Gartner Market Guide Loyalty

Antavo Was Listed as Representative Vendor in Gartner’s 2020 Market Guide for Loyalty Management

July 23, 2020

I’m pleased to announce that the world’s leading research and advisory company, Gartner, has recognized Antavo in its 2020 Market Guide for Loyalty Management, a report that can help readers navigate in today’s loyalty industry.

Being listed in this report by Gartner feels gratifying. Let us show you what we believe led to Antavo being recognized in this report. 

Antavo Was Named a Representative Vendor by Gartner

Gartner’s 2020 Market Guide for Loyalty Management recognizes Antavo as a pure-play loyalty management provider. We believe this suggests that Antavo is a good fit for enterprise-grade companies that already have a CRM system and want to manage a loyalty program on top of a SaaS technology platform.

However, there’s so much more to Antavo’s Loyalty Management Platform. In short, Antavo is strong both online and in-store, with a sophisticated loyalty logic for eCommerce and multiple products aiming to increase traffic for physical stores. For example, the Mobile Wallet solution, a touchless enrollment device and a scanner device, the latter being especially important for malls and companies that run a coalition loyalty program.

Focus on the role of customer loyalty initiatives within the martech roadmap to avoid creating new data silos. Select loyalty management partners that can provide unified customer data to power other marketing capabilities, such as personalization and real-time recommendations.
