Many retailers across Canada entered the market without a loyalty strategy in place, missing opportunities to retain customers, capture first-party data, and drive repeat purchases.

Early loyalty attempts through outdated or non-compliant platforms caused operational headaches, data silos, and inconsistent customer experiences across stores. Retailers needed a modern, compliant, and scalable loyalty foundation that could support growth across multiple channels and markets.
