How AI-Powered Receipt Scanning is Revolutionizing Influencer Marketing

The Disconnect Between Online Influence and Local Shopping

For years, influencer marketing has primarily focused on driving online sales. While influencers excel at promoting products to their audiences, they’ve been largely disconnected from local brick-and-mortar businesses where most consumer spending still happens.

This creates a significant gap in the market: local merchants miss out on the power of digital word-of-mouth, while influencers can’t effectively monetize their impact on local shopping behaviors.

Bridging Digital Influence and Physical Shopping

At Quodos, we’ve developed a breakthrough solution that bridges this gap. Our platform enables influencers to promote special offers from local merchants to their followers. What makes our approach unique is how these promotions are redeemed:

1. A follower clicks on an influencer’s unique discount link
2. The offer is “held” for the consumer for a set time period
3. The consumer shops normally at the physical store
4. They simply scan their receipt using our app
5. Our AI technology automatically verifies the purchase and processes the rebate

How Our AI Receipt Technology Works

Our proprietary AI-powered OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology is the key innovation behind Quodos. When a consumer scans their receipt, our system:

• Accurately extracts all relevant purchase information from the paper receipt
• Uses advanced pattern recognition to identify store information, items purchased, and pricing
• Matches the extracted data against the specific offer the consumer claimed earlier
• Verifies the purchase date, specific items, and transaction amount
• Automatically calculates the appropriate rebate based on the verified purchase
• Processes the payment directly to their preferred method (bank account, gift card, or prepaid card)

This happens quickly and securely, creating a seamless experience for consumers while providing valuable, verified tracking data for both merchants and influencers.
