PALO ALTO, CA--(Marketwire - Dec 12, 2012) - TIBCO Software Inc. (
According to Aberdeen Research's March 2011 Next Generation Customer Loyalty report, "The instant gratification mentality of today's consumer has made an impact on retailers, as they are now addressing the issue of real-time rewards." The report ties real-time capabilities to industry leadership: "Currently, 25% of Leaders, compared to 16% of Followers, offer real-time rewards to their loyalty members."
"Consumers are savvier in-person and online buyers than ever before -- just look at the competition between retailers this holiday season," said Matt Howland, vice president at TIBCO Loyalty Lab. "Retailers require real-time capabilities that recognize customers instantly and quickly respond with customized offers suited to their specific buying habits -- giving consumers a reason to remain loyal, while giving retailers new opportunities to increase revenue and provide unparalleled service to those critical return customers."
Loyalty Lab now gives retailers more flexibility and competitive differentiation amid big data and heavy competition. Loyalty Lab Reward 12.3, with targeting control and real-time optimization, offers greater ability to capture and process transactions, basket contents and reward redemptions in real time, while continuing to update customer account activity immediately. Benefits of Loyalty Lab Reward 12.3 include:
Real-Time API Data Processing: Marketers can now ensure real-time processing of threshold point calculations and reward issuance, so customers can access benefits as soon as they are accrued -- online, in-store or via their mobile phones.
