How they describe their product/innovation: Following FinovateSpring 2011 where edo unveiled the world’s first ever real-time redemption of a card-linked offer, we’re returning in 2012 to take the next step forward in our vision to transform shopping & saving. The innovation we’ll demo – the ability for a purchase at one merchant to trigger the awarding of an offer to a second, nearby merchant in real-time – shifts the focus of mobile advertising from “check-in” to “check-out.” Introducing “GeoCommerce” by edo, the next wave of innovation in the card-linked offers space.
