We are moving forward by using technology to support both the beverage business and the new business in providing digital data services. Since data is regarded as gold in today’s world and the future, as such those having a lot of data will create an advantage in getting into the mind of the consumers.

This will create an advantage for the joint venture business of data providing services that are useful to other companies.”
Presently personalization marketing is replacing mass marketing because consumer lifestyles are diverse and more unique with a need for more individualization. Ichitan Group hopes that this investment in the data business will be an opportunity to deeply understand the needs of each consumer group and enable the use of information obtained for analysis to offer products and services that precisely meet those needs.
The arrival of Predictive will create for Ichitan Group its own first-party data collection strategy, thus reducing the reliance on third-party data from various social media platforms. This will ensure that the data acquired is more accurate, effective, and specific to the needs of each customer group.
This transformation is driven by 3N strategy (N1 : New product, N2 : New market, and N3 : New business). Combining the strengths of 2 companies; namely Ichitan Group, a beverage company that can reach a wide range of customer groups across the country, and Predictive who has expertise in information technology will truly enhance the capability of Ichitan’s core business to truly enter Digital Intelligent Marketing while also enable Ichitan’s data management to be value-added benefit for the joint venture company that provides data services. All of that is for long term strengthened and stable performances of Ichitan group.
