Cellit, the mobile marketing and couponing solutions provider, launched its Widgit mobile coupon redemption technology for the Android platform enabling retailers and QSR brands to redeem and track mobile coupons in real-time without any integration with their POS system.
In addition to standard coupons, the Widgit for Android solution also includes mobile loyalty features, so that customers can easily debit their loyalty points for transactions directly to their accounts.
The Widgit client is now available for download from the Android Market, and there is also version of the application available for other platforms, including Windows Mobile and iOS.
Commenting on the launch, David Wachs (President of Cellit) said: “As a leader in mobile marketing and couponing, we have been issuing unique mobile coupon codes for years. The real hurdle has always been validation and redemption. Cellit provides multiple ways to handle this, from our open APIs to our Widgit for Windows-based POS systems. Now, we are excited to release the Widgit for Android devices. This small app allows the simple validation and redemption of mobile coupons from any Android device, making the program perfect for roving ticket takers or a mobile sales team. Furthermore, companies with antiquated POS systems, incapable of integrating with our API can now simply keep an Android tablet next to the register. This provides a cost effective, easy to implement solution.”
