Gamma Communications, a New York promotional-marketing agency serving household consumer brands, needed a way to run purchase-based promotions without coupons, packaging changes, or heavy retailer involvement. In 2017, De Faveri Consulting's founder led the development of Receipt Rewards, a mobile fulfillment platform where consumers buy a product, snap their receipt, and text it in. OCR technology validates the purchase and delivers a reward straight to their phone.
The platform became the engine behind national promotions for brands including Unilever, Knorr, Hellmann's, Scotch, Fandango and Novamex, and it is now Gamma's signature offering. Nearly a decade later it has validated some 100,000 consumer receipts across three to six national promotions every year, and we still run every part of its technology: architecture, infrastructure, campaign launches, and the emergencies that never get to become the client's problem.
This is what fractional CTO means to us: not advice from the sidelines, but a platform that has made our client money for eight years straight, with the same technical leadership answering the phone the whole time.
The platform
What Receipt Rewards does.
OCR receipt validation
Consumers buy, snap their receipt, and text or email it in. The platform reads it, validates the purchase, and delivers the reward to their phone in moments.
Campaign engine
Retailer-specific promotions launched without touching product packaging. New campaigns are configured and live on tight brand timelines.
Brand-grade analytics
Redemption data, basket composition, retailer performance, and geographic insight: the reporting national brands expect from a promotion partner.
Built to spike
Promotion traffic is bursty by nature. The platform absorbs national campaign launches and stays smooth when a promotion takes off.
What the client says
“Always available, endlessly patient in explaining every decision, calm in every emergency, and the quality of the platform has never let us down.”
