After working in the sales and marketing departments of large companies as Philips, Electrolux and Zetes, VRSolutions was created in 2007 as an independent consultancy company. The goal was to benefit more from new, own ideas.
VRS started selling Loyalty solutions using standalone terminals centralising data via telephone lines. In 2009 the city of Antwerp needed a Loyalty System. By using known terminal techniques and modern communication methods via online frontend solutions we managed to concept a solution that only needed a card reader as hardware investment. Via API we managed to integrate with different other platforms. Generating structured transactions and consequently analysing them created means to influence wanted behaviour. All this by using standard hardware.
The loyalty card became an ID for more services. We managed to atomise the card replacement. After lost, and replaced all systems need to be synchronised.
Working with a hardware key we encountered integration problems that were solved by using a tokenisation. This made integration with other systems or services that use the same ID much cheaper. It is possible to use any NFC card as secure ID. The tokenisation process is secured via a pin code . Changing this pin-code generates a new token in case the tokenisation is compromised. Distributing only one ID gains a lot of cost. Next step is virtualising the plastic card. For safety reasons Apple does not yet allow to emulate NFC cards. With Android the POC works fine.
