In recent developments, Formosa Optical has accelerated its digital transformation by partnering with Appier since around 2019, implementing a Customer Data Platform in 2024 to unify online and offline data for AI-driven customer segmentation, behavior prediction, and personalized recommendations across its mobile app, website, email, and SMS channels. This initiative includes launches of AI-powered personalization features, CRM enhancements, augmented reality (AR) contact lens try-on capabilities, and omnichannel marketing strategies, culminating in the company winning the 2025 IDC Future Enterprise Awards Special Award for Customer Experience in both Asia/Pacific and Taiwan categories on November 26, 2025. These enhancements have shortened marketing campaign workflows sevenfold, boosted e-commerce conversions, and improved repurchase rates while leasing facilities to affiliate Yung Sheng Optical Co., Ltd., reinforcing its position in Taiwan's eyewear retail sector.
