  4. Consideration of interoperability and collaboration We need to consider the ecosystem, the PoS processes and the customer journey if we are to make good decisions with regards to the creation, distribution and redemption of couponing and loyalty. At PoS On the mobile Within the process Purchase + Couponing / Loyalty Time Sensitive

  5. 2013 / 2014 progress of the retail work • Substantial research in what retailers and their ecosystem want • Mobile Commerce in Retail whitepaper, Loyalty & Couponing whitepaper, iBeacon / BLE overview, Market Research conducted • Published open Technical Architecture & API proposal for couponing and loyalty using NFC (2tap) • Market engagements with retail ecosystems and ‘in market’ collaborating mobile operators in Asia, and several in Europe. • Built on a sound and solid framework of proposition, business and technical strategy.

  6. GSMA’s target markets: collaboration & interoperability Norway’s mobile operators are now planning for a 2015 launch of couponing and loyalty Orange in France have launched b2b retail services with a collaborative plan across the country Germany’s mobile operators are collaborating on interoperability for mobile couponing and loyalty Italy has collaboration between all mobile operators (as we see here today) In the US Softcard launched couponing and loyalty services cross mobile operators, 80 handsets available and 30M sales in 2014 (5M app downloads) China is seeing all 3 operators and regional operators commit towards retail implementations in 2014 / 15 Canada’s Enstream have a collaborative project supporting payment as well as couponing and loyalty Global reach Promoting innovation, interoperability, collaboration & standardisation

  7. This joint opportunity was not to be missed. GSMA • Mobile commerce in Retail • Mobile Loyalty & Couponing • Tech Specification Coupon and loyalty • A well engaged and researched retail ecosystem • A desire from the mobile industry to bring couponing to life GS1 • Digital Coupon specification • Technical Specifications • Event Database Standards • The Business Vocabulary associated with events in the event database • An Open Source version of the event database (EPCIS) • Joint GSMA / GS1 project – • Provide recommendations for enabling the mass distribution and acceptance of digital coupons • Give guidance to the ecosystem, brand and merchant

  8. At risk of ‘hyper fragmentation’ in mobile apps • Today • 1 Retailer/Brand & 1 Operator • Potential fragmented • future • X Retailers/Brand & X Operators • Collaborative • future • X Retailers/Brand & X Operators

  10. Prior to discussing Acceptance and Distribution Assumptions Technical capabilities (applets etc) Open coupon format Transfer mechanisms (NFC/BLE etc) Can create a coupon Understand ecosystem Objectives: Create and agree a common way of thinking Identify new areas within ecosystem Discuss and determine ideal digital mass distribution process Understand retailer distribution to settlement ecosystem Determine customer journey

  13. Coupon Event Repository What’s next - What Needs To Be Built Coupon Datapool The following need to be added: • Coupon Data Pool for the issuance of campaign coupons • Coupon Event Repository as the single truth for campaign redemptions • Campaign management platform to interface to the Coupon Data pool, Coupon Event Repository, distributors and settlement • Possibly amarketplaceof offers working with distributors We believe these additions create new opportunities for the ecosystem • Ecosystem players may fulfil one or all of these new functions • A market may have a single Coupon Data pool and Coupon Event Repository, or many Campaign Management Marketplace

  14. This process with mobile can deliver these benefits • Wide distribution of couponsthrough multiple and NEW channels • Targetingand controlled distribution • Distribute coupons acrossmultiple retailers • Unique codes reducing fraud and identifying consumers that engage • Fast and easy consumer experience • Live view ofcampaign effectiveness from distribution through to redemption • Fast settlement
