Currently, our customers and users can perform the access process to the Saving Plan daily using their smartphone. First, they have to download de free APP for Android or IOS, sign up to the system and with this app they can accumulate money for their purchases by scanning the tickets, performing other readings with the phone, checking balance in the Saving Plan, geolocalize the participating stores, check balances and perform extra contributions.
Nowadays, the economic transaction where the PENSUMO software is embedded can be made with the APP and in a similar way to the TravelClub program. The buyer identifies himself at the payment and the seller recognizes the Pensumo card with the existing Pensumo tablet and types the amount of the purchase. Our project definitely believes that the very cheap smartphones consumption market will explode and there will be widespread acceptance of its use by consumers. It is a necessary condition, but not enough.
During the last months we have designed a prototype with a TFT-LCD screen where information videos are played. The videos are about the system, currently in the first stage, and allow us to spread the concept in an easy and friendly way. When this system reaches the market stage, it would be able to allow the user to sign up, check for nearby stores, watch videos and access Pensumo brochures and cards.
We made a demonstration with our technological and commercial pilot that works in Borja (Zaragoza) since November 2013 where currently, the 10% of the population is daily playing PENSUMO.
