next|card

next|card can be customized to suite any need and operate within multiple networks and systems. The open architecture of this product helps it to integrate with relative ease to any operating system.

The heart of the next|card is the Central Database and Reporting System or the CDRS. This is the central repository of all data that is needed to identify each card as a legitimate part of this network as well as to integrate the card with the various systems used by different organizations. The CDRS is the enabler of this next|card and is the integrating link between dissimilar systems, the corporate customer and its intended user.

Customers Accumulate Points on their Cards. With each visit, customers have their balance checked on an easy-to-use next|card terminal with built-in keypad and display. You define how many points your customers can receive with each dollar spent. New cards can be activated at the same terminal.

Electronic Purchasing (E-Purse). Use your points to purchase goods and services.

Gift Cards and Pre-paid Services. You can use a next|card for gift cards or as a next|card for prepaid products and services. Instead of accumulating points, you load value onto the card.

next|card Collect and Manage Marketing Data. In addition to coordinating loyalty cards and points, the loyalty system can collect and manage valuable marketing data from all transactions that use loyalty cards, including data about customer demographics, purchase frequency, product types purchased, and geographic area. Details of loyalty points and point-gaining transactions are captured by a stand-alone card terminal and/or next|card community site and transferred to a PC or a backend server for further analysis.
