The beacons sector is growing, he says, but there are some concerns about the technology getting mishandled. If “the simplicity of the solution is taken to the extreme, couponing becomes too prevalent and an annoyance,” Englund says, “which would shut down the entire opportunity for the technology.” He believes there is a better way to use beacons, by allowing consumers to pull contextual information on to their smartphones rather than have it pushed to them. Footmarks is also looking to use its technology outside of retail, Englund said, in workforce management, asset management, and other markets. In addition to the funding and team expansion, Footmarks rolled out updates to its software development kits for Android and iOS, new firmware, and a new set of features. “We have taken something very complex and allowed for a simple engagement,” Englund says, “so it’s easy to manage a large deployment of tens of thousands of beacons.” João-Pierre S.
