YCD|RAMP is an in-store digital media campaign management platform that
emulates the real workflow between a retailer, their agency and their
suppliers. In real-time, a new digital campaign can be uploaded by the ad
agency or production house, approved by the corporate headquarters and
distributed to screens at all or any subset of the retailer's locations. With
the built in content creation tool a regional office, or individual store can
customize and generate their own promotions to suit their local needs from a
library of pre-approved templates. Customized approval settings ensure all
campaigns receive proper review and follow corporate branding guidelines.

When fully integrated with the retailer's point-of-sale system YCD|RAMP
will complete the information loop by allowing for analysis and reporting on
the success of each campaign and using that data to optimize the campaign, in
real-time, for maximum impact and return on investment.

"YCD|RAMP elevates the measurability and ROI of in store ads to heights
never before possible outside of the e-commerce space!" said Noam Levavi,
Chief Executive Officer at YCD. "RAMP was developed with the future needs of
retailers in mind and reflects 10 years of working closely with our customers
to fully understand their challenges. The launch of this platform
significantly empowers marketers and marks a turning point in in-store
advertising. For the first time, brands and retailers can assess, in
real-time, the impact of their in-store ads and dynamically optimize their
campaigns anytime and from any Internet enabled device."
