AUSTIN, TX -- (Marketwired) -- 08/18/14 -- Umbel today announced its new Activator payment data integration to accelerate intelligent collection and drive new value from first-party data.

Available today, the newest Umbel Activator feature integrates online payment processing into Umbel's existing data collection tools to allow companies to capture customer information at the point of purchase -- using a self-serve, intuitive tool that is designed from the ground up for non-technical users. All purchase data is instantly tagged and integrated with existing data assets on the Umbel platform to provide new insights to drive a superior customer experience and increase customer lifetime value.

How It Works
Through Umbel Activators, companies can now use state-of-the-art technology to sell tickets, collect payment and deliver email confirmation -- all via a responsive app that can be easily customized to the look and feel of any brand. Umbel's intuitive online wizard allows marketers to easily configure payment fields, add branded creative assets, publish to any device, and track results -- within minutes and with no additional IT, design or data resources.

Once live, the Point of Purchase data integration provides the most convenient and streamlined transactional integration available online with the transparency and ease of use demanded by consumers today. Users simply log in through LinkedIn, Facebook or other networks to initiate the purchase process and approve data sharing. All payments are processed through third-party payment processing companies like Stripe, known for its security and ease of use.

All payment data collected through an Activator flows to the secure Umbel platform where it is tagged and unified with existing customer data and then analyzed by Umbel's patent-pending Digital Genome technology to deliver highly visual insights into customer segments, preferences and behaviors. The enhanced data set can be used to drive and track ad buys, marketing campaigns and sponsorship sales, as well as to trigger event reminders and other communications to provide an optimal customer experience from purchase through event completion -- and build long-term customer lifetime value.

Umbel Activators
The new Activator is the latest in Umbel's continued innovation to empower brands with new ways to unlock the enormous potential of first-party data while respecting user rights and transparency. Existing Activators include self-serve apps, data collection tools for contests, newsletter sign-ups, event RSVPs, recommendation engines and social sharing. Point of purchase data collection is now available to all Activators. For example, a venue can use an Activator to charge patrons for Wi-Fi access.

Activator client use cases and results include converting 2.5M Facebook fans into qualified leads, managing RSVPs for events, and launching a new B2B network for premium members. Additional Umbel Success Stories are available here.
