French start-up Think&Go has announced its participation at GITEX Technology Week where it aims to present technologies such as connected screens that are able to interact with all connected objects (smartphones, contactless cards, smartwatches and passports).
According to the company, these technologies allow users to retrieve information or services, to buy or order a product, simply by using a contactless card or a smartphone on the screen.
Visitors at the Think&Go booth will be able to discover this screen with unprecedented capabilities and can make, if they wish, donations to various charitable associations, by choosing the amount displayed on the screen with a contactless bank card.
Think&Go highlighted that the important purpose of these new generation screens is the simplicity and speed access to information. Since few years, Ingenico Group, an integrated payment solutions vendor, and Think&Go have integrated the contactless payment.
“For 30 years, the screens have not changed significantly: they show more beautiful images but remain passive. Today, they are able to transmit their content and carry out transactions, thus opening a new dimension: the Screen Commerce which allows to buy everywhere, at any time. Our breakthrough technology allows development of new digital services, essential to reboost the trade. This new sales channel opens big opportunities for brands. We have begun the marketing of our screens in France and in Asia. The GITEX Technology Week is a fabulous opportunity to meet the industrial and important groups in the Middle East where the NFC technology is already very developed and the mutation of digital signage is underway. The connected screens can contribute to this fantastic evolution” said Vincent Berge, founder and CEO, Think&GO.
The emergence of contactless and connected objects and the digitalisation of trade. The global market integrates the sectors of mass-market distribution, transport, bank, tourism, without forgetting the retail and commercial centres.
