2ergo launches NFC m-payments, loyalty platform

Monday 25 February 2013 11:41 CET | News

UK-based contactless mobile technology provider 2ergo Group has launched its podifi mobile loyalty and payments platform.

Podifi allows retailers to implement contactless mobile coupon redemption, loyalty, payments and store check-in. podifi technology is compatible with any Wi-Fi enabled handset and existing electronic point of sale (EPoS) terminals.

Podifi is based around a small hardware device called a pod, which can easily plug into any standard merchant cash till without needing any POS upgrade. Consumers use a smartphone app to transact and merchants and brands access a self-service cloud-based management platform, to create, launch and manage sophisticated mobile loyalty and payment programs. The resulting services are available to consumers with Wi-Fi equipped handsets.

To implement podifi merchants need to connect pods to a port on their EPoS terminals. A cloud-based management interface then provides them with the ability to offer offers, credits or vouchers to users on an individual or collective basis which then appear within the consumers mobile application. For users, voucher, credit or offer redemption is a matter of tapping the pod and the transaction is registered on the handset and the management interface. Merchants then have customer, pricing, location and time specific data to tailor the offers they provide and which can optionally be imported into their core business intelligence systems.
