ASCHHEIM, Germany, Feb. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Wirecard, the
global innovation leader for digital financial technology, and
wirecube have won Austria's
largest supermarket chain BILLA as a new customer. With the BILLA
Scan & Go app, customers can pay for their purchases directly
in the app. The solution can be used for all products that are
available in-store. Part of the REWE Group, BILLA operates 1,100
stores in Austria.
With BILLA Scan & Go, the entire purchasing process is
digitalized and simplified. Customers can not only scan desired
products themselves on their own mobile phones, but can also pay
for them directly in the app, thanks to Wirecard's integrated
payment solution. Queuing up will as a result become history. After
the payment is completed, a digital invoice is automatically
created which is compliant with local security and tax
regulations.
For recurring purchases, the payment details can be stored
directly in the app, further simplifying and accelerating the
entire process. Another advantage is the integration of the jö
Bonus Club in the app. The user needs to activate this function
only once, after which they can collect bonus points automatically
and no longer need to present their jö Card.
"At Wirecard, we want to make the payment process as fast,
simple and pleasant as possible. The new BILLA app is a further
example of how new technologies can be used to create outstanding
customer experiences that offer genuine added value for consumers,"
said Alexander Hahn, Vice President
Sales Retail at Wirecard.
"With BILLA Scan & Go, BILLA is being recognized as the
retail innovation leader in Austria. BILLA customers experience a new way
of shopping and it is exciting to see how well the app is
received," added Florian Burgstaller, CEO of wirecube.
Interested parties will be able to experience this and other
digital retail solutions up close this week at EuroShop in
Dusseldorf and in March at the
Internet World Expo in Munich.
