A central promotion engine connected to web, mobile, point of sale and partner channels

Promotion logic embedded in a storefront becomes storefront-specific overnight: rules live in templates, budgets live in spreadsheets, and nothing is reusable in the mobile app or in store.

A headless engine inverts that. Campaign rules, budgets and redemption history live behind an API, and every channel — web, app, POS, partner — calls the same endpoint.

The practical benefit shows up at replatforming time. Swapping a storefront becomes an integration task measured in days rather than a promotions rebuild measured in quarters.
