VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 16, 2024 / Perk Labs Inc. (CSE:PERK)(OTCPINK:PKLBF)(FKT:PKLB) ("Perk" or the "Company"), the owner of Getit Technologies Inc. ("Getit") announced that the Carleton University Students' Association ("CUSA") is pleased with Getit's mobile platform, and has requested that Getit begin the rollout of their full native app.
Carleton is an Ottawa university with more than 30,000 students, and 2,400 staff and faculty members. Getit currently facilitates delivery, pickup, and order to table for some of CUSA's food outlets through a custom branded web-app. Getit also processes all of CUSA's ticketing and registration for their games and events. Getit's native app will unify these payment options, making them accessible from a single user-friendly platform.
The rollout of the full native app is underway, and it is on track to be released in May. The app will soon include Getit's upcoming feature, loyalty points, which rewards customers for repeated purchases by granting them discounts as well as free items. This feature is fully configurable, and CUSA will be able to determine how loyalty points are granted, and create custom reward schemes and point redemption options. Getit's loyalty points can quickly and seamlessly be added to future native apps, and this feature will be made available for all Getit Custom clients. In addition, the full native app will allow CUSA to process more payment types, including donations.
"We're thrilled with the quality of food & beverage ordering from Getit's web app" said Carley Parsons, CUSA Director of Communications & Strategy. "With Getit's system, we're seeing increased sales and tipping, improved operational efficiency, and we're getting very positive feedback from students. We're looking forward to utilizing loyalty points to further drive sales growth, and to increase student engagement with CUSA services."
Getit clients who commission a native app should expect to see increased revenues, as the app's presence on the phone serves as a reminder of food & beverage ordering availability. The app also allows for much greater reach to customers, both through notifications for special promotions, and linking customers to their purchases for improved data analysis and targeted offerings.
"CUSA has served as an excellent case study for the effectiveness of Getit's technology in a campus environment" said Ben Lacroix, Chief Development Officer of Getit Technologies. "We're looking forward to working with the CUSA team to launch the native app that not only facilitates revenue growth, but also promotes CUSA's other services to students."
