Qupid is an IoT-based mobile marketing platform that rethinks the way businesses interact with consumers and reinvigorates the in-store purchasing experience.

Qupid integrates iBeacon technology with an iOS native app and web app to provide a B2C solution that distributes advertisements/coupons to shoppers in real-time, based on their vicinity to the beacons. Business owners are provided data-driven statistics regarding consumer trends while bargain-hunters are rewarded with curated coupons by their favorite brick-and-mortar stores.

• Create a user account
• Estimote beacons are always "on" (for ~5 years if you were wondering) and constantly emit BLE signals which the Qupid iOS app listens for
• When within close proximity with beacon, you will receive a coupon if there exists an active coupon related to the beacon and you have not already previously received that particular coupon
• Browse through active and used/expired beacon-fetched coupons and sort by date, time to expiration and savings
• When selecting a coupon to use, the app will generate a unique QR code which can be scanned at checkout by the business owner's Scanner App
