Our Vision
Brick-and-mortar commerce in the US alone is a multi-trillion dollar category but most businesses still severely lack the data and tools to deliver personalized, closed-loop marketing. Thanx is on a mission to change this permanently.

Why we do it

Helping brick-and-mortar businesses be more data-driven.

As competition for customers’ attention intensifies, it has never been more important for brick and mortar businesses to have a 360° view of the people that keep them in business. But collecting and understanding customer data is riddled with market, resource, and technology challenges. Solving these challenges is why we get up in the morning.

Being data-driven matters
