Eagle Eye Launches Smart Rewards for Omnichannel Retail Loyalty

Eagle Eye, a prominent provider of SaaS and AI-driven marketing solutions, has introduced Smart Rewards, a real-time customer engagement platform designed to enhance omnichannel retail loyalty. This new offering forms an integral part of the company’s Smart Checkout product suite, enabling retailers to deliver precisely targeted incentives to loyalty program members at the very moment of purchase. The system processes intricate loyalty calculations with remarkable speed, ensuring a seamless and responsive checkout experience.

The solution empowers brands to provide personalized customer experiences across every sales channel without compromising on speed or accuracy. For instance, a customer at a department store could automatically receive a discount they previously earned, applied instantly during checkout. What sets this apart is the platform’s ability to handle all eligible discounts, rewards, and loyalty points in under 150 milliseconds. This rapid processing helps retailers overcome the limitations of conventional point-of-sale systems and deploy loyalty incentives on a much larger scale.

Jonathan Reeve, Eagle Eye’s Regional Sales Director for Australia and New Zealand, emphasized how Smart Rewards transforms the checkout process. He noted that while many existing loyalty systems struggle with real-time execution, this new platform identifies the shopper, evaluates their basket, delivers a tailored reward, and updates their digital wallet, all within milliseconds. For customers, this means a faster and more satisfying shopping journey. For retailers, it offers a smarter way to enhance customer lifetime value and encourage immediate offer redemption.

Reeve also highlighted that Smart Rewards seamlessly integrates promotions, coupons, and loyalty programs across all channels, supported by strong fraud protection measures. Built on a cloud-based, API-first architecture, the system can connect with a retailer’s current technology stack, delivering rapid value without the expense or complexity of replacing existing loyalty infrastructure.

Tim Mason, CEO of Eagle Eye, added that the platform helps retailers meet rising consumer expectations by enabling instant customer recognition and relevant reward application, no matter where the transaction occurs. With Smart Rewards, brands can craft shopping experiences that feel immediate, consistent, and scalable across every customer interaction.

Here’s how the system operates: when a loyalty member checks out, Smart Rewards identifies them, scans their basket contents, and checks their digital wallet for applicable discounts, points, or incentives. It then cross-references reward eligibility with the items in the cart, applies the appropriate discounts to the total, and sends the updated amount back to the point-of-sale system in real time. At the same time, it updates the customer’s digital wallet with new points balances and rewards, which retailers can display via their app or website.

To prevent misuse, the platform includes multiple fraud protection and offer management tools. These include a promotions ordering feature that prioritizes multiple offers, stacking rules to manage how many offers can be used together, and item promotion limits to avoid over-rewarding specific products. It also supports advanced refund and exchange functions, automatically re-evaluating baskets when items are returned and adjusting points or redemptions accordingly to protect profit margins.

Designed for omnichannel retail, Smart Rewards uses an API-first architecture to ensure a uniform loyalty experience across physical stores, e-commerce sites, and mobile apps. This cohesive approach helps retailers build stronger relationships with members by creating meaningful, rewarding interactions at key moments.

Smart Rewards is a component of Eagle Eye’s broader Smart Checkout suite, which offers retailers integrated tools for executing modern commerce strategies. The entire suite is cloud-based, supports easy integration with existing retail systems, and allows for rapid scaling as business needs evolve.
