Business Challenges 

The goal of Comarch Loyalty Management implementation for MAPCO Express was to provide a tool for setting up, running and monitoring an innovative loyalty program that will make it possible to:

MAPCO’s main challenge was to create a program which is convenient, easy to use and valuable for customers.

Implemented Product

Comarch Loyalty Management implemented in MAPCO offers a broad portfolio of new features:
  • CPG discount rules – used for cents per gallon discounts; for gas stations that support price rollback at the pump it is possible to configure the system to lower the price per gallon on the dispenser display before the customer starts pumping fuel.
  • Line item discounts – used for partial discounts for individual products purchased,
  • Reward clubs – when a customer purchases a certain product, one automatically becomes a club member and the system tracks the number of club products purchased. After the customer made the correct amount of qualifying purchases, he is instantly rewarded free item on next purchase,
  • Automatic ticket level discounts – used for providing discounts based on the total value of the transaction,
  • Random rewards – giving away random rewards are used for creating the “wow effect”,
  • Bank discounts - gives the customer the same discount type as immediate discounts, but instead the customer can utilize the discount in the future,
  • Giveaways – available only for registered customers. Qualification is based on the number of loyalty card swipes; each swipe the customer increases their chance to win a special reward.

Points redemption process is always automatic in order to speed up checkout process.

By taking advantage of real-time processing, Comarch Loyalty Management enables to communicate with customers instantly through personalized messages at the fuel pump, on the receipt and in store. In addition the system offers other ways of communication with program members. Certain events during the customer lifecycle may result in creating an email communication.
