PROVIDENCE, RI - Shoppers are keeping an eye on their spending now more so than ever, and United Natural Foods, Inc. (UNFI) is endeavoring to help its retail customers meet their needs. A united front has been formed between UNFI and CoupDog, as the duo helps its retail customers advance by providing access to its state-of-the-art digital coupon technology.
“Retailers rely on UNFI to help them discover what’s next, introduce them to new opportunities to drive growth and efficiencies, and deliver insights and expertise that help them succeed in their market. To that end, we’re excited to be working with CoupDog to unleash the latest in digital technology to redefine coupons for grocery retail,” said Chris Testa, President at UNFI. “Our focus is on solutions that empower retailers to grow and thrive while improving the customer experience for shoppers. These technologically advanced coupons not only deliver a more reliable and secure transaction, but they are also structured to reduce costs, improve cash flow, increase shopper loyalty, and drive retailer profits.”
The distributor is continuing to keep its customers top of mind by helping them operate their stores more efficiently. With this partnership in place, retailers will be utilizing CoupDog’s Blockchain technology to access an easy-to-use and reliable digital coupon that can be integrated into mobile wallets or printed. As noted in the release, CoupDog’s solution also fully supports the new 8112 Universal Digital Coupon format.
Coupons have been a successful way to drive consumers to stores through discounts and deals; however, retailers have had to balance the benefits with fraud concerns related to traditional coupons. CoupDog’s technology addresses those concerns while making it easy and hassle-free for shoppers to discover and redeem coupons from national, regional, and emerging consumer goods companies.
“We are very excited to be working with UNFI to empower independent grocers to deliver a modern, simple, easy-to-use digital coupon platform,” added Rob Balfour, Chief Executive Officer of CoupDog. “We are proud to provide these retailers with best-in-class promotional tools, allowing them to deliver compelling promotions and significant cost savings to their customers.”
CoupDog digital coupons easily integrate with a retailer’s point-of-sale, e-commerce, and marketing platforms to create a seamless omnichannel experience for shoppers. Coupon acceptance, validation, and redemption are completely managed by the solutions company, with no additional labor required from retailers.
