Jisp's Confex Savings Club recruits first new wholesalers

Jisp's Confex Savings Club recruits first new wholesalers

The tech company Jisp has announced that it has recruited the first new wholesalers to its Confex Savings Club.

Following a successful official launch at the Confex Trade Show in March, the new wholesale specific loyalty platform has been attracting a lot of interest from Confex members up and down the UK.


That interest has resulted in a number of wholesalers, both delivered and cash & carry based models, registering with Jisp to take Confex Savings Club into their businesses in order to offer their customers loyalty rewards and discounts on a range of big brand products.

One such wholesaler is Lion Catering Limited. "We are thrilled to join Jisp’s loyalty program as a wholesaler and look forward to offering our customers additional savings for shopping with us through the Confex Savings Club powered by Jisp” said Ergun Ozdil, director at Poole-based Lion Catering.

Other wholesalers signing up include Great Yarmouth-based Thompsons Food Service Ltd, Worldlink Wholesale Ltd, Wembley, Falcon Cash & Carry, Leicester, and Epicurium, of Consett, County Durham. Many more wholesale operators have registered their interest and are already in the process of signing up.

“We’re incredibly pleased to be joining the Confex Savings Club powered by Jisp,” said Ryan Thompson, director of Thompsons Food Service Ltd. “We were introduced to it at the trade show and immediately saw the benefits it would bring to our business and our customers through savings and reward payments. After meeting the team at Jisp we knew it was an absolute must for Thompson Food Service Ltd.”

Confex Savings Club offers more value than other industry-leading loyalty programs. Wholesalers can offer customers fantastic savings and rewards that drive loyalty while earning them extra through a supplier revenue share.

“We’ve had a great deal of interest in the Confex Savings Club powered by Jisp since its successful launch at the Confex Trade Show,” said Ilann Hepworth, managing director of Jisp. “That is five wholesale operators who have now signed up and we’re in the later stages of signing up many more. The appetite for a wholesale specific loyalty and rewards platform is high and we’re having new businesses contact us every week with regards signing up.”

Customers of participating Confex members save and earn money, simply by redeeming product vouchers at their Confex wholesaler, and brands can reach retailers through special promotions while receiving data and insights about who is shopping their products.
