, data industry leaders, and other industry experts.

For thirsty users, Dremio also launched its Data Hops user community events in Dallas, Santa Monica, Boston, Chicago, and London earlier this year. New cities are being added to the schedule throughout the year, enabling data professionals to network and learn more about self-service analytics in a comfortable, casual environment.

In addition to the event lineup for Dremio’s community in 2023, the community also has a thriving Slack channel with active users in the data and analytics space.
