New York, NY - Toronto, ON – October 17th, 2019 – NexTech AR Solutions (the “Company” or “NexTech”) (OTCQB: NEXCF) (CSE: NTAR) (FSE: N29) NexTech AR Solutions, the industry leader in augmented reality, is pleased to announce the release of a seamless real-time analytics dashboard as a companion to it’s ARitized product SKU. ARitized product SKUs are products that have been converted into 3D AR volumetric models and are viewed from an e-Commerce product page using augmented reality in a standard web browser, no app required.
NexTech AR e-commerce customers can now watch shoppers convert into buyers in real-time. All product interactions, shareable moments and online conversions using the unique add-to-cart functionality can be directly tracked and measured for each product SKU’s AR experience.
“With our new shareable real-time analytics dashboard, brand managers and online eComm channel managers are able to measure their click through rates, dwell time, and add to cart for 7, 30, 90 and 365 days, which is a must in the world of e-Commerce” says Evan Gappelberg, CEO of NexTech AR. He continues “We are super excited to see that our subscriber analytics consistently confirms that the average time-on-page with a 3D AR product is several hundred percent longer when compared to a regular 2D photograph or product video resulting in record levels of brand interactions. Similarly, there is a 100% to 400% increase in add-to-cart activity from the same WebAR experience, effectively turbo-boosting online conversions and ROI which we expect will drive more and more ecommerce sites to adopt WebAR. This dashboard will be key to ensuring that more businesses decide to use AR in e-Commerce”.
ARitized products, along with this new powerful dashboard, enables NexTech AR customers to amplify and optimize, as well as, track and measure online product interactions and conversions with the 3D augmented reality versions of the products on their websites.
