Fairfax, VA – November 1, 2023 – Liquid Barcodes Inc., a prominent player in the global loyalty and digital marketing technology sector, is aggressively expanding its presence in North America, bolstering its resources and growth strategy to cater to the convenience industry.
Saurabh Swarup, GM North America, expressed, “We are dedicated to delivering seamless, frictionless, and innovative app-based loyalty and subscription solutions for convenience retailers. Our goal is to foster sustainable customer engagement and loyalty by aiding retailers in boosting sales through rewards, incentives, gamification, and subscription programs. In addition, we offer a revolutionary app-based pump activation and fuel pay solution designed to save retailers millions in swipe fees.”
