Success story
The Liefhebbers program at Jan Linders is an excellent example of a true omnichannel customer experience. Customers can get a physical card to use in store or simply use the app to identify themselves at the checkout.
The point of sale (PoS) system can scan barcodes and load customer data, including promotion eligibility, straight from SAP Marketing Cloud.
To achieve this, it was important to get the existing and new applications integrated as a full solution stack, covering all business scenarios designed by the Jan Linders marketing team.
