Spendgo partners with Buzztime on loyalty, marketing tablets

Spendgo, a loyalty and digital marketing company, is deploying Buzztime customer-facing tablets among its customer base, which includes small and medium-size businesses and well-known national brands, according to a press release.

«We feel confident in Buzztime's proven track record of deploying, managing, and supporting large fleets of tablets across the nation. We're extremely excited about this partnership and look forward to adding even more value to our relationships with retail partners,» Spendgo CEO Ivan Matkovic said in the release.

Buzztime's partnership with Spendgo follows the closing of a $3 million tablet contract with a provider of technology and communications services to correctional facilities.

«This increased demand for Buzztime tablet systems in various industries underscores the versatility of our hardware, Android software and device management platform,» Ram Krishnan, Buzztime CEO, said in the release. «In this partnership with Spendgo, we're thrilled with the opportunity to showcase the adaptability of the Buzztime tablet solution.»

The custom Buzztime tablet solution was able to meet Spendgo's unique challenges, such as the need for tablets that integrate with legacy POS systems, the need for a customized Android OS with tethering, and the ability to connect to USB and charge at high speed simultaneously.

«A key benefit to Spendgo is that Buzztime controls its own tablet form factor, which provides us with flexibility and customization options,» said Matkovic. «For example, we're able to install drivers, connect to ethernet while charging, and manage devices across our network.»
