Couchbase and Gimbal, Inc. announced a strategic partnership to drive a wide range of powerful new mobile applications. Under the partnership, the two companies are delivering an integrated solution combining Couchbase Mobile, a complete NoSQL mobile database solution, with Gimbal's breakthrough mobile engagement platform comprised of a unique combination of geofencing, Bluetooth Low Energy beacons and analytics. Using Gimbal and Couchbase, developers can build applications that deliver a real time, personalized and consistent experience.

Couchbase Mobile stores data locally, on the device, providing a consistent, fully connected experience, even without a consistent network connection. Having the data stored locally on the device makes it possible for Gimbal beacons to serve customers in any location with real time customized content. The partnership opens the door to a broader variety of retail, hospitality and transportation apps.
