Snipp will, pursuant to the MSA, implement a customer retention and management platform covering all CLS locations across Snipp’s, SnippCheck, SnippRewards and SnippLoyalty platforms. Snipp will leverage the accumulated knowledge and deep expertise it has acquired in designing and launching marketing programs in other highly regulated industries like Pharma, Alcohol and tobacco to help CLS run effective and legally compliant promotion and loyalty programs to meet their marketing objectives.
“We have explored a number of loyalty platforms and after extensive review and consultation with Snipp have concluded that Snipp’s robust and highly flexible platform allows us to deploy a system that we can leverage as we grow the CLS platform” said Jeff Binder, CEO of CLS.
“We are energized by the interest received in our platform and expertise by entities in the cannabis industry. Clearly there is a need that is currently unmet for flexible marketing solutions that can be leveraged across the industry ecosystem and we hope to be the go to resource that fills that need. CLS is a great example of a forward looking company that intends to run a vertically integrated business that is already thinking through the finer points of their future business and operating model” said Atul Sabharwal, CEO of Snipp.
