Snipp Receives a US$1.2MM Order From a Leading Global CPG Company

TORONTO, Sept. 20, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Snipp Interactive Inc. ("Snipp" or the "Company") (TSX-V: SPN; OTCPK: SNIPF), a global provider of digital marketing promotions, rebates and loyalty solutions, today announced that it has secured a US$1.2MM program order with a leading CPG company (the ‘Customer'). The Customer, a longstanding Snipp client, is an American multinational food-manufacturing company and a member of the Fortune 500, ranking in the upper half of the largest corporations in the U.S. Their products can be found in more than 90 percent of all U.S. homes.

The Customer had signed the original Master Services Agreement in 2015 that established Snipp as the corporation's receipt technology supplier. Under the agreement, Snipp provided the Customer with the SnippCheck market leading receipt processing solution for use in their loyalty program, one of the largest brand loyalty programs in the country. With SnippCheck, consumers can take photos of their receipts showing qualifying brand purchases and have their points automatically credited into their loyalty account. As an alternate to their code-on-pack redemption mechanism, Snipp's receipt processing solution drastically mitigated the time, inconvenience and operating costs of the previous engagement model.

Based on the success of the program and the efficiency of the Snipp solution, the Customer has extended the program for another 2 years on the Snipp platform. This extension will represent billings of a minimum of US$1.2MM with the potential of billings capped at $2MM in any given year based on a variable component of the program.

"We are especially pleased to have expanded our relationship with this global CPG giant and to see our solutions adding value to their ongoing loyalty program," said Atul Sabharwal, Chief Executive Officer at Snipp. "We're excited by the proven scalability of our SnippCheck receipt processing solution not just for the volume of receipts processed, but also for the consumer intelligence our platform has demonstrated, which enables our clients to better understand their customers based on the purchase data we capture.  We are continuing to build on our expertise to develop even more sophisticated solutions centered around machine learning and artificial intelligence, as evidenced by our recent acquisition of Ziploop Inc. In coming months, we look forward to sharing a number of exciting initiatives that will include new technology and enhancements to our platform, giving us strong momentum into 2019 as the clear leader in our space."
