The financial terms of the deal, which was funded from existing cash on hand, were not disclosed. Based in Las Vegas, NV- and Chennai, India, XUVI provides a marketing platform designed to evaluate, target and engage customers to increase loyalty through data analytics utilizing customer behaviors and AI. The company’s platform, called BEAMSTUDIO, combines historical and behavioral propensity data to assign a customer’s future value based on their unique characteristics and behaviors. The technology provides real-time predictive and actionable insights to augment marketing with targeted campaigns focused on valued customers, increases operating efficiencies through data analytics and automation of routine marketing tasks, and optimizes marketing spend by reducing over and under-reinvestment. BEAMSTUDIO is expected to enhance Everi’s QuikMarketing capabilities and leverage consumer data to assist casino marketers and deliver intelligent interactions across all channels and act as the foundation for targeted and cost-effective campaigns to acquire new patrons and strengthen existing customer relationships with precise insight.XUVI also provides SPENDSCORE, which is a single number that represents the future value of a customer based on their unique characteristics and behaviors. Created using multi-dimensional behavioral data models that analyze each person’s historic, demographic and psychographic data, the resulting SPENDSCORE reflects each customer’s future engagement value to user’s operations and helps users direct marketing expenditures to individuals most likely to respond.
