Showcase: Digital Loyalty Program for Retail grocery store chain Modern-Trade
A digital loyalty program for retail with a personal account for the grocery chain customers. The web- and mobile-based loyalty program for brand KopiikaTM was built. It ensures seamless access to the customer’s information (purchase history, bonuses, promotions) and improves the shopping experience.
Customer
Modern-Trade Ltd - Kopiika - a leading chain of retail supermarkets in Ukraine.
Background
Our customer has serious ambitions to become a top supermarket chain in the South of Ukraine, the whole Ukraine, and even in the neighboring countries. They have faced a problem – increased competition. Many other supermarket chains in the region have already switched from offline to the online and created online loyalty programs to engage their customers and make them come back.
So, he asked us to develop a system for users that will help them promote their supermarket chain, attract more buyers to increase profit and to become more competitive.
Web Solution
The platform we created integrates with the customer’s CRM system and features an admin panel that facilitates the work of administrators by allowing them to manage promotions easily.
Mobile Solution
The mobile apps feature convenient authorization via social networks. Users can view detailed reports about their bonuses, see their special offers and send their feedback with photos and videos. A great bonus is a barcode of the personal loyalty card that can be used in the stores.
