Key Takeaways

Actowiz measured hard-boiled candy's presence across the impulse and checkout-shelf surfaces of q-commerce apps, quantifying which brands captured the high-conversion, last-second purchase moment. For impulse candy, being deep in a category page is worthless — what matters is presence in checkout, add-on, and impulse modules. Actowiz identified those surfaces consistently across apps and tracked brand presence and frequency within them, comparing the client against competitors. The result was a clear read on who won the checkout moment, where the client was absent, and which platforms to prioritise for impulse placement.

What did the client need?

The client is a confectionery brand for whom hard-boiled candy is an impulse buy — its success depends on being present in the last-second, checkout-shelf and impulse zones of q-commerce apps, not deep in category pages.

Actowiz measured hard-boiled candy's presence across the impulse and checkout-shelf surfaces of q-commerce platforms, quantifying which brands captured that high-conversion moment.

What made this hard?

Impulse-surface definition. Checkout, "add-on," and impulse modules had to be identified consistently across apps.
Placement, not just listing. Presence in impulse zones — not mere catalog listing — was the signal.
Platform variation. Each q-commerce app surfaces impulse items differently.
Brand set. Client and competitor candies had to be tracked in these zones.
Dynamic surfaces. Impulse modules change and personalize, needing careful capture.

How did Actowiz solve it?

Actowiz built capture focused on the impulse and checkout-shelf surfaces of q-commerce apps, measuring candy brand presence in that moment.

Impulse-surface capture. Checkout / add-on / impulse modules identified and captured.
Presence measurement. Brand presence and frequency in impulse zones tracked.
Competitive set. Client vs competitor candies compared for impulse visibility.

Structured output. Presence/share metrics by brand and platform.
