Claria introduces Web Intelligence Center for US advertisers
MUMBAI: Claria which works in the online behavioral marketing space in the US, has announced that in addition to the launch of the BehaviorLink ad network it is also launching the Web Intelligence Center platform
The new offering for advertisers and publishers will provide insights and data on anonymous consumer behavior that have never before been available. The Web Intelligence Center will provide marketers access to numerous metrics based on consumer behavioral data that will help them better understand consumer behaviour and assist in creating more relevant and targeted advertisements and personalised content.
The Web Intelligence Center is an analytics platform that will help provide publishers and marketers with unprecedented insight and analysis into anonymous consumer behavior across a broad spectrum of the Web, rather than on
a single site or limited group of sites. It will enable advertisers and publishers to have a broader understanding of the interests of their consumer audience; what content users are seeking to meet their information needs; what activities users perform before and after they see an ad – in increments of hours, days, weeks, or months; and how behavior differs between different levels of category usage and/or brand loyalty.
The Center provides both standard and customised reports for advertisers and publishers. One of the reports Usage Intensity provides insight into the quantity of consumer Internet sessions and also the relative quality of those sessions. It answers questions like how many pages were viewed, how long were those sessions and how that compares with other brands in the category. Marketers can gauge if current sessions are of sufficient depth to indicate online purchase and loyalty.
Another report Cross Traffic presents insights into the percentage of a brands audience is viewing the competition, and the percentage of competitive audiences visiting their brand. It provides advertisers with a better understanding of how well they are doing in the marketplace and helps them focus and concentrate advertising on their weaker segments.
Meanwhile the Cross-Browse For Purchasers report shows the browsing behaviour of consumers who made a purchase at a given site, including what other sites in the category they viewed within the 30-day period prior to that purchase. This report provides insight into the browsing behaviour of the online buyer as compared to all traffic to the
brand. Marketers are able to determine what other competitors are in a consumer’s consideration set.
The Loyalty report allows marketers to segment their category consumers by loyal, Switchers and Competitive sections. It answers questions like Of those that viewed a given brand’s site, what is the scope of their consideration set? The New To Brand Indices index offers a monthly benchmarking of the percentage of ad-driven consumers who view a site that had not been to the advertised site within a prior 30-day period. It gives advertisers a perspective into the performance of their own campaigns to new consumers, as well as understanding how the category performs in trial based targetting.

Ekart expands IKEA partnership with EV deliveries in Chennai
3PL to handle 600 plus products with 48 hour delivery via EV fleet.
MUMBAI: Flatpacks are going electric and your sofa might now arrive with a smaller carbon footprint. Ekart has expanded its partnership with IKEA to power last-mile deliveries in Chennai, doubling down on speed, scale and sustainability in one of India’s key urban markets. Under the collaboration, Ekart will manage end-to-end large-format deliveries for IKEA across the city using a 100 per cent dedicated electric vehicle fleet. The move makes Chennai the second major market after NCR-Delhi where Ekart handles IKEA’s last-mile logistics, signalling a broader rollout of EV-led supply chains.
The mandate is no small load. Ekart will oversee deliveries for over 600 products from IKEA’s catalogue, ranging from furniture to home décor—categories that demand specialised handling and precision logistics.
Backed by its technology-driven fulfilment network, Ekart is targeting deliveries within a 48-hour window, offering real-time tracking and end-to-end visibility from warehouse to doorstep. The focus is clear: faster turnarounds without compromising on control or customer experience.
The EV-first model also aligns with both companies’ sustainability goals, as urban logistics increasingly shifts towards zero-emission solutions. For IKEA, which continues to expand its omnichannel presence in India, reliable and eco-conscious last-mile delivery is becoming central to scale.
For Ekart, the partnership reinforces its positioning as an enterprise-grade logistics player in large-format commerce. The company already supports over 1,800 retail, D2C and enterprise brands, spanning last-mile delivery, part-truckload services and warehousing.
As India’s logistics ecosystem evolves, this collaboration highlights a growing trend: delivery is no longer just about distance, it’s about efficiency, experience and increasingly, emissions.
