The future of personalization
Many see data as the key to creating and enhancing personalized customer experiences. For us, successfully combining adaptive physical hardware will be the real game changer.
We help design, develop and produce innovative physical and digital technologies that pave the way to evolutionary products and business models. Our vision involves moving from supply chain mass customization to personalized hardware. We see a clear road to business transformation, value and increased customer acquisition and loyalty.
Digital transformation – How to make it happen
What does personalization mean for your brand?
Understanding the opportunity
There's no one-size-fits-all approach to seizing the opportunity of the personalization trend. You need to do what's right for your business, your customers and your industry.
Technology is instrumental here. Not only is it the enabler for your brand ambitions, but it allows you to get closer than ever to understanding your customers’ individual needs and desires. But to make the personalized offering viable, the whole supply chain needs to be adapted – not just the consumer touch points.
In these companion blogs, we discuss how personalization can benefit businesses and reveal the right approaches for start-ups and multinationals alike.
An innovator’s guide to personalization
Until recently beauty and tech weren’t considered complementary. But now, technology is rapidly changing the relationship between consumers and brands and is driving a massive digital transformation in the beauty and personal care industry.
Fuelled by the ever-present connectivity in our daily lives, modern brands are now connecting directly with consumers and building mutually beneficial relationships and experiences together that are bringing personalization to the forefront.
Mass market consumer products are dead – what’s next?
The drive towards personalization has been around for a while. But to date it has mainly been about curating products at manufacture or allowing a personalized product selection process.
Join us as we delve into the opportunities and challenges of personalization and explore how to understand the consumer, when this makes sense for your business, and how to get started – whether you are a multinational or start-up.
We can help you achieve the seemingly impossible

Here we talk through the last foot and the 5 technologies which will underpin this future: AI and privacy, connectivity, miniaturized electromechanics, biological sensors and cross reality.
