Reprise Commerce, the global performance marketing agency of IPG Mediabrands, has today announced a global partnership with technology company and data service bureau, Fabacus, developer of proprietary data management platform, Xelacore.
The collaboration seeks to support the Reprise Commerce client portfolio to meet the ever-growing regulatory demand for deep product data, visibility, and traceability. Fabacus will play a leading role in evolving existing commerce catalogues to become compliant, with additional datasets, insights, and new customer relationship management (CRM) channels and capabilities. This move will deliver key regulatory reporting data and powerful actionable product information throughout the product lifecycle for brands and consumers alike.
Neilson Hall, Head of eCommerce EMEA at Reprise Commerce, commented: “We are pleased to be formalising our partnership with Fabacus. Data continues to play a pivotal role within all our initiatives, not only for product strategies and consumer insight, but specifically considering upcoming reporting regulations and compliance. Upgrading and enriching our clients’ datasets with the agility, ease, and detail Fabacus can provide will be invaluable to our business decisions, campaign strategies and reporting moving forward.”
Andrew Xeni, CEO & Founder of Fabacus stated: “Transforming brands’ commerce-ready catalogues to be data-compliant through our robust data capture and validation will provide Reprise with a broader tool kit to serve their clients, as well as enable consumers around the world to engage and understand more about the items they are buying, the brand, and their supply chain practices. Now more than ever, there is a need for increased visibility and transparency across the sector and we look forward to working hand in hand with the team at Reprise Commerce in implementing standardised levels of data and insights through our technology.”
