Problem Summary:
Fivestars wanted to add payments to their marketing and loyalty platform to seamlessly link customer identities to payment methods. To do so successfully, Fivestars wanted a neutral technology partner to help them retain control over transaction data without having to deal with PCI-DSS compliance, and without being locked into any one payment processor.
Solution Summary:
Partnering with VGS, Fivestars created a personalized customer checkout experience on par with global QSR brands, while quickly and efficiently helping thousands of small businesses onboard consumers onto their loyalty program. By Fivestars’ calculation, working with VGS saved them nearly $1M and at least six months of development time, allowing them to get to market faster and focus on building their loyalty platform instead of building more compliance overhead.
