What is a retail promo engine?

A retail promo engine is software that automates the creation, targeting, and delivery of promotional offers  to customers at checkout and across digital channels. It uses real-time transaction data to trigger personalized discounts, coupons, and incentives — ensuring every promotion reaches the right customer at the right moment.

How does a retail promotion engine work?

A retail promotion engine connects to a retailer’s POS system and uses live basket data to evaluate which promotions apply to each customer in real time. When a transaction is processed, the engine selects and delivers the most relevant offer — whether a printed coupon, digital message, or loyalty reward — within milliseconds of purchase.
