Retail Intelligence Firm Smarter Remarketer Gets $7m

Retail customer intelligence specialist Smarter Remarketer has secured $7m in venture funding, which it will use to drive growth and expand the capabilities of its platform.|

The firm is based in Indianopolis and collects online behavioral data / web analytics, combining this with transactional and demographic data. Its software then enables retailers to send intelligence-driven, targeted communication to visitors across multiple channels. In addition, the company's Metrics feature enables retailers to understand why consumers are abandoning their shopping carts, and how much of this potential revenue can be re-captured.

New funding has been led by Battery Ventures, and represents the first institutional funding round for Smarter Remarketer.

President and CEO Howard Bates (pictured) comments: 'Our rapid growth and the substantial ROI we provide to our customers made us an attractive prospect for investors, but we wanted to partner with an industry leader that has experience and a sophisticated understanding of our business model and the industry we serve. Battery has a remarkable track record for helping marketing technology companies expand their product platform and scale rapidly, and the firm's expertise and resources will be invaluable assets as we continue to realize our goals for expansion.'
