Loyal Guru

What Loyal Guru does

Loyal Guru (legal entity JOBTITUDE, S.L.) is a Barcelona-based SaaS company founded in 2016 that operates an AI-driven loyalty and promotions platform for enterprise retailers and grocers. The platform unifies four core modules — Loyalty Management (points, tiers, multi-country rewards), Promotional Engine (centralized offer execution at scale), Gamification (missions, instant-win mechanics), and AI Promo Personalization (1-to-1 hyper-personalized offers) — with supporting AI Loyalty Operations and a CPG Supplier Portal. The underlying technology is a cloud-native, multi-tenant architecture on Google Cloud Platform with sub-second evaluation of billions of data points, real-time API performance at POS and e-commerce, multi-region/multi-currency deployment, and ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type 2, and GDPR compliance. Named enterprise customers include Decathlon, MANGO, Sprinter, Desigual, Cencosud, Spar, and Auchan, with activity reported in 100+ countries.

Loyal Guru monetizes primarily through annual SaaS subscriptions priced via quote-based enterprise sales, supplemented by professional services for onboarding and campaign strategy delivered by dedicated Customer Success Managers. A secondary revenue lever comes from CPG brand co-funding of promotional campaigns — 63% of discounts are reportedly funded by CPG suppliers through the dedicated supplier portal — which functions as a media-network revenue layer on top of the core SaaS. The company employs roughly 70 people across Barcelona and Bogotá, with a sales-led go-to-market targeting Tier 1 retailers and grocers in Europe and the Americas, supported by inside sales for mid-market and LATAM accounts. Direct enterprise field sales is the exclusive distribution channel; there is no self-serve or marketplace motion.

The company has raised over $11M cumulatively since 2019, including an €8M Series A led by Nauta Capital in March 2022 with Greycroft and Telegraph Hill Capital participating. As of 2025, third-party data places ARR at $7M and post-money valuation at $21.1M. The platform reports measurable customer outcomes including 7:1 ROI on coupon campaigns, 15% redemption rates, 50% of customers redeeming at least one coupon, 2x incremental sales, and 25% AOV increases, though these figures are company-disclosed and not independently audited.
