Better Control over Digital Promotions

Inmar and NCR partner on an integrated solution that makes it easier to rapidly deploy digital coupons

Winston-Salem, N.C.Oct. 30, 2013Inmar announced that it entered into a strategic relationship with NCR Corporation, a global provider of consumer transaction technologies, that gives retailers increased control over their digital promotions and helps them capitalize on the growing demand for digitally delivered offers.
