Offerpop Integrates Slyce Technology to Automate Visual Product Recognition for Their Brand & Retailer Roster

Hello Leif

Offerpop deal:
www.offerpop.com

www.crunchbase.com/organization/offerpop

Offerpop runs digital campaigns for brands that gives them detailed information on what products their customers are posting to social media sites like instagram, facebook, twitter etc.

Previously the image recognition portion of this service was a manual process that could take up to 48 hours. Now with Slyce the process is automated with minimal time latency.

Slyce has become the provider of image recognition for all products in Offerpop's customer user generated social media pictures.

This will be a source of huge lead generation for Slyce because every time a new brand is taken on it will be an opportunity for a direct deal for Slyce.

2014 was a great year for shopping apps; sessions increased 174% year over year to become the fastest growing sector of mobile apps. Popular categories like Messaging and Games underperformed, coming in third and last respectively. Mobile shopping usage spikes at three distinct times of day: morning around 9 am, 12 pm, and after work around 8 pm. With these numbers, it appears 2015 will be a massive year for mobile shopping!

Is Visual Search The Next Big Thing In Mobile Commerce?
12/03/2014
Slyce’s own Mark Elfenbein thoughtfully examines mobile commerce from a current and future perspective in this piece for Internet Retailer. He likens the current shift to mobile shopping to the shift two decades ago to search engines; a personal experience became a profitable business. As retailers scramble to overhaul their digital and omni-channel strategies to keep up, early adopters will see early rewards and increased engagement. Elfenbein rightly recognizes that humans are visual creatures. As technology advances, a shift from textual searches to less time-consuming methods appears to be an emerging trend: in 5 years, it is predicted that 50% of all searches will be voice or visually based.

12/23/2014
In December 2014, Uber closed a $1.2B funding round at a $40B valuation. It’s no wonder that venture capitalists are scrambling to identify the “Next Uber” to invest in so-called “disruptive” technologies. Forbes recognizes Slyce as one such example, calling it “The Uber of Retail” and asserting that Slyce is on the cusp of completely transforming the world of online retail.
