Past deals in NFC

Pi-xcels

Non Equity Assistance in 2023
Pi-xcels develops a retail technology platform that incorporates an NFC-enabled point-of-sale (POS) device to facilitate the issuance of interactive e-receipts through a simple contactless tap with a smartphone. This innovative solution allows retailers to link any existing POS system to Pi-xcels' platform, thereby replacing traditional thermal paper receipts, which are harmful to the environment due to their BPA and BPS content. By eliminating paper waste, the company aims to provide offline retailers with cost savings and valuable insights into consumer purchasing behaviors through its shopper data platform. This approach not only enhances the shopping experience for consumers but also supports retailers in adapting to modern data-driven practices.
