EQS-News: Vectron Systems AG: Vectron subsidiary acardo expands cooperation with budni

Münster, 18. April 2023: The acardo group AG (acardo), a wholly owned subsidiary of Vectron Systems AG (Vectron), will bring coupons to the budni-app in the future and will also take over industry marketing.

For successful retail chains, their own apps are now among the most important marketing channels. Added values such as discount coupons are particularly popular with the mostly younger users. In order to implement the playout of coupons in the budni app, budni will in future use a special backend service (API of the acardo Promotion Hub), which acardo has developed especially for digital touchpoints. This enables the simple integration of coupon promotions in apps and takes care of the display of corresponding graphics and texts. 

The acardo Promotion Hub is optimally integrated into the budni infrastructure, as the coupon clearing and thus also the coupon redemption is already managed by acardo. The new function in the budni app was launched in March 2023.

As with the EDEKA app, acardo will be responsible for marketing the app coupons to the industry. "We are pleased to have another driving force in digital marketing with the budni-app," says Christoph Thye, CEO of acardo group AG.
