Out of the shop, still your customer.

Today you know what they bought. In three weeks you know what to offer them.

For them it is a purchase. For you it is a habit.

Three lines on the same receipt. For RelAI, three clues about how they shop.

Select a line on the receipt and see what RelAI finds in it.

Customer: Giulia Conti Receipt #0841

What is one extra visit a year worth?

Put in your shop's numbers. It is arithmetic, not a promise.

One extra visit each

13,600 €

400 customers × 34 €

Revenue, not margin. It does not count costs and it does not say how many will respond.

What you sell does not change. When you write does.

Every customer has their own rhythm. RelAI keeps count, you choose what to say.

Marta, the first purchase

She buys for the first time on a Saturday afternoon. She scans the QR code at the counter, leaves her name and consent, and has the loyalty card on her phone before she walks out.

The receipt you ring up stays attached to her profile and the stock level drops on its own. From that first purchase you already know what she buys.

Point of sale

Paolo, a customer of two shops

He buys in the town centre and collects on the outskirts. To him it is one shop, and the points should follow him from one to the other.

Purchases and preferences sit in a single profile, whichever till he uses. Whoever serves him on the outskirts sees the same history as whoever serves him in the centre.

Customer management

Davide, the regular

He comes in every week and is among the customers who spend the most. He does not know he is twenty points from the reward, or that the August coupon expires on Friday.

Message for Davide

"Davide, you are twenty points from your reward. The August coupon is valid until Friday."

The balance updates at the till, the reward triggers at the threshold you chose and the reminder arrives while the coupon is still valid.

Digital loyalty card

What shops using RelAI say

“Nobody ever carried the paper cards. Now the points update at the till and the coupon goes out on its own: people come back sooner.”

Cristina C.

Perfumery · Vicenza

“For the sales I wrote only to the regulars instead of the whole list. I spent half as much and got more replies.”

Alberto M.

Clothing shop · Treviso

“I am not good with software, but customer details, points and promotions are all in one place. I have stopped chasing Excel sheets.”

Questions about shops and retail?

How is the customer recognised at the till?

The customer shows the loyalty card on their phone and you scan the code. Points, purchase history and preferences update automatically. Nothing changes at the till.

Do I need a physical card?

No. The card lives on the customer's phone and updates on its own. No printing, no new cards when you change your logo or your promotion.

I have several shops: does the customer stay the same?

Yes. They buy in the centre and collect on the outskirts: there is a single profile. You can still look at the numbers shop by shop.

Can I write to only some of my customers?

Yes, that is the point. Pick the people who buy from a given category, who have not been in for sixty days, who have points to spend. Anyone outside the selection gets nothing. See campaigns and automations.

Where do we start?

You set up the card, the sign-up page and the first contact rules. How much work it takes depends on how many shops you have and what you want to launch first: one call is enough to work it out.
