Como's core mission is to bridge the gap between physical brick-and-mortar stores and the digital world. By leveraging data analytics, machine learning, and mobile-first touchpoints, Como empowers brick-and-mortar businesses to understand customer behavior, personalize interactions, and drive repeat visits and sales.

Core Product: Como Sense

The flagship product of the company is Como Sense, an all-in-one customer engagement and loyalty platform. Como Sense is designed to integrate directly with a business's existing Point of Sale (POS) system, creating a unified ecosystem that tracks customer transactions, preferences, and behavior in real-time.

Como Sense is divided into several interconnected modules that collectively manage the entire customer lifecycle.

1. Branded Mobile Apps

Como enables businesses to launch customized, white-label mobile applications for iOS and Android. These apps serve as the primary digital touchpoint between the brand and the consumer. Key features of the custom mobile apps include: * Mobile Ordering & Pay: Users can browse menus or product catalogs, place orders, and pay securely directly through the app for delivery or in-store pickup. * Digital Wallet: Supports the integration of credit cards, gift cards, and pre-loaded brand balances (stored value) to facilitate frictionless mobile payments. * Geofencing & Beacons: Utilizes location-based technology to send targeted notifications to customers when they are near a physical store location. * Interactive Features: Includes scratch cards, surveys, and feedback forms to drive ongoing user engagement.

2. Loyalty and Rewards Engine

The platform offers a highly configurable loyalty engine that moves beyond traditional punch cards. Businesses can design multi-tiered loyalty programs based on their specific goals: * Points-Based Programs: Customers earn points for every dollar spent, which can be redeemed for rewards, discounts, or exclusive merchandise. * Tiered Memberships: Encourages higher spending by unlocking premium benefits (e.g., Gold, Platinum tiers) as customers reach spending thresholds. * Digital Stamp Cards: A digital version of the classic buy-ten-get-one-free model, ideal for quick-service coffee shops and casual dining. * Gamified Loyalty: Features like digital spin-the-wheel and mystery rewards to make the loyalty experience more interactive and fun.

3. Marketing Automation Hub

Como Sense features a robust marketing automation suite that allows marketing teams to deploy automated, trigger-based campaigns without manual intervention. * Triggered Campaigns: Automatically sends personalized messages or offers based on specific user actions or events, such as a customer's birthday, sign-up anniversary, or after a period of inactivity (win-back campaigns). * Multi-Channel Communication: Reaches customers where they are active through push notifications, in-app pop-ups, SMS, and email marketing. * A/B Testing: Allows marketers to test different subject lines, discount offers, and media types to optimize campaign performance.

4. Data Analytics and Customer Relationship Management (CRM)

At the heart of Como Sense is a centralized CRM that aggregates data from all touchpoints (POS, mobile app, online ordering, and third-party delivery services). * 360-Degree Customer Profiles: Compiles comprehensive data on individual customers, including purchase history, average order value, preferred store locations, and favorite items. * Advanced Segmentation: Enables businesses to group customers based on behavior (e.g., "high spenders," "lunchtime regulars," "at-risk customers") to deliver hyper-targeted marketing. * Business Intelligence (BI) Dashboard: Provides managers and executives with real-time reports on key performance indicators (KPIs), such as overall campaign ROI, loyalty member registration rates, and sales attribution.

Integration Ecosystem

A major differentiator for Como is its extensive integration catalog. Instead of operating as an isolated silo, Como Sense acts as a middleware layer that connects a business's operational tech stack.

• POS Integrations: Como integrates out-of-the-box with over 100 leading Point of Sale providers globally, including NCR, Revel Systems, Toast, Lightspeed, Square, Oracle MICROS, and Clover. This allows for real-time validation of loyalty points and seamless promotion redemption at the cash register.
• E-commerce & Mobile Ordering Partners: Integrates with online ordering platforms like Olo, Shopify, and WooCommerce, ensuring that customers receive a unified loyalty experience whether they shop online or in-store.
• Delivery Services: Connects with major third-party delivery aggregators to track delivery orders and credit loyalty points appropriately to customer accounts.

Target Markets and Use Cases

Como serves businesses ranging from mid-sized regional chains to large-scale global enterprises. Its primary industries include:

• Food & Beverage (F&B) and QSR: Coffee shops, fast-food chains, and casual dining restaurants use Como to implement mobile ordering, manage busy lunch-hour rushes, and reward frequent diners.
• Retail: Fashion brands, specialty retail stores, and supermarkets leverage Como to track purchasing habits across physical and digital storefronts, sending targeted offers on items customers frequently purchase.
• Convenience Stores & Gas Stations: Utilizes the mobile app interface to encourage fuel customers to walk inside the convenience store for high-margin retail purchases through timed offers and push notifications.
