CorFire™, the mobile
commerce business of SK C&C USA and the industry-leading mobile
technology expert, is providing virtual mobile payment capabilities to
Dunkin’ Donuts, America’s all-day, everyday stop for coffee and baked
goods. The technology supports Dunkin’ Donuts’ recently-launched mobile
app which eliminates the need for physical cards and enables consumers
to gift via SMS, email, and social networks.
The Dunkin’ App is technology agnostic and works without the need to
wait on NFC, enhancing the consumers’ shopping experience by providing
convenient and easy-to-use mobile payment options. The solution, which
works on most smartphones, also delivers Dunkin’ Donuts franchisees with
payment and gifting solutions that drive customer loyalty while
providing cost savings.
“Dunkin’ Donuts is a great example of a merchant whose products and
in-store environment are ideal for mobile purchases,” said Jon Squire,
CMO of CorFire. “Incorporating a mobile wallet offering to a customer
base that is always on the go enhances their overall shopping
experience, increases convenience and drives in-store foot traffic.
Dunkin’ Donuts has truly embraced the mobile medium, and it’s an
absolute honor to work with such a dedicated partner.”
In addition to mobile payment options, the app developed by CorFire
incorporates social media functions such as mobile gifting options
through social media (i.e. Facebook), to mobile devices, via email and
text message. Unlike other gift cards that are forgotten or lost,
senders can view the status of sent gift cards (as unclaimed or
delivered) to ensure cards are utilized along with notifications and
reminders about gift redemption.
“Dunkin’ Donuts strives to provide the highest level of service along
with the best quality baked goods and coffee available,” said Scott
Hudler, Vice President of Global Consumer Engagement at Dunkin’ Brands,
Inc. “The consumer feedback we’ve received to date has been extremely
positive, as this completely virtual mobile application delivers the
convenience, security and user-friendly applications our guests need to
make the most of their shopping and gifting experiences in our
restaurants.”
The application also provides customers with other useful information
ranging from store location to nutritional information.
