The Opportunity

Problem

Small retail business owners are frustrated by clunky loyalty programs in retail tech that fail to track customer purchases across multiple channels like in-store and online.

Solution

OmniLoyal automatically syncs customer purchases from POS systems like Square and e-commerce platforms like Shopify into a unified loyalty program. Business owners set rules for points and rewards, visible to customers via a shared web app. It eliminates manual entry and clunky multi-tool setups for true omnichannel loyalty.
