Purchase loyalty for South African brands

A loyalty programme your brand runs itself.

A shopper buys, scans a code that proves it, and your promotion decides what it earns. Qumo counts it and keeps the record.

How it works.

  1. 01

    Buy.

    A shopper buys something from you.

  2. 02

    Scan.

    They scan a code that proves it: a till slip, a code printed under a pack, or a sticker. There is no app to install. They sign in with a phone number and a one-time code.

  3. 03

    Count.

    Your promotion decides what the scan is worth. Qumo counts it and keeps the record. You see your totals in the console.

Three ways to earn

You choose how a scan earns.

  • A flat amount per scan.

    Every valid scan earns the same.

  • A share of the basket.

    A percentage of what was spent. This needs a till slip, because only a slip says what was spent.

  • A stamp card.

    Shoppers collect stamps toward a reward. When the card completes, the reward is earned.

Every valid scan earns 10.

What you get

What a brand gets.

The console.

Set up promotions and see your totals. A built-in guide walks you through setting a programme up.

Illustration. Made-up data.

Codes that fit how you sell.

A till slip, a code printed under a pack, or a sticker.

You never see a shopper's number.

A brand never sees a mobile number, and the console has no screen that shows an individual shopper. You see your own totals.

Your data is kept apart.

Every brand's records are separated from every other brand's by the way the system is built, not by convention. You see only your own members' activity.

Each brand sees its own totals. The number stays with Qumo.

A balance that adds up.

A balance is always the sum of its rows. There is no stored total for anyone to disagree about.

Shoppers stay in control.

They can download everything held about them, leave your programme, or delete their account, without asking anyone.

One wallet per shopper.

A shopper has a single Qumo account however many brands they use, so their history does not start again when one promotion ends.

Proof of purchase

You choose how strict to be.

Pick the weakest proof you are willing to accept. Each step up asks more of your stores.

StricterSigned slipWhat it guaranteesThe till signs the total, so it cannot be edited between the till and the scan.What it costsEvery store needs a signing secret printed on its slips.
LighterQumo code on the slipWhat it guaranteesEach slip earns once and only once, and only if recent, enforced by the database.What it costsA shopper who edits their own receipt will be believed.

Whichever you choose, a cap on total payout keeps the cost bounded.

The shopper's side

Your programme wears your brand.

Shoppers reach their wallet with a phone number and a one-time code. There is no password and nothing to install. It shows their balance with you, their rewards and their history. It uses your accent colour and your typeface, and Qumo appears once, in the footer: "Your Brand rewards, run on Qumo."

Your accent, your typeface.
