Business Challenges

1. Bank-Merchant Transaction Management Complexity

The necessity to handle transaction records and keep up-to-date information about merchants and banks became a challenge for these two parties because of disconnected transaction management processes.

2. Offer Management Complexity

Offer management became a challenge because of the need to consider various conditions related to the frequency of transactions, minimum amount of expenses, organizations involved in the process, products, and offer status.

3. Complex Dealing with Offer Benefits

The distribution of offer benefits to merchants, banks, and customers according to agreement terms was a complex process due to manual calculations and complicated financial management processes.

4. Limited Transaction Visibility

Detailed transaction reports for various organizations needed to be generated depending on the filter chosen, bank, merchant, date, and transaction number. It was impossible to do without a centralized system.

5. Absence of a Centralized System for Managing Loyalty Programs

Loyalty promotions, bonus points, and reward programs required management in one place due to the presence of several organizations that participated in these processes.

6. Insufficient Business Information

Firms required dashboards and analytics for tracking offers, loyalty points, transactions, and promotions. In the absence of visual data presentation, there was insufficient information on business trends.

Our Solutions

In order to solve the problems of banks and merchants, we created a central Merchant Value Added Services portal that integrates transaction processing, merchant management, offer management, deal configuration, loyalty management, reporting, and analytics.

Centralized Merchant & Bank Management

The solution includes special modules for managing merchant and bank details. Users are able to enter, search, display, and manage their details, making it a trustworthy source of information for transaction and offer management.

Automated Offer & Deal Management

With the help of the solution, administrators can set up promotional offers with pre-configured conditions and set up how the benefits will be allocated between banks, merchants, and customers, making the process of calculating promotional transactions easier and more accurate.

Transaction Reporting Integration

The solution includes transaction reports which can be filtered by such criteria as bank, merchant, transaction ID and date.

Loyalty and Promotions Management

In-built loyalty management functionality enables companies to design and manage loyalty promotions, set up bonus points, and monitor the status of promotions. Templates make it easier to design and manage regular promotions and loyalty programs.

Dashboard and Analytics

Interactive dashboards offer visual representations of information on offers, transactions, and loyalty programs in the form of charts and graphs. Companies can keep track of expiring and expired offers, hourly statistics of offers, as well as earned and redeemed loyalty points.
