Properly coded coupons are important for both retailers and manufacturers. Accurate family code information makes for effective coupon programs, without costly purchase requirements and hard-to-handle problems. |
CouponFIT® Retail Service
Retailers know that accurate and timely family code information is essential to efficient coupon acceptance. Coupons that do not scan correctly frustrate consumers and cost retailers time and money. CouponFIT® family code management services keep retail point-of-sale systems up-to-date. It is a service that can easily pay for itself.
Coupons.com Incorporated is an industry expert in family codes with over twenty-five years of industry experience. We obtain family codes directly from manufacturers, regardless of how they manage them, then validate and correct them as needed. Our master family code database is the only comprehensive source for item-level family codes.
Weekly data file updates are customized for each client. A weekly exception file lists invalid UPC submissions with explanations. Often this information reveals mistakes in a point-of-sale system item file, improving efficiency for all in-store transactions.
