ShopLiftr Unites Digital and Physical Retail with Data-Driven Ad Solutions that Drive Sales and Omnichannel Efficiency

Published

on

OTTAWA, ON, Jan. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ – As the lines between digital and physical retail continue to blur, ShopLiftr‘s cutting-edge digital advertising platform is leading the charge in transforming how brands and retailers engage with consumers through its phygital approach. This transformation comes at a crucial time, as digital advertising is projected to account for 82.8% of total ad spending by 2026, with retail commanding 27.5% of that spend. By leveraging unique trade data, multi-channel integration, creative efficiencies, and omnichannel capabilities, ShopLiftr empowers advertisers with significant efficiency gains, simplifying complex processes, and creating hyper-personalized experiences that drive consumer engagement and sales.

 

“The future of retail advertising isn’t about choosing between digital or physical – it’s about seamlessly integrating both,” says Gord Crowson, President & COO at ShopLiftr. “Our platform bridges this gap by delivering dynamic, personalized content that enhances online engagement and translates it into tangible in-store sales, ensuring a unified and impactful consumer journey.”

Data-Driven Technology Powers Hyper-Personalization

ShopLiftr’s innovation is anchored by North America’s largest collection of active trade promotions, processing and refreshing ~200,000 deals monthly from the top 300 US retailers. This vast proprietary database, which accumulated over 1.75 million unique trade promotions in 2024, powers their dynamic creative ad technology platform. Through sophisticated AI-powered language detection, precise geotargeting, and the ability to ingest first-party data, the platform delivers hyper-personalized, multilingual ad experiences that connect shoppers with local deals in real-time. Each promotion is dynamically injected into ad units, ensuring perfect alignment between digital messaging and in-store offers while maintaining unprecedented targeting accuracy.

Real-Time Dynamic Pricing

As dynamic pricing becomes increasingly adopted by retailers and restaurants to stay competitive, ShopLiftr’s platform can adjust pricing on an automatic cadence, ensuring perfect synchronization between digital messaging and in-store offers. This capability is enhanced through trigger-based personalization that adapts content based on weather conditions, time-based factors, and local events. Combined with advanced and predictive targeting, this approach has shown to improve engagement rates by up to 50%, creating an unprecedented level of relevance for consumers.

Seamless Omnichannel Integration

As a retail-agnostic media platform, ShopLiftr transcends traditional advertising boundaries and breaks through walled gardens. The technology renders ads seamlessly across display, video, and Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) formats – adapting to any size, any screen, anywhere. With programmatic DOOH advertising expected to contribute over a third of OOH ad revenues, ShopLiftr’s platform is well-positioned to capitalize on this growth.

This flexibility extends to in-store digitization, connecting with consumers throughout their shopping journey: from mobile devices on the way to stores, to digital screens in aisles, scrolling shelf banners, and even integration with emerging in-store smart technologies.

Scalable Creative Services for Complex Campaigns

In today’s fragmented digital landscape, advertisers grapple with high costs and creative inefficiencies due to the lack of standardization across platforms. Managing ads across multiple channels demands significant time and financial investment, often leading to excessive manual work and resource expenditure.

ShopLiftr’s creative services infrastructure eliminates these challenges, efficiently handling complex, large-scale campaigns. For instance, our creative services powered 105 creative variations each week for a West Coast grocery retail group during their 2024 Q4 campaign, supporting 4 banners in 2 languages across 14 flyer versions. This scalability maintains brand consistency and delivers locally relevant content, all while significantly reducing time and cost barriers associated with multi-platform advertising.

Meeting Evolving Consumer Needs

Digital offers have become the go-to method for saving on essential items, with 62% of shoppers using them compared to 55% who engage with traditional in-store sales tactics. This trend aligns perfectly with ShopLiftr’s mission, as digital advertising within physical stores is projected to increase by 46%. Retailers that integrate digitally forward strategies into their in-store experiences are more likely to capture consumer dollars. This underscores the critical importance of merging digital and physical retail experiences to meet consumer needs effectively.

With 83.7% of all US retail sales still occurring in physical stores, ShopLiftr’s platform bridges a crucial gap in the market, ensuring retailers can seamlessly connect with consumers both online and offline.

Proven Performance Metrics

The platform’s effectiveness is validated by impressive performance metrics. Retail partners have experienced up to 29% increases in store traffic and achieved a remarkable 12:1 Return on Ad Spend (ROAS). For instance, a leading frozen food manufacturer saw a 7.7% sales lift and $465k in incremental sales through a national digital shopper marketing campaign executed by ShopLiftr in 2024. These results stem from ShopLiftr’s unique ability to create genuine connections between digital engagement and in-store purchases.

Through this comprehensive suite of capabilities, ShopLiftr is defining the future of retail advertising – one where digital engagement seamlessly translates into in-store sales, and where every advertisement is as dynamic as the consumers it targets.

eSign.AI Named Sole Electronic Signature Technology Provider for Hong Kong Government’s CorpID Project, Building the Foundation for Digital Signing Infrastructure in Hong Kong

Published

on

By

HONG KONG, May 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As Hong Kong’s Digital Corporate Identity Platform (CorpID) counts down to its phased launch, eSign.AI has been appointed as the sole electronic signature vendor in the project, responsible for delivering core digital signing capabilities including digital signatures, certificate management, and signature verification services. CorpID is led by Nexify, a seasoned government systems integrator, as the prime contractor. The platform is expected to launch in phases starting late 2026, with multiple CorpID-based e-government services going live in mid-2027.

CorpID: Government-Grade Digital Identity Infrastructure for Hong Kong Enterprises

The Digital Corporate Identity Platform (CorpID) is an enterprise-level digital services platform launched by the Hong Kong SAR Government, developed under the oversight of the Digital Policy Office (DPO). It is designed to serve as the business equivalent of “iAM Smart,” providing a unified digital identity foundation for Hong Kong enterprises. CorpID’s core mission is to build an integrated digital government infrastructure — offering unified identity authentication, digital signing, form pre-filling, and e-licence storage — replacing paper-heavy, cumbersome traditional processes and enabling smart city development through seamless data connectivity.

The platform is open to companies incorporated under the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622) and businesses registered under the Business Registration Ordinance (Cap. 310), including sole proprietorships and partnerships. The DPO requires all enterprise-related e-government services to support CorpID within 18 months of launch, and will continue expanding ecosystem coverage through sandbox initiatives, cross-industry identity standard interoperability, and fully online registration processes.

eSign.AI: The Digital Signing Engine Behind CorpID

eSign.AI is an AI-native electronic signature and contract automation platform built for enterprises worldwide, offering a complete signing framework from simple electronic signatures to the highest-level compliant digital signatures — meeting diverse regulatory requirements across industries and jurisdictions.

On the identity verification front, eSign.AI has completed integration with iAM Smart, enabling individual identity verification through Hong Kong’s citizen digital identity system, and providing legally valid digital certificate services for both enterprises and individuals.

Looking ahead, the eSign.AI SaaS platform will be deeply integrated with CorpID, providing enterprise and individual identity verification for Hong Kong businesses, and supporting both electronic and digital signing that complies with Hong Kong’s Electronic Transactions Ordinance — connecting the full digital contracting lifecycle for government and enterprise alike.

Getting Ahead of the AI Era: From eSignGlobal to eSign.AI

The electronic signature industry is undergoing a structural shift from “tooling” to “intelligence.” Market data underscores this acceleration: the AI-powered contract analysis tools market has grown from USD 3.32 billion in 2025 to USD 4.3 billion in 2026, at a CAGR of 29.6%. Signing is just one node in the contract lifecycle — document generation, workflow orchestration, compliance tracking, and post-execution management are all being transformed by AI, and the industry window is closing fast.

In April 2026, the company officially rebranded from eSignGlobal to eSign.AI, completing its strategic transformation from an e-signature tool provider to an AI-native contract automation platform. As the company’s spokesperson noted, this rebrand is not cosmetic — it is an acknowledgment of where the product actually is. Customers were already using eSign.AI to automate workflows that go far beyond the signature itself.

eSign Automation Skill was launched alongside the rebrand — an AI-powered signing automation framework for enterprise workflows that enables complete contract signing through natural language interaction, with no manual intervention required. Whether it is single-party approval, multi-party sequential signing, or large-scale parallel execution, an AI Agent can orchestrate the entire workflow in a single call. All signature initiations and status queries return structured JSON outputs, directly parseable by leading large language models and intelligent workflow systems.

eSign Automation is now available in the OpenClaw ecosystem and supports integration via Claude MCP, ChatGPT, and other leading AI platforms.

By combining AI automation capabilities with CorpID’s government-grade digital identity infrastructure, eSign.AI delivers a complete solution for Hong Kong enterprises — from identity verification to intelligent signing to full workflow automation.

About eSign.AI

eSign.AI (formerly eSignGlobal) is an AI-native electronic signature and contract automation platform built for enterprises worldwide. The platform serves over 100 countries and regions, covering core industries including financial services, manufacturing, real estate, human resources, and healthcare — with 1,500+ scenario applications and 3,000+ ecosystem partners. eSign.AI holds ISO 27001, ISO 27701, and ISO 27018 certifications and supports major regulatory frameworks including the U.S. ESIGN Act / UETA, EU eIDAS, HIPAA, GDPR, and 21 CFR Part 11. Infrastructure is anchored by independent data centers in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Frankfurt, Germany.

SUNMI Wins 2026 Red Dot Design Awards with Five Products, Leading Global Commercial Industrial Design

Published

on

By

SINGAPORE, May 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The winners of the 2026 German Red Dot Design Award were officially announced. Five of SUNMI Technology’s flagship products won awards: the CPad Business Tablet, CPad PAY, FLEX 3 Interactive Display, the V3 handheld POS Terminal and L3 Industrial PDA. These products stood out with three core design concepts: integration, versatility and human-centricity.

Known as “The Oscars” of global industrial design, the Red Dot Award has strict evaluation criteria covering aesthetics, ergonomics, scenario adaptability and sustainability. SUNMI adheres to original commercial scenario customization, rejecting crudely modified consumer devices. All winning products are originally developed for real commercial scenarios such as cash register, food delivery, industrial inspection and store operations, covering the entire commercial track with high scenario adaptability. Meanwhile, it practices ESG concepts, adopting eco-friendly materials and modular structures to extend equipment service life, reduce consumable consumption, and implement low-carbon and long-term design, which perfectly meets the Red Dot’s sustainability evaluation criteria.

Simplify Complexity: With highly integrated design, SUNMI eliminates the “patchwork feeling” of cluttered devices and tangled cables in traditional commercial scenarios, streamlining store operations and saving space.All-in-One Versatility: Beyond a single tool function, SUNMI’s products achieve flexible transformation through modular and multi-form designs to proactively adapt to changing business needs. The CPad series with modular accessories and FLEX 3’s Lego-style modular design enable multi-scenario application and long-term reuse.Human-Centric Design: Every detail is human-oriented, focusing on real pain points to enhance scenario experience. The L3 Industrial PDA reduces high-frequency work fatigue through scientific weight distribution; the V3 Smart POS Terminal balances large-screen visibility and grip comfort; CPad PAY integrates full-link functions to simplify workflows.

These honors stem from SUNMI’s long-term commitment to a sustainable society, original commercial R&D and ESG. In the future, SUNMI will uphold its core concepts, expand the boundaries of commercial industrial design, and empower global businesses with user-oriented, eco-friendly and high-value products.
