Our Story – Proximity

To close the gap between physical and virtual retail

by empowering brands to deliver exceptional customer experiences, anytime, anywhere

In the age of digital retail, brands must act smarter, move faster, and build trust. Engaging, understanding, and retaining your customers across touchpoints is increasingly challenging.

This is what ignited the Proximity story. We’re bringing physical and digital retail together to create personalised customer journeys and empower memorable customer experiences.

We’re enabling brands to create connections, deep engagement and relationships that build loyalty and growth. This is what defines retail excellence today. The all-important personal touch that turns a digital transaction into a long-term customer.
