Connect+Save™ is a native extension of the CATAPULT® retail automation suite, designed to transform how retailers engage with shoppers at the point-of-sale. With just a phone number, customers can instantly associate with transactions, clip and redeem personalized coupons, and create loyalty accounts—right at the point-of-sale.
It starts with a connection
No more asking shoppers to repeat spelling, no more squinting at payment device screens. With Connect+Save, shoppers can onboard straight to your Loyalty program using your existing touch screens or purpose-built customer information displays. Fewer errors and effort equal more customers and cleaner data in your database.
Then comes the automated coupons
Who doesn’t like free money? Instead of just printing a coupon for future use, Connect+Save automatically serves your shoppers manufacturer coupons that they can use on the transaction at hand. No piece of receipt paper to get lost in the wash, just instant savings and a memorable impact for your shopper.
It ends with return visits
Not only does Connect+Save serve shoppers coupons to use on current transactions, but if the retailer is utilizing CATAPULT Cognition® Artemis™, the AI will review their past buying habits and suggest coupons that the shopper can digitally clip and use on their return visit.

Don't take it from us, see what retailers are saying about Connect+Save:
"I am very happy that I chose the Connect & Save program for the onboarding process for our Loyalty customers. It streamlined the sign-ups and the opt-ins for the customers without them having to provide a driver's license or verbally state their personal information out loud to a cashier. I chose the 15" customer facing touchscreen which made the process all the easier for our customers to read and type in their information. I highly recommend Connect & Save to anyone who is considering the LoyaltyBot program and wants to onboard their customers in an efficient manner"
-Rebecca Linebaugh, owner of Nature's Way Market, Greensburg, PA
