【2021 Solutions】 Become the No. 1 brand in the MarTech ecosystem. Aiku Intelligent Technology joins forces to fight against each other.

The COVID-19 epidemic is raging. Faced with the new digital normal that consumers are gradually becoming accustomed to, major digital technology applications and online integration and offline services have risen against the trend, which has also made efforts to build "MarTech" (Marketing Technology) ) Ecosystem's AiKu Intelligent Technology's performance has grown exponentially. Wu Jianyu, Chief Strategy Officer of iKu Intelligent Technology, said that the company is committed to becoming the first brand in MarTech, and at the same time, marketing technology is also an emerging field that domestic and foreign investors are optimistic about. AiKu Intelligent Technology has received a total investment of NT$135 million so far. We will continue to promote connectivity with investors and plan to enter overseas markets.

In fact, since its establishment in April 2018, Aikoo Intelligent Technology has been a rapidly growing technology start-up. The number of employees has expanded from 17 to 85, and its revenue has doubled every year. AiKu Intelligent Technology, which bills itself as a "marketing technology integrator," has been fighting a different battle than other startups from the first day of its establishment. The era of working alone has passed. Aiku Intelligent Technology must build a bridge between "marketing" and "technology", build a "MarTech" ecosystem, expand the technology marketing market through group fights, and establish coexistence and coexistence with alliance partners. Rong relationship.

Serving as a bridge between marketing and technology to expand the MarTech ecosystem

Wu Jianyu, Chief Strategy Officer of iKu Intelligent Technology, said that MarTech, as the name suggests, is the use of technology to solve marketing problems. The epidemic has accelerated the pressure of digital transformation on enterprises, and the application of technology in marketing requires a large investment of resources. At the same time, unknown psychological barriers and internal integration challenges must be overcome. For brand owners, advertising agencies, media agencies and integrated marketing Consulting companies often face the dilemma of not knowing how to choose a business, because marketing methods that have entered the technological era, such as image recognition, IoT, detection systems, NLP, data analysis, etc., have extremely high technical content. At the same time, brand owners often require one-stop all-round marketing services, including professional assistance from planning, system introduction, marketing application and effectiveness review. Only integration can create maximum benefits. Even if there are multiple systems or manufacturers cooperating in the process, through the integration service of iKu Intelligent Technology and the API system, it can be efficiently integrated and provide one-stop services for the brand.

On the other hand, iKu Intelligent Technology also plays a role as a bridge between marketing and technology. The MarTech ecosystem includes service vendors, traditional integrated marketing partners and AI startups, etc., and has multiple functions of technology sharing, service sharing and joint services.

The MarTech ecosystem business model is a concept of "single integration and professional division of labor". It is coordinated by alliance partners with technology integration or brand integration capabilities, and other partners cooperate. The overall structure requires the introduction of MarTech systems and consulting services. Only with the input of program developers can the integration be carried out smoothly.

Ecosystem partners each have specialized strengths and can jointly develop new products and services. For example, iKu Intelligent Technology cooperates with the well-known advertising technology provider OneAD to launch innovative conversational advertising that combines advertising playback with interactive advertising. Dialogue helps brands deeply understand consumer needs and preferences. Or it can cooperate with PicSee, Asia's largest URL shortening service provider, to integrate the service into the customer data platform to help companies interpret more consumer browsing behaviors.

There are two keys to the success of the development of the MarTech ecosystem. First, there are people to coordinate and integrate service content. Manufacturers in the ecosystem have their own solutions. Coordinators can find partners in the alliance who can cooperate in providing services. ; Another key factor is resource sharing. After three years of efforts, the MarTech ecosystem has attracted more than 50 partners to join.

Business-driven alliance cooperation will continue to grow the business and exert market influence

In order to lay out the data application market, in early 2021, iKu Intelligent Technology and TNL Media Group jointly established a new AI and data application company - DaEX Intelligent Technology. This cooperation project is an important strategic value point for both parties. Key Comment Network is thinking about how to more effectively apply and monetize the data of numerous readers. Combining the strengths of iKu Intelligent Technology’s customer data platform and omni-channel marketing technology, it will be able to Brands provide innovative media and data integration applications. DaEX will develop data analysis and data monetization, and is also expected to establish a media-specific data platform and media trading market in the future.

Talking about the hardships along the way since starting a business, Wu Jianyu observed that the marketing technology circle is a "Matthew Effect", where the strong will always be strong. Many companies hope to play the role of building a platform. In the first year of its establishment, Aiku Intelligent Technology The energy of resources and influence has just begun, and products are still under continuous research and development. With the expansion step by step, after the establishment of the MarTech ecosystem in 2020, the scale has become larger and larger, and brand owners are willing to invest their media advertising budgets in Marketing technology, or the application of omni-channel retail, has also driven the revenue growth of iKu Intelligent Technology and the MarTech ecosystem. At this stage, continuing to maintain rapid growth and exerting market influence is the biggest challenge for Aikoo Intelligent Technology.

It is an important goal to use a "business-driven" perspective to drive alliance members to cooperate independently in order to win more orders and continue to grow their voice. The business model of iKu Intelligent Technology has been highly favored by investors. In the past three years, in addition to the participation of Xin'an Tokyo Property Insurance Company and Jiaotong University Angel Investment Club in 2019, at the end of 2020, it also received investment from the National Development Fund and Japanese advertising listed company Adway. Supported by Adways Group, it has received a total of 135 million yuan in funding. The epidemic has catalyzed the digital transformation of all walks of life. As a MarTech promoter, iKu Intelligent Technology continues to actively expand its layout and help companies seize opportunities in the fierce competition.

Taiwan's Software Technology on Par with International Standards: Golface's Intelligent Services Transform Golf

Compared to Japan, where 90 of golf courses operate without caddies and use an automated service model, golf course management in Taiwan still heavily relies on human labor Facing a labor shortage of up to 70, adopting a site and membership management platform to provide intelligent golf services may be a transformation worth considering for golf course operators 'Taiwan's software technology is comparable to international standards and definitely has the capability to compete in the global market,' says Tsung-Che Liao, co-founder and CEO of Golface, established in 2014 with the vision to leverage technology at its core, aiming to create Taiwan's first golf entertainment platform With over 9 years vested in cultivating intelligent golf services, Liao is well-versed in the nuances of golf course services He has considerable domain knowledge and has launched a comprehensive intelligent golf solution The world's first networked smart golf cart hits the road automation of golf courses is no longer just a dream In mid-May, Golface's newly developed ARES Smart Golf Cat, the world's first networked smart golf cart, officially became operational Equipped with a dedicated vehicle computer mainframe, dual network systems, AI-based visual recognition cameras, and high-precision GPS tracking, golf courses can now confidently allow golfers to drive themselves The system enables real-time monitoring of any driving violations, and the presence of digital consumption traces allows for insurance coverage The procedure is as follows golfers book the cart via a reservation platform, receive a QR code, pay through the platform, and unlock the cart with the QR code at the golf course The golf cart can then be driven onto the course The course management platform can monitor and restrict the areas through which the cart can travel, ensuring it does not leave the paths Upon completion, the cart is returned through a tablet in the cart In instances of any infractions, penalties are applied directly through the user's account, and for severe violations, future access to the carts may be prohibited This achieves the goal of 'automation' ARES Smart Golf Cat is the world's first networked smart golf cart, officially in service since May 2022 'As labor costs continue to rise, recruiting and training caddies are becoming common pain points in the market While Taiwan's courses still employ caddies, there's a 70 labor shortage,' Tsung-Che Liao added This smart golf cart tablet, combined with a mobile app, has become the ultimate smart caddy Golface is striving to complete the last piece of the 'automated golf course' puzzle Amassing digital consumption trails for advanced client segmentation services Starting with consumer needs, Golface has sequentially launched services like the golf cart tablet, mobile app, golf reservation platform, instructional videos Golface TV, golf tourism, and smart carts The smart cart has been operational since May 2022, currently featuring four units with plans for mass production in the latter half of 2022 Although the cart currently requires manual operation by golfers, remote operation is anticipated early in 2023, with autonomous driving expected in the third phase Via the cart tablet and management system, staff can understand the status of the course through on-screen visual representations, showing each cart's real-time and relative location, departure times, and duration of service per hole, which aids course managers in monitoring on-course consumption effectively, thus reducing traffic jams and customer complaints 'Previously, we relied on staff's mental imagery now, we can employ imagery to visualize real-time situations on the course This makes it possible for those who don't understand golf to work in this field,' emphasized Tsung-Che Liao While course control has traditionally been handled by experienced professional players, the shortage of skilled professionals makes hiring even more challenging Therefore, replacing manpower with digital tools yields twice the result with half the effort The golf cart tablet has entered the Japanese golf market, installed at Fukuoka Century Golf Club Golface's golf cart tablet has been introduced to 14 domestic courses, and has now officially entered the Japanese market, favored by Fukuoka Century Golf Club, where tablets have been installed in carts providing automatic voice announcements for hitting strategies, distance measurements, and visual charts displaying hitting data During the COVID-19 pandemic, with borders closed, Golface utilized OTA technology to provide software updates and troubleshooting, ensuring uninterrupted services, which was highly appreciated by the Japanese golf courses Tsung-Che Liao remarks that Taiwan's software technology is not inferior to other countries like Japan, but more support from golf courses is needed to help transform the industry intelligently 'To assist in the transformation of golf courses, the first step is digitalization,' Liao pointed out By helping courses accumulate data and understand customer service cycles and hitting rhythms, it enables courses to avoid congestion and serve more customers To date, Golface has accumulated data on over 20,000 teams, 35 million scorecards, and over 10 million records This data helps enhance management performance, segment customer layers, reduce complaints, and plan marketing strategies for off-peak periods Golface co-founder and CEO Tsung-Che Liao has spent 9 years deepening intelligent golf services, aiming to build Taiwan's first golf entertainment platform「Translated content is generated by ChatGPT and is for reference only Translation date:2024-05-19」
