Project summary

In April 2023, EQUIVA began its digital transformation by replacing a paper sticker-point loyalty card with a mobile app.

Key results | February 2025

  • 80% of business goes through the loyalty program
  • 30% year-over-year increase in average annual revenue per customer
  • 21% increase in physical store visits
  • Over 12,000 referred customers, saving approximately EUR 240,000 in customer acquisition costs
"The open API-first approach supported by the Open Loyalty model helped us to transform extremely fast. In less than four months, we switched from a paper card...to an app that works omnichannel." — Fritze von Berswordt, Managing Director, EQUIVA GmbH

About the EQUIVA Friends loyalty program

For every euro spent, members earn two Hearts, progressing through three tiers: Friend, Best Friend, and Soulmate, unlocking up to 10% discount.

"We wanted to create an emotional relationship with all our customers. We decided to move from competition-like tiers...and instead refer to our customers as friends, best friends, and ultimately soulmates." — Fritze von Berswordt
