■Background and Future Prospects for Collaboration

In the digital marketing domain, traditional digital marketing methods, which send out advertising messages suited to each consumer based on analysis of the consumer's digital purchasing behavior, etc., have been effective in "arousing interest" in products.

However, the company was unable to follow up with consumers who left the site after making the final push (closing) to make a purchase decision or after leaving the cart of a web-based shopping cart, resulting in lost opportunities.

Meanwhile, in the contact center, information on customer strategies in the digital domain had become scarce, and consumer history was broken down by channel, such as "which information the consumer used to contact us" and "what information the consumer used to contact us". As a result, when dealing with customers, the first step was to conduct interviews to find out the background and needs of the customer before providing support, which placed a heavy burden on both the consumer and the operator. In order to resolve the issues between the three parties, the two companies will start to develop a one-stop digital communication support service based on integrated information that leverages the strengths of both companies.

Going forward, UPBOND Inc. will provide new customer experience value through communication design centered on individually optimized communication support that combines UPBOND Inc.'s system technology and DCC's strength in tailored operational know-how for each individual consumer.

In the future, the company will also develop the system with a view to utilizing advanced technologies such as Wallet, Web 3.0, and NFT, and will respond to the evolution toward an immersive experience by integrating the real world with the virtual world.
