Perka: More Than One Million Customer Check-Ins

Perka, the Portland developer of mobile loyalty software for local merchants, reports that it has just hit over one million customer check-ins using its products, allowing its merchants to reward customers with perks over 100,000 times. Perka's mobile app--which runs on either iPhone or Android--let's customer "check-in" to tick off a virtual punch card, with consumers getting a free reward after a certain number of repeat visits (for example, a free item after the tenth visit). Perka says it has been in the market now for two years, and is now expanding beyond its roots in Portland and the U.S., into Canada, the U.K., Latin America and Australia--and even Uganda and South Africa.
