PHOENIX, AZ - March 13, 2014 - Mobivity Holdings Corp. (OTCQB: MFON),
an award-winning provider of proprietary and patented mobile marketing technologies and solutions,
today announced that it has completed its acquisition of the assets and operations of SmartReceipt, Inc., a marketing solutions company whose software products transform traditional retail transaction receipts for Subway, Baskin-Robbins, Dairy Queen and others into engaging "smart" receipts that feature coupons and special offers for consumers. SmartReceipt was a privately owned company based in Santa Barbara, California.
Dennis Becker, chief executive officer of Mobivity, said, "We believe this acquisition has the potential to significantly transform Mobivity's product offering portfolio and create what we believe will be the largest installed base of any SaaS mobile loyalty program provider in the industry, with more than 17,000 locations. Going forward, the capability to integrate SmartReceipt's printed receipt data in combination with Mobivity's current SMS and Stampt mobile loyalty app allows our retailer customers to generate actionable data to craft specialized offers, coupons and messages based on actual individual purchasing histories. Additionally, we see opportunities to further integrate the technology beyond its current use to assist retailers to continue to retain their most loyal customers".
Like Mobivity's product offerings, SmartReceipt employs a SaaS-based monthly recurring revenue business model with most of its client base within the Quick Serve Restaurant (QSR) industry. Its customers pay a set monthly fee per location for use of the service. SmartReceipt's solution is compatible with over 80% of Point-of-Sale (POS) systems available in the marketplace today and transmits the printed receipt data from POS systems to SmartReceipt's cloud-based platform, enabling the QSR to store transactional data and dynamically control the receipt content in real-time. Up to 1.2 million receipt transactions are processed daily by SmartReceipt across more than 7,500 locations throughout the U.S., including major brands such as Subway, Baskin-Robbins and Dairy Queen.
Mike Bynum, President of Mobivity, commented, "In just the past month since we made the announcement, we have had tremendous interest from existing Mobivity customers in the SmartReceipt product offering, and vice versa. The enthusiasm by leading retailers around the country to the capabilities and unique integration of these technologies certainly provides us a level of excitement as we begin to roll out these products on an integrated basis. With more than 17,000 combined locations, we see significant opportunities for cross-selling going forward".
