We welcome SPAR Cyprus to our CYDGX users family!

International Giant SPAR Supermarkets opened its doors in Cyprus with their first store in Larnaca, and we are very happy to have partnered up with them to offer an innovative and exciting service to their customers!

Materialising on SPAR’s  moto  of “What really matters is that your shopping experience is valuable” we have enabled consumers  to seamlessly purchase airtime top-ups, mobile internet, and  pre-paid money vouchers in a single transaction along with all their groceries at any POS checkout at SPAR – just by requesting it from the cashier!

Through the CYDGX service powered by the PREPAYXL cloud framework, SPAR can avail a wide range of digital products to their customers without any logistics, administration or inventory costs. All fully digitised! Soon, charity donations will also be added through the same innovative channel of service

Following the success of the first opening in Cyprus, SPAR plans to open another 20 stores nationwide over the next 5 years, and we can’t wait to implement more of our digital transformation services and together create more exciting experiences for the consumer!

Cyprus FinTech 2.0 – The Age of Unicorns

Cyprus FinTech Expo 2.0 took place on 13th Nov 2018 and we were there!

PHILOSHOPERS attended to engage with the local FinTech community! We felt right at home this year as the innovative use of technology towards an overall better customer experience is what our solutions deliver to the Financial Services industry, much alike our solutions for the Retail industry too, and it felt good! This message was echoed by most of the speakers and attendees as a core objective needed to win in a highly competitive landscape!

Addressing the enthusiastic crowd of 500+ new and familiar faces, our Co-Founder and Director Demetris Constantinou, introduced the FinTech & Banking Session, posing the question; ‘to bank or not to bank?’. Although Banks may generally view the FinTech Unicorns as a threat, embracing and turning into fintech hubs themselves is actually an opportunity that we see gaining traction internationally – something we like to call #Fintechgration.

Further down the line, Demetris then introduced the New Technologies session demonstrating the fundamental ABC’s of the new digital era; AI, Blockchain, Cloud, Data (and more Data..), emphasizing  that the 4th Industrial Revolution we are currently experiencing, came much sooner and bolder than ever before – technologies such as AI and the Cloud may not be so “new” however, amazing use cases surface at speeds we have not experienced before.

Keynote speaker Siam Kidd closed the conference with a great keynote point; Disrupt yourself or else be disrupted! He gave many examples of businesses that failed to do so and vanished and predicted which ones may soon be history – The only companies that will THRIVE in the new tech shift are those that aren’t scared to step outside the box and imagine the endless possibilities! When we, as PHILOSHOPIC, help businesses disrupt their legacy and successful customer loyalty and engagements programs, we certainly do exactly that; help them ride the new wave before the newcomers disrupt the industry again and get left behind or on the sidelines. The beauty of SMASH Loyalty & Consumer Engagement framework is that it can support both legacy and next-gen solutions!

It was an awesome event and a great opportunity for us to engage with the Cyprus FinTech Community – Thank you IMH for the invitation and we look forward for FinTech Expo 3.0! In the meantime we will continue to help Retailers, Distributors, Brands and Financial Services organizations meet and exceed their objectives through our technologies!

For the first time ever in Cyprus, charity donations can be digitally executed at kiosks all over the country! The service is launching on October 3rd at the same day ΠΑΣΥΚΑΦ (www.pasykaf.org –  Pancyprian Association of Cancer Patients) is launching their annual street donation collections campaign named “With 2 Euros we keep going – TOGETHER IN LIFE”

Anyone visiting one of the hundreds of kiosks (convenience stores) served by Kronos Corporate Group newly launched DEAZY service can simply donate the amount of choice (2euro, 5 euro, 10 euro or multiples) directly and seamlessly to ΠΑΣΥΚΑΦ all under the same receipt as their other purchases! The consumer will get a charity coupon issued by the system while in real time the beneficiary charity will have visibility of all incoming donations for audit and planning purposes!

The solution is powered by our SMASHeVouchers framework solutio, and offered through Kronos’ new DEAZY service. The concept, design and development have all been executed by PHILOSHOPIC while the deployment, operations and marketing are handled by Kronos Corporate Group.

We are honoured to support this charitable cause and proud for our contribution to the local society and those in need.  The service enables ΠΑΣΥΚΑΦ to extend the channels of donation collections without requiring additional volunteers and admin cost. Further more enables availability of points of cash donation that are easy to reach 365 days a year and in most locations 24/7!

If you are in Cyprus, visit your closest DEAZY-enabled kiosk and donate
