What Convercus does

Convercus GmbH is a Munich-based B2B SaaS provider of enterprise loyalty and couponing technology, founded in 2012 as "Loyalty Pioneers" and operating primarily in the DACH region. The company serves 50+ mid-market and enterprise customers — predominantly retail, including Takko, OBI, EURONICS, Intersport, New Yorker, toom Baumarkt, PAYBACK, Modepark Röther, Depot, Hugendubel, and Pier 14 — with extensions into hospitality, automotive, and pharmaceutical retail. Its platform processes €18 billion in transaction volume, manages 40 million customer accounts, and connects approximately 20,000 POS terminals, all delivered with 100% GDPR-compliant EU-based data processing.

The product is structured as three modular pillars: a Loyalty Engine (points management, status tiers, rewards, omnichannel delivery, partner programs, gamification), a Couponing Engine (discounts, product bundles, coupon designer, event-based campaigns), and an Engagement Suite (AI data insights, marketing automation, personalization, white-label mobile app, wallet pass integration, digital checkout formats). The platform is built on an API-first architecture with OpenAPI-standard REST APIs, no-code connectors, and 50ms response times supporting real-time personalization and offline operation at enterprise scale. AI is applied across recommendation, segmentation, predictive analytics, and a generative-style AI reporting feature.

Revenue is generated through annual subscription licensing on a usage- and success-based pricing model with low implementation costs, distributed via direct enterprise sales, demo-led selling, and dedicated success management. The company operates with a small team (11-50 employees) and is privately held, with founder-CEO Thomas Lenz, co-founder and COO Dominic Spindler, and CFO Jens Obermeier. Strategic signals include a joint go-to-market partnership with DYMATRIX (customer intelligence and marketing analytics), multilingual website deployment (German, English, Spanish), and continued product surface expansion beyond core loyalty into broader customer engagement infrastructure.
