What is NearBee?

NearBee is a beacon-aware app that lets users discover proximity-based relevant content making it the best Nearby alternative.

NearBee uses the Physical Web technology to scan for Eddystone URLs and displays the notification on both Android and iOS devices.

How is NearBee better and far superior to Google Nearby?

Nearby Notifications were delivered silently, repeatedly and became extremely spammy leading to a poor user experience which led to Google announcing its shut down.

NearBee, on the other hand, is void of these issues and provides a seamless, non-passive, rich notifications complete with visuals to the end-user.

Features of NearBee

• 1. NearBee delivers non-passive notifications

  NearBee alerts the users when proximity-based relevant content is available through a ringtone or vibration which can be determined by the end user. This increases the possibility of a consumer looking at and clicking on a notification as compared to silent Nearby notifications.

• 2. NearBee allows for a visually rich notification

  

  Notifications complete with a powerful CTA and an aesthetically pleasing images get delivered to the lock screen of both Android and iOS users, unlike Nearby’s service that only allowed for a generic notification.

• 3. Reach out to consumers without spamming them

  

  Unlike Nearby that repeatedly showed the same notification over and over, NearBee does not show duplicate notification unless the customer leaves the beacon range and re-enters after a couple of hours. Our powerful anti-spam algorithm enriches the end user's experience.

• 4. All notifications get delivered to the lock screen

  Nearby Notifications’ confusing editorial standards have not made it to NearBee which means every notification makes it the lock screen.

• 5. NearBee works with all beacons

  Being a hardware agnostic app, NearBee can work with your beacon even if you didn’t purchase them from Beaconstac.

Future Updates - NearBee

NearBee is scheduled to have certain future updates that will soon surpass what Nearby could do for a business.

• 1. NearBee will act as an app within an app

  When customers enter a particular store, NearBee’s UI will morph to reflect that business’s unique branding which means the in-app colors, content and icons will completely morph to stay true to their personal brand.

• 2. Tailored and targeted notifications for loyal customers

  NearBee will not treat every customer the same which was the case with Nearby. Businesses will be able to target loyal customers with rewards and promotions.

• 3. Send notifications to customers even when they are no longer in the beacon’s range

  NearBee will allow users to ‘follow’ businesses and receive controlled and timely updates from them even when they are no longer in the range of the beacon.

• 4. Cashierless checkout: Shop online from local businesses

  Businesses will be able to integrate their Shopify and Square stores with the app allowing customers to shop online whether they are at home or inside the store. This will help customers avoid long checkout lines and facilitate free pickup of their order at the store.

• 5. Retarget customers on Facebook and Google

  Brands and businesses will be able to retarget their customers on Facebook and Google using NearBee.
