GABROTECH - ICO Review

In Gabrotech, we have a vision to disrupt the loyalty rewards market and hand back the control of rewards rules to the public. Our open-loop decentralized ecosystem Gabro aims to provide consumers with the ability for instant redemption and manage multiple loyalty point and exchange them freely on a single blockchain enabled platform.

WHY DISRUPT THE REWARDS INDUSTRY

THE LOYALTY REWARDS PROGRAM MARKET IS WORTH AN ESTIMATED USD 500 BILLION, WITH EACH HOUSEHOLD ENROLLING IN AN AVERAGE OF 25 PROGRAMS. HOWEVER, THE ACTUAL UTILISATION OF REWARDS POINTS VARIES FROM 10% TO 80%, DEPENDING ON SECTOR.

SURVEYS INDICATE THAT UP TO 78% OF CONSUMERS ARE UNSATISFIED WITH THE FRAGMENTED STATE OF THE LOYALTY PROGRAM MARKET. MANY CONSUMERS ALSO HOLD THE BELIEF THAT LOYALTY PROGRAM OPERATORS (LPO) MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO REDEEM POINTS, AS EXPIRED POINTS BECOME A FORM OF PROFIT TO THE LPOS. THIS PRESENTS A HUGE OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO IMPROVE THINGS.

USE CASE 1: FLIGHT REDEMPTION

John wants to redeem an air flight ticket to go to New York from London. When he looks at his air mileage loyalty program, he finds that his points are insufficient for a ticket redemption. He has two options: he can either pay cash to buy outstanding points, or use his credit card to purchase items to earn points and thereafter, convert the points to mileage. These options are both costly and take a lot of time. Meanwhile, John normally uses his credit card to earn retail loyalty points or shopping incentives and has many points for the supermarket chain instead of the airline. He finds out that loyalty points are not interchangeable between stores, brands or industries.

The Solution

Gabro Wallet 2.0 is the first loyalty crypto wallet designed for consumers to conveniently convert their unused loyalty points to cryptocurrency (Gabro Coin) in order to instantly redeem their preferred services, discount coupons, loyalty points, air tickets, hotel rooms, etc. Gabro Wallet 2.0 also allows users to set their redemption targets and personalise their notifications according to the amount of points needed for various redemption levels. Gabro Prepaid Card allows users to earn a 0.1% reward for every purchase they make. This incentive will be transferred to the user in the form of Garbo coins, which additionally gives them the opportunity to become Gabro coin holders and benefit from a potential upside in coin value.

USE CASE 2: FUNDING TRAVEL WITH CRYPTOCURRENCIES AND CROSS-BORDER ONLINE SHOPPING IN CRYPTOCURRENCY

Winnie is a bitcoin investor who enjoys travelling and shopping online. She finds it difficult to convert her bitcoins to fiat currency when she is overseas or when she wants to shop online.

The solution

Gabro Wallet 2.0 allows users to buy, hold and exchange Bitcoin, Ether Litecoin and other cryptocurrencies with fiat currencies at the best possible exchange rate. It can hold, transfer and exchange users’ money in their home currency and other foreign currencies with the real exchange rate.

With the Gabro Card, users can spend globally with real exchange rates and make international ATM withdrawals. They will also receive instant payment notifications and view intuitive analytics that automatically categorise their transactions, allowing them to plan ahead and stay within their budget.

CASE 3: INBOUND REMITTANCES AND CROSS-BORDER P2P PAYMENTS

Andy is an investment banker and a frequent traveller. He is using his bank’s service to transfer money and finds it hard to have a consistently positive experience when moving money locally and overseas. Despite living in a globalised and networked world, the process of transferring money from one place to another can sometimes still be rather troublesome. Andy’s complaints for overseas money transfers through a bank include: unfavourable forex rates, lengthy transfers, overly-complicated processes and high bank transfer fees.

The solution

Gabro Wallet 2.0 allows users to send tokens or loyalty points to their friends and family, locally and globally, in seconds, via Token. Recipients can choose to convert the coins to fiat currency or loyalty points at competitive forex rates and/ or handling fees through a flexible and simple process.
