VidiReports version 5.6.0: an HTML-friendly audience measurement solution

July 4, 2018May 27, 2014

VidiReports 5.6.0, the latest release of VidiReports, Quividi’s flagship audience measurement software, now includes the ability to provide real-time audience data via the WebSocket protocol. From now on, HTML5 content management applications will be able to interface directly to VidiReports and make use of real-time information on the current audience and its demographic breakdown. This enhancement streamlines the integration of Quividi’s audience measurement software into browser-based players to create HTML5-powered, audience-aware CMS’s via just a few lines of Javascript.

The HTML5 standard was specially designed to deliver rich content without the need for additional plugins. HTML5 delivers everything from animation to graphics, music to movies and can also be used to build complicated web applications. The WebSocket specification —developed as part of the HTML5 initiative— defines a full-duplex single socket connection facilitating live content by enabling dynamic and persistent data communication channel between browser-based applications.

The SDK directory that gets installed along with VidiReports has been updated with a HTML5 folder containing some HTML code and JPEG content to demonstrate the new capabilities:

HTML5 being cross-platform, note that the audience data could be used directly on a PC, a tablet, a smartphone, or a smart TV, while VidiReports runs on a separate PC.

Dialogica and Quividi team up to bring innovative efficiency metrics to brands and indoor media companies

July 4, 2018May 21, 2014

Dialogica SRL, a retail and media innovative consulting company, and Quividi SAS, the leading real-time audience measurement platform, announce today that they are further combining their strengths in order to create a new range of insightful audience and efficiency metrics, for the Retail and Digital Signage markets.

Quividi (www.quividi.com), based in Paris (France), offers a video analytics solution which uses tiny video sensors such as standard webcams and proprietary algorithms to count the visitors of public places, detect those who take a look to some specific points of interest, track their dwell time and attention time, and qualify them by gender and age. No image and no uniquely identifiable data are ever recorded; the anonymous data is uploaded into the cloud and made available through dashboards, SDK and API. Quividi has over 200 customers in 45 countries.

Dialogica (www.dialogica.it/en), based in Milan (Italy), offers consulting services which combines in-store traffic, audience, advertising planning and sales data, in order to unearth trends, understand what sales best and ultimately optimise marketing efficiency in store. Dialogica was founded in 1996 by Pr. Matteo Testori, a former marketing executive at several global CPG companies and reputed professor of marketing at the Università Cattolica, in Milan.

Dialogica and Quividi have been working together closely since 2008, delivering visual efficiency insights to leading companies such as Grandi Stazioni, Coca-Cola, Perfetti, Mondadori, Tag Heuer, Skoda, Autogrill, Bennet, Zuegg, Armani… Building on this expertise and on a new cloud service, Dialogica and Quividi now ambition to streamline the production of these metrics and turn them into a new set of KPIs that will make communication in store and in public places more measurable, comparable and efficient.

In February 2014, Dialogica introduced Dianalytics™, a web-based platform which sits on top of Quividi’s data warehouse. Dianalytics introduces a series of new ratios such as the attraction, the attention and the relevance indexes that allow meaningful benchmark of stores or locations. Furthermore, Dianalytics uses a statistical modelling which estimates the frequency of contacts of visitors with a point of interest, thus making it possible to compute net impressions, GRP and Digital Rating points. These new KPIs apply to in-store marketing, as well as digital signage and traditional media.

“After six years of successful partnership with Quividi and a rich experience with national and multinational corporations in Digital out of home, consumer goods, retail markets, we have developed a real innovation, providing our clients with a complete set of ratios, analytics and insights. For the first time on the market, it is possible to have in real time continuous insights on shopper behavior and the effectiveness of advertising and creativity. The data from Quividi and the insight of Dianalytics™ open a new era in marketing, media planning and advertising” declares Matteo Testori, Dialogica’s CEO.

“Brands have always struggled to measure the efficiency of their marketing in the last three feet to purchase. Our solution combined with Dianalytics brings a unique, reliable and affordable solution to address these needs, which we’ll strive to make mainstream” says Olivier Duizabo, Quividi’s CEO. “It will certainly benefit the Digital Signage industry to have the possibility to rely on metrics comparable to those used by the TV industry when discussing with advertisers”, he adds.

Through this partnership, the joint Quividi/Dianalytics™ solution can be supplied either from Quividi or Dialogica.

4.6 seconds : the average attention time in digital signage

July 4, 2018April 28, 2014

4.6 seconds : this is the average attention time that you could expect from viewers as they pass by screens. Quividi defines attention time as the duration during which a viewer had his faces turned towards the screen. This leaves little time no time to engage into long story telling, but more than enough to make an impact.

By construction, this value… is an average, as some screens can have an average attention as low as 1.5 sec, and others as high as 27 seconds.

This example is one of many that will be revealed in a benchmarking study that Quividi is preparing. Indeed, Quividi has been measuring over 150 screen networks since 2008 and 96 of them have accepted to contribute some anonymous data to a benchmark panel that we have created. This panel was built in such a way that no participating network would overwhelm others and each data point would be generated from a minimum of 8 screens coming from a minimum of 4 networks, thus ensuring both representativity and confidentiality, over 30M people from all around the world.

When it is published, the study will cover 18 typical situations, from a mix of 8 types of venues and 5 types of screen placements. The available data will consist of:

the number of average daily viewers,
average screen visibility ratio (ie percentages of by-passers taking a look to the screen)
the average demographic breakdown (by gender & age group)
the average attention and dwell time

Stay tuned for more information.

BroadSign International, LLC Integrates with Quividi’s Automated Audience Measurement System

July 4, 2018March 31, 2014

The leading provider of digital signage solutions teams with Quividi to deliver enhanced audience information to network operators.

MONTREAL, CANADA. Mar.31, 2014. BroadSign International, LLC has announced that an upcoming upgrade to its cloud-based digital signage software, BroadSign X 10.3, includes integration with Quividi’s audience measurement platform. Quividi is the most deployed measurement solution in the digital signage market and is a fitting addition to BroadSign’s standardized platform that powers over 200 digital signage networks.

The BroadSign X 10.3 software upgrade was disclosed at BroadSign’s Second Annual Client Summit held in Las Vegas on February 11, 2014. The integration with Quividi will allow for the collection of audience counts and the inclusion of these impressions into proof of play reports. It will also permit the triggering of content based on gender, meaning that ad copy will react and adapt to the demographics of the audience viewing a screen in real time.

“Quividi’s camera-based audience measurement system aims to render point-of-sale and out-of-home marketing strategies as accurate and accountable as their digital counterparts,” said Olivier Duizabo, Co-founder and CEO at Quividi. “Integrating with BroadSign’s platform and having the potential to run on its vast aggregate of digital place-based networks will assist in attaining this goal.”

Already making use of the Quividi features available through BroadSign’s upgraded platform is Grandi Stazioni S.p.A. The conversion of Grandi Stazioni’s Italian transit network reaching 700 million people annually to BroadSign’s digital signage platform was publicized in January 2014. Grandi Stazioni has since activated the new audience measurement features and enrolled Dialogica, a Quividi partner, to build a complete set of traditional media metrics and innovative insight, including the calculation of net coverage, frequency and resulting GRP.

“BroadSign holds its services and products to very high standards and we expect those in our ecosystem to do the same,” said Daniel Parisien, Vice President of Marketing and Strategy at BroadSign. “Quividi’s audience measurement solution is an accurate and reliable addition to BroadSign’s platform, and we look forward to our partnership’s future progressions.”

Quividi’s platform delivers a rich set of data to understand how by-passers engage with a screen, such as the number of opportunities to see, number of real viewers, attention time and dwell time, broken down by gender and age class.

Those interested in obtaining further information about how Quividi audience measurement can be used in their networks are invited to submit a form to speak with a representative.

DigitasLBi Paris and Klepierre Launch Inspiration Corridor, a personalized digital shopping experience, powered by Quividi

July 4, 2018March 14, 2014

DigitasLBi Labs, the technological monitoring, consulting and prototyping division of DigitasLBi, designs models in order to develop the “Connected Commerce” offer of the agency. It seeks to demonstrate how technologies will enrich daily shopping and consumer experience in the future, thus supporting brands and retailers as they adapt to ever-changing consumer behaviours.

DigitasLBi Labs, the agency’s global, tech-inspired incubator, has partnered with Klépierre, a leading European real estate investment company, to launch the “Inspiration Corridor,” a digital prototype that personalizes the retail experience in shopping malls. Designed for Klépierre visitors, the technology provides customized product recommendations to consumers and tells them which stores to go to in order to purchase those items.

This new prototype from DigitasLBi Labs is also part of the agency’s “Connected Commerce” offering, which explores how technology can enrich the everyday consumer shopping experience and works with brands and retailers to adapt to ever-changing consumer behaviors, and increase consumer loyalty and engagement.

Vincent Druguet, CMO /Connected Commerce Lead at DigitasLBi, said:

“We started from a strong insight: consumers rarely know every single shop in a mall, and are even less aware of their newest products. Right now, there’s a wealth of product information available to people through personalized search engines. Our idea was to offer people all this information in a fun and experimental way, using digital technology in shopping malls.”

“Just as individual retailers are developing their own brands, we’re focused on making a difference through the experience that we can offer consumers,” said Sandrine Quesnel, CMO of the Klépierre Group. “Our ambition is to keep the Klépierre Group on the cutting edge of technology and marketing by using innovative digital solutions to answer the latest demands in retail, and to create a truly interactive shopping experience.”

How it works: An infra-red Kinect camera analyzes individual visitors as they enter the “Inspiration Corridor” through body scanning technology. A device equipped with Quividi video analysis and PigData product recommendation scans the visitors and their outfits within 10 seconds and registers the collected data: their gender, age, and clothing style. This analysis generates a personalized “mood-board” of products to consumers upon their arrival. They can also take an item that they’ve already purchased at the mall, scan the bar code on it, and get recommendations for matching accessories: for instance , matching a new pair of shoes with a dress. This produces a selection from the Socloz-supplied database of products and catalogues of partner brands located in the mall .

Then, just like window-shopping, people can walk through the corridor and select their favourite products on the screens. Each chosen item affects the recommendation engine, made with PigData, and simultaneously updates the product selection. Thanks to Carlipa technology, the screens are updated with real-time content and can interact with customer movements. Upon leaving the Inspiration Corridor, customers can synchronize their product selection to the Klépierre mobile application using iBeacon technology. They can then locate all the pre-selected products within the shopping center. Ultimately, the “Inspiration Corridor” combines the best of what both digital and offline have to offer.

Grandi Stazioni initiates a new era in DOOH accountability with Quividi and Dialogica

July 4, 2018February 25, 2014

Rome, February 25th 2014 – Grandi Stazioni SpA, company of the Italy Railways Group, is the first society in Italy (and one of the first companies in Europe) to deploy on its digital signage network a new technology providing audience analysis and measurement and metrics to evaluate the effectiveness of digital advertising campaigns.

Grandi Stazioni came to an agreement with Quividi, the leading firm in audience measurement and face detection systems, and Dialogica, the Italian society that developed the first to market suite providing a complete set of metrics to measure the effectiveness of DOOH networks. Thanks to their partnership, their innovative solution has been deployed on the main networks owned by Grandi Stazioni and is going to be extended to the whole network of digital signage installations, interactive screens, and Led walls. This will ensure the analytical measurement of the audience and the impact of the advertising campaigns on air in 14 Railway Stations in Italy.

The Grandi Stazioni network reaches 700 million people every year. The major traffic flown comes from Roma Termini, Milano Centrale, Torino Porta Nuova and Napoli Centrale.

“The system developed by Dialogica and Quividi, and adopted by Grandi Stazioni, takes DOOH into a new era: at last, it is possible to provide advertisers and media planners with all the metrics used and applied in traditional media, such as TV and radio. This is a genuine Italian innovation, developed thanks to the partnership between Grandi Stazioni, Dialogica, Quividi, and Impara, a spin off of the Italian National Research Council” declared Matteo Testori, Dialogica’s CEO.

“We are extremely pleased to see another major network deploy our solution on a wide scale”, adds Olivier Duizabo, Quividi’s CEO. “Being ‘Measured by Quividi’ is a pledge for our customers to deliver trusted metrics and demonstrate their accountability. This transparency is extremely positive for the DOOH ecosystem as a whole as it reinforces the confidence of advertisers in reliable audience numbers”.
