Real-time transaction data and loyalty platform for brick-and-mortar retail
AppCard captures item-level POS data in real time across multi-location retail operations, then combines it with customer identity data from a rewards program to power targeted marketing. The tech stack (Python, PostgreSQL, Sisense, Salesforce) supports analytics and campaign delivery; current projects focus on IoT device management and observability, while pain points center on scaling device infrastructure and improving product adoption within existing customers—suggesting a shift from new customer acquisition toward embedding deeper into installed accounts.
