The Challenge

Connected Physically, but Not Digitally

The outlet ecosystem—shoppers, retailers, loyalty, parking, digital—ran on disconnected systems. Without a connected view of the journey, optimization relied on assumptions, not outcomes.

Slow to Activate

Building an audience meant an IT request, a SQL query, a CSV export, and separate uploads. Execution was slow.

A Disconnected Ecosystem

Shoppers, retailers, loyalty, parking, and digital experience are not unified into a single journey.

A Measurement Gap

Purchases happened in third party retail stores limiting visibility into whether offers drove actual sales.

The Solution

A Shopper Intelligence Layer for the Whole Outlet Ecosystem

Build the Shopper View

13M+ records and 155+ attributes consolidated into one profile. ~250K records refresh nightly to keep intelligence current.

Connect the Visit

Parking, Wi-Fi, loyalty, offers, and redemption signals join the same shopper journey—not isolated touchpoints.

Activate by Outlet Center

Audiences and journeys are built and launched per outlet center, with no IT request and no CSV in the loop.

Close the Retailer Loop

Engagement connects to in-store redemption data from participating retailers via secure integration, so each delivered offer is tied to a completed action.

The Shift

From Assumptions to Attributed Outcomes

With RESUL

One Connected Journey

  • Self-serve audiences, 250K records refreshed nightly
  • Parking, Wi-Fi, loyalty & redemption in one shopper view
