Sprooki, a location-based marketing platform for retailers and shopping malls, has announced today that it will be expanding to Australia. Andrew Lockwood, founder of PostClick, has been appointed the startup’s representative partner in the country.
Since launching in Singapore last year, Sprooki has road tested its app with over 80 retail brands and malls. It also signed its first customer — Singapore shopping mall 313@Somerset — and sealed a deal with startup YFind to integrate indoor positioning services into Sprooki. Read more
Indoor positioning is coming to Asia really soon. The technology has received a big push towards commercial viability after today’s announcement of a partnership between Singapore startups Sprooki and YFind that will see closer integration between the two.
The companies complement one another well. Sprooki offers a white-label location-based marketing platform for retailers, while YFind is scaling up its indoor positioning system that promises accurate tracking of a smartphone user’s location to within 3 meters.
Sprooki will begin integrating YFind into its platform, and offer it as a package to customers in Asia. YFind, on its part, will offer Sprooki to merchants outside of the region, particularly in the US. Read more
Soon after a USD0.48M funding round from Get2Volume, Singapore-based mobile marketing startup Sprooki has gone white label. It launched on 29 November a new location-based marketing app customized just for Singapore shopping mall 313@Somerset, and will be looking to sell the solution to even more shopping malls and retailers.
The iPhone app, called Tring313, enables users to find deals that are nearby, download coupons, and make redemptions at the store. They can also make purchases directly on the app.
Malls and retailers can use the platform to schedule promotions, offers, and events to appear on the app as targeted messages. They can track and manage coupons as they are being downloaded, purchased or redeemed. Read more
