EW-Shopp is carrying out a series of business-oriented pilots to test its innovative approach and tools in the real world. In piloting activities, KNOWAGE is being used at the user interaction stage as an Analytics Platform, open and flexible enough to adapt to various scenarios and able to provide advanced data visualization, smart intelligence and performance evaluation.

KNOWAGE was chosen thanks to its interactive and real time dashboards to visualize Business Analytics, its ease of installation and deployment and its capability to connect to multiple services and data sources (e.g. SQL databases, REST services etc.): a clear competitive plus.

One of the business cases were KNOWAGE is being integrated is about web-searches and is led by JOT Internet Media, a leading Spanish specialist digital marketing agency that generates huge amounts of qualified search traffic for premium partners and helps clients increase their web traffic, monetize it and generate extra revenue.

The EW-Shopp project aims to enable the development of data-driven services to improve the impact of Digital Marketing Campaigns by exploring and analyzing correlations between user search behavior and traits and weather data.
