Revio's scanning technology works on any smartphone with a camera. Staff simply open the scanner app in their browser and point at the customer's wallet pass. Points are added instantly with a confirmation that both the staff member and customer can see. There is no dedicated hardware to purchase, no software to install, and no IT setup — your team can start scanning within minutes of creating your loyalty program.

Benefits

Key benefits

01

No Hardware

Works on any smartphone with a camera — iPhone, Samsung, Xiaomi, or any other brand. Staff open the Revio scanner in their mobile browser and point it at the customer's pass. There is no need to buy dedicated barcode readers, POS terminals, or tablet stands. For businesses with tight margins, like coffee shops or bakeries, this removes the largest upfront cost of running a loyalty program.

02

Under 2 Seconds

Scan and confirm before the line moves. The scanner reads the QR code from the customer's wallet pass, identifies the customer, and adds stamps or points in under 2 seconds. Staff see a confirmation screen with the customer's name and updated balance. During a busy morning rush at a coffee shop doing 200 transactions per hour, those saved seconds add up to roughly 6 minutes of recovered serving time per shift.

03

Works Offline

The scanner continues working even when internet connectivity drops. If the connection goes down briefly — common in busy malls or basement locations — the transaction is queued locally and syncs automatically when connectivity returns. This means your loyalty program never stalls during peak hours, even in locations with unreliable Wi-Fi or mobile coverage.

04

Staff Training

The scanner interface is a single screen with one action: point and scan. New staff members can learn the entire process in under 3 minutes with no formal training session. There are no menus to navigate, no login codes to remember, and no multi-step workflows. This simplicity matters for businesses with high staff turnover or part-time employees who work only a few shifts per week.

Process

How it works

1

Open Scanner

Staff opens the Revio scanner on their phone by tapping a saved bookmark or home screen shortcut. The scanner is a progressive web app (PWA), so it launches instantly without waiting for an app to load. Staff can also add it to their home screen for one-tap access, making it as fast as opening any native app.

2

Point & Scan

The phone's camera activates and reads the QR code displayed on the customer's Apple or Google Wallet pass. The scan works in any lighting condition, including dim environments like restaurants or bars. The scanner recognizes passes from any angle and distance within about 10-30 cm, so staff do not need to be precise with positioning.

3

Confirm Action

The scanner displays the customer's name and current balance, then staff tap a button to add stamps or points. For stamp programs, it is a single tap: "Add Stamp." For points programs, staff can enter a custom amount (e.g., based on the bill total). A confirmation animation and a brief vibration tell both staff and customer that the transaction went through.

4

Customer Updated

The customer's wallet pass updates within seconds. They see their new stamp count or points balance without pulling to refresh or doing anything at all — the pass just updates. If the customer has earned a reward, both the staff member and customer see a reward notification, so the redemption can happen in the same visit.

Use cases

Quick-service restaurants with high throughput where scanning must take under 3 seconds per customer
