Open Reply was also involved in the development of OBI's marketing technology (MarTech) landscape. This includes replacing traditional paper inserts with advanced digital solutions, resulting in a more efficient and targeted customer approach. The creation of a central communication hub within this MarTech landscape enables cross-organisational and targeted communication with end customers. This hub connects all touchpoints in the “heyOBI” app with its comprehensive database, ensuring seamless data exchange between different departments and employees at OBI. It allows the company to personalise offers and advice to customers and provide a better customer journey.
Furthermore, new communication channels and platforms, such as a customer mailbox and new areas on the website, have been introduced to increase engagement and generate more customer contacts. These channels allow customers to contact OBI directly and be put in touch with the most appropriate expert from a pool of OBI employees. Store navigation tools and an integrated customer card with couponing functionality complete the shopping experience.
The "heyOBI" app has seen strong growth in recent years, reaching more than six million users, which speaks to the high level of acceptance of the service. This is also reflected in the app's consistently positive ratings of 4.6 out of 5 stars in the Apple App Store with over 90,000 reviews.
John Krieger, senior vice president digital customer platform at OBI, commented: "Our transformative approach aims to deliver a seamless, customer-centric home improvement experience. The integration of digital solutions, in-store tools and personalised communications reflects our commitment to meeting the evolving needs of DIY and garden enthusiasts. With Open Reply's support, we will be able to guide our customers through their entire DIY journey and establish ourselves as a pioneer in customer-centric service design."

Organisation behind the Government AI Readiness Index proposes a City AI Readiness Index, based on a new study of Abu Dhabi Cities are integrating artificial intelligence into public services and operations with no shared framework for measuring or comparing how prepared they are to do so safely, effectively or accountably.

To start closing that gap, Oxford Insights researchers studied AI readiness across six cities. They found that all share the same core priorities, from governance and funding to talent and infrastructure, but take dist
NEG Develops “BDX-3,” a New Starveil™ Ultra-thin Cover Glass for a Wider Range of Space Environments6.10.2026 03:00:00 CEST | Press release
Nippon Electric Glass Co., Ltd. (NEG) (TOKYO: 5214) has developed “BDX-3,” a new Starveil™ ultra-thin cover glass for space applications. BDX-3 is designed to reduce radiation-induced discoloration while providing greater ultraviolet (UV) shielding performance than BDX-2. While primarily intended for low Earth orbit (LEO), it can also be used in medium Earth orbit (MEO) and high Earth orbit, making it suitable for a wider range of space environments. Samples are now available for purchase, and NEG aims to achieve commercial adoption of BDX-3 in satellites and other spaceborne equipment. About BDX-3 Satellites and other equipment operating in space are exposed to intense UV radiation and other forms of radiation. Low Earth orbit is widely used for Earth observation and communications, medium Earth orbit for positioning systems, and high Earth orbit for communications and weather observation. Cover glass used in these environments must not only protect precision equipment from harsh cond
